How the Elephant got his trunk

Once upon a time, there was a sad elephant. He was dirty and stinky, because he could not reach to wash his back. All the other animals didn’t play with him because he was smelly. Elephant sat under a tree, where nobody could see him. He started to cry. His head was hanging down, crying big tears. He sat and cried for days. One day, when his tears had dried up, he went to itch his head and he felt a bump on his back. Then he noticed his nose had stretched because it had got wet with all the crying and it was now a long trunk which had hit him on his back. He went to the river and got his trunk, put it in the water and sucked the water up. Then he sprayed his back with water.

All the other animals came over to him and said “you are so clean and smell so lovely. Do you want to play with us?”

The elephant was so happy and said “yes.”

The End.

I love my motherland

Dear teachers，

I’m so glad to have the chance to give you a speech here. The topic of my speech is “I love my motherland”.

Before I started school, my mother told me that “Our country is called China.” when I attended school, the teacher told me that “Our country is called The People's Republic of China”. We love our mothers, and we also need to love our motherland. When I was in the nursery school, I always envied big brothers and big sisters, because they could wear the red scarves, but I could not. The teacher told us:" the red scarf is a corner of the red flag. It is dyed with the blood of martyrs."

Finally one day, the red scarf hanged on my chest. Under the flag of Young Pioneers, I closed five fingers together, put my hand way up high. I knew deep inside that this salute meant the benefit of the people is higher than all. The red scarf would be Along with us, told us to "study hard, make

progress day by day." The flag of Young Pioneers would guide us to "learn from Lei Feng, do good things."

Gradually, we increase in height, and grow up. We know the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. We also know that the red flag symbolizes the glories and dreams of the motherland. We also know that we are the future and hope of our country. Whenever I see the five-star red flag rising, my feeling is extremely excited. “Ah motherland, you are my mom. Ah mom, you are the motherland. I love you.”

我爱祖国

老师好，

我很高兴能有这个机会在这做演讲，我演讲的题目是：我爱祖国

入学之前，妈妈对我说：“我们的祖国叫中国。”上学了，老师对我讲：“我们的祖国叫中华人民共和国’,我们要爱妈妈,更要爱祖国。 记得在幼儿园的时候,我总是羡慕那些大哥哥和大姐姐，因为他们带着红领巾。老师告诉我们，“红领巾是红旗的一角，是用烈士的鲜血染红的”。

终于有那么一天, 红领巾系在了我的胸前。在鲜红的少先队旗下,五指并拢,高举过头,我深深知道：这个敬礼代表人民的利益高于一切!鲜艳的红领巾将伴随着我们“好好学习，天天向上”！鲜艳的少先队旗指引着我们“学雷锋、做好事”。 渐渐地，我们长高了、长大了。知道了，长江、黄河;知道了，红旗象征着祖国的光荣和梦想；知道了，我们是祖国的未来和希望。 每当我看到冉冉升起的五星红旗时，我的心情都无比激动。祖国啊，妈妈，妈妈啊，祖国。我爱你。
