Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen I’m glad to attend this speech contest. Now I would like to share something about thanksgiving with you.
Do you know Thanksgiving Day just passed a few days ago? It has a long history. Once upon a time , the Pilgrims took the May Flower Ship to North America. They started a new life there although they have encountered a lot of difficulties and hardships. After a long time work, they got a big harvest. The Pilgrims had a feast near Plymouth, which is often referred to as the first Thanksgiving Day. It seems as if it is the day to celebrate. But nowadays it’s a day that gives us a chance to thanks for the people who have helped us in our lives. It is known to us all that no one could be happy or successful without the help of others. Though our country doesn’t have Thanksgiving Day, we should be grateful all the time.
But as high school students, how can we express our gratitude? It’s never a simple question to answer. But for my part, you should feel grateful when you taste the delicious food your mother prepares for you. Moreover, on teacher’s day, you ought to show your gratitude to your teacher from the bottom of your heart. Besides, let me tell you a story. There is a girl who has a kind grandma. Her grandma never blame on
her for all the things she did wrong and was willing to care about her all the time. But she never said thank you to her grandma. One day her grandma passed away. Since then, the girl has been missing her grandma so much and regretting what she has done to her grandma, but her grandma will never come back. As same as what you think, I am that girl. The death of my grandma is a pity of my whole life, from then on, I realized how important that gratitude is. Gratitude makes you find out how much love you have got from others. And if you focus on your daily life, you will find that gratitude is everywhere. Such as a thank you note, a shining smile, and even a greeting. Likewise, the person, who stand here giving you a speech, is also showing her gratitude.
In addition, what’s the significance of showing our gratitude? There is a proverb that says: gratitude is the sign of noble souls. Wow! Until now I’m not that kind of giant, but I dare to say that everyone, no matter rich or poor, happy or sad, young or old, has the right and the duty to show his gratitude to the world. On the other hand, gratitude contributes to building up a harmonious society. Under the same sky we enjoy the same sunshine and appreciate the same love. So why not show our gratitude to the people around us?
That’s all, thank you for your listening.
