1、Dear teacher and my dear friends:I am very pleased to stand here and deliver a short speech to you.And I feel quite lucky to be the first one to give the speech. Today my topic is about our environment.Environmental problems are becoming more and more serious all over the world. With the development
2、 of industry and agriculture, cars make great noise and give off poisonous gas. Trees on the hills have been cut down,and waste water is being poured continuously into rivers. Furthermore,wherever we go today, we can find rubbish carelessly disposed. The whole ecological balance of the earth is chan
3、ging. The earth is our home and we have the duty to take care of it for ourselves and for our later generations. So how to protect the environment?Initially,We must face the situation that exists and take actions to solve our environmental problems. For instance, new laws must be passed to control i
4、ndustrial pollution, the public must receive the education about the disadvantages of pollution and so on. We hope that all these measures will be effective and bring back a healthful environment.As for us, as school students, can also join in recycling activities to protect the environment. For exa
5、mple, set up a recycling center beside, which is very useful. It is used to collect the waste paper and plastic bottles. In the high school, our classmates used to throw all of these into the trashbin. At the very beginning of this collecting activity, it was not so warm-welcomed. Later, more and mo
6、re people were influenced by the others and joined this collecting activity. Gradually, all the students in our class form a good habit to protect the environment. All of us will now put away the reusable things instead of throwing them into the trashcan. We should always remember in our mind that protecting the environment is our duty that we can never neglect. Finally would you please let me end this speech with a little poem, “Be kind to the river. Be good to the trees. Smile at the sunshine, and bow to the breeze. Be friendly to nature, and nature will be friendly to you!”
