Good morning, my dear friends. My topic is “I am a teacher”. I have just graduated this year. I know I look very young. I have to admit that my experience as a teacher is not worth mentioning compared to other teachers. But in this short three months, I have experienced confusion and sadness as well as pleasure and satisfaction. It is my love for teaching that encourages me to share so many feelings with all of you. I really had a hard time at the first place. As a new teacher, both English teaching and class management are big challenge for me. Problems come one after another. On the one hand, few students did not study hard at all. They were indolent in class, talking, sleeping and doing anything they like. They showed deaf ears to your advice or criticism. On another hand, it is a common sight that other teachers who teach my class complain to me. As a class teacher, I felt really ashamed. Sometimes I even stay with my students when they were taking other lessons. They can not behave well although they promised me. I felt as if I lost way in the sea. I love my students so much but they just can not control themselves. But an event changed the situation. I say “I love you” in

class by chance. I just take this sentence as an example. I did not expect students replied to me “I love you too”. I was thinking it over and over again since then. Your students may do not know how much you love them and care about them. So just tell them. those ideas enlightened me suddenly just like a bright lamp in the darkness. Since then, I reduce the criticism about their mistakes or faults. Instead, I tell them how much I love them. So they should understand me and other teachers. What is more, I spend more time staying with them. For me, that is a kind of happiness. Now my students may still make mistakes, but I believe they are willing to change. The power of love is always amazing. It can change your mind totally.

That is all for my speech. Thank you for your attention.

A Scene to Remember

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Today I would like to begin with a story.

There was once a physical 1) therapist who traveled all the way from America to Africa to do a 2) census about mountain 3) gorillas. These gorillas are a main attraction to tourists from all over the world; this put them severely under threat of 4) poaching and being put into the zoo. She went there out of curiosity, but what she saw strengthened her determination to devote her whole life to fighting for those beautiful creatures. She witnessed a scene, a scene taking us to a place we never imaged we've ever been, where in the very depth of the African rainforest, surrounded by trees, flowers and butterflies, the mother gorillas 5) cuddled their babies.

Yes, that's a memorable scene in one of my favorite movies, called Gorillas in the Mist, based on a true story of Mrs. Dian Fossey, who spent most of bet lifetime in Rwanda to protect the ecoenvironment there until the very end of her life.

To me, the movie not only presents an unforgettable scene but also acts as a 6) timeless reminder that we should not develop the tourist industry at the cost of our ecoenvironment.

Today, we live in a world of prosperity but still threatened by so many new problems. On the one hand, tourism, as one of the most promising industries in the 21st century, provides people with the great opportunity to see everything there is to see and to go any place there is to go. It has become a lifestyle for some people, and has turned out to be the driving force in GDP growth. It has the magic to turn a backward town into a wonderland of prosperity. But on the other hand, many problems can occur---natural scenes aren't natural anymore. Deforestation to heat lodges is devastating Nepal. Oil spills from tourist boats are polluting Antarctica. Tribal people are forsaking their native music and dress to listen to U2 on Walkman and wear Nike and Reeboks.

All these 7) appalling(令人震惊的) facts have brought us to the realization that we can no longer stand by and do nothing, because the very thought of it has been 8) eroding(侵蚀) our resources. Encouragingly, the explosive growth of global travel has put tourism again in the spotlight, which is why the United Nations has made 2002

the year of ecotourism, for the first time to bring to the world's attention the benefits of tourism, but also its capacity to destroy our ecoenvironment.

Now every year, many local ecoenvironmental protection organizations an: receiving donations--big notes, small notes or even coins--from housewives, 9) plumbers(水管工人), ambulance drivers, salesmen, teachers, children and 10) invalids(残疾人), Some of them can not afford to send the money but they do. These are the ones who drive the cabs, who nurse in hospitals, who are suffering from ecological damage in their neighborhood. Why? Because they care. Because they still want their Mother Nature back. Because they know it still belongs to them.

This kind of feeling that I have, ladies and gentlemen, is when it feels like it, smells like it, and looks like it, it's all coming from a scene to remember, a scene to recall and to cherish.

The other night, as l saw the moon linger over the land and before it was sent into the invisible, my mind was filled with songs. I found myself humming softly, not to the music, but to some- thing else, someplace else. a place remembered, a place untouched, a field of grass where no

one seem to have been except the deer.

And all those unforgettable scenes strengthened the feeling that it's lime for us to do something, for our own and our coming generation.

Once again, I have come to think of Mrs. Dian Fossey be- cause it's with her spirit, passion, courage and strong sense of our ecoenvironment that we are taking our next step into the world.

And no matter who we are, what we do and where we go, in our mind, there's always a scene to remember, a scene worth our effort to protect it and fight for it.

Thank you very much.
