Good afternoon, dear teachers and friends!

I' m happy to make a speech here. Thank you for your

coming. Now, the topic for my speech today is “Western

Festivals.” I would like to talk about Christmas.

Christmas is originally a Christian festival, as you

can e from the formation of this word, “Christ-mas.”

The first part of the word refers to Jesus Christ, and the

cond part “mas” comes from the word “mass,” referring

to a main religious ceremony in some Christian churches.

At first, it was celebrated for the birth of Jesus Christ.

Nowadays, although some churches still obrve this

festival for its religious reason, for most people,

including Chine people, Christmas has already become a

day of cular celebrations, when people exchange

greetings and gifts. However, it is still a biggest

festival in the West. It is as important to the Westerners

as the Spring Festival is to the Chine people.

Christmas day is on the 25th of December, and Christmas

Eve is of cour the evening of the previous day, the 24th

December.

Christmas holiday usually lasts for two weeks, during

which most schools have a Christmas break. Many families

put the Christmas tree in their hou, and hang many

decorations on the tree. Under the tree, they usually place

many Christmas prents. Giving out prents and receiving

prents are what kids like best about this festival.

On Christmas Eve, kids would put stockings at the end

of their bed, wishing the Santa Claus would come and give

them prents.

As to the tradition of giving and receiving prents

in Christmas, I think it has something to do with the

nativity story. In the nativity story, on the birthday of

baby Jesus, there was a bright star shining in the East.

There were three kings in the East who saw the star, and

they followed the star all the way to Bethlehem where the

star stopped. They came to a manger where baby Jesus was

lying. They worshiped the little baby and gave him prents.

I think this is a beautiful story. It shows a spirit of

sharing and love.

I like Christmas for the prents kids will receive and

for its lovely story.

Thank you very much!

Chine New Year is the most important festivity for

the Chine people. It is also called the Spring Festival

or the Lunar New Year.

Every year has an animal’s name. The animals are the

rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, hor, ram, monkey,

rooster, dog and pig. A Chine legend says that the

twelve animals had a race. The first year was named after

the rat, the winner. The other eleven years were named after

the order in which the animals arrived in the race. The

clever rat jumped onto the ox’s back then at the end jumped

over the ox’s head to arrive first!

The Chine believe that a person born in a particular

year has some of the characteristics of animal.

On Chine New Year’s Eve all family members enjoy a

big, delicious meal. It is very important for the Chine

to be with their families on this occasion. Fish is always

part of the dinner becau it reprents abundance.

On New Year’s Day all Chine children wear new clothes

with bright colors. Red is considered a lucky color.

Parents and relatives give children the traditional New

Year’s gift called lucky money. This money is put into

bright red and gold envelopes. Fill under the pillow. in

the morning of new year , the kid wakes up to e the “lucky

money”, express that onelf become one year older. Red

is a traditional color for festivals, celebrations,

weddings and birthdays.

The lion dancers are always part of the festivities.

The lion has a big head and long body made of cloth. The

lion dance is accompanied by drums, cymbals and noisy

firecrackers. According to ancient traditions the great

noi frightens away evil spirits.

The dragon is the most important figure of the Chine

New Year festivities and parades. The dragon is considered

a lucky figure. A parade dragon can be 20 to 30 meters long!

Sixty or more men move under a long cloth that reprents

the dragon’s tail.

During the parade children reprent the animals of the

Chine calendar. There are also acrobats and musicians in

beautiful costumes.

Happy New Year!

Dear Judges and Friends,

The topic for my speech today is “Festival.” I would

like to talk about my favorite festival, the Mid-Autumn

Festival.

In China we have veral important festivals, such as

the Spring Festival, the Lantern Festival, the Dragon-boat

Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival. Among them, I like

Mid-Autumn festival best, especially becau I live in

Xiamen.

In Xiamen, when we celebrate the Mid-Autumn festival,

we do not only follow the common practices such as having

a big dinner party with our family, eating mooncakes, and

appreciating the full moon at night, we also have one unique

custom which is only practiced in Xiamen, that is “Bo

Bing”.

“Bo Bing” is a very interesting game that almost all

Xiamen people play during this festival. Usually family

members or clo friends get together around a table with

a big round bowl in the middle and six dices in the bowl.

We take turns to throw the dices into the bowl. We will get

different prizes accroding to the different ways the dices

show their upper sides. Everyone is likely to become the

champion or “Zhuangyuan” for the year. There is an element

of luck and equal opportunity in this game. So people

usually get excited while playing. Also, the game gives

very pleasant sounds. The tinkling made by the dices

falling into the bowl is pleasant, people’s laughing,

cheering and applauding for the big prizes they’ve won is

pleasant. All this adds greatly to the joyful atmosphere

of this festival. As a kid, of cour I also like the

material prizes I get from the game, such as a candy or a

cake.

In this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival, my family invited

our foreign friends to come to our home to celebrate the

Festival together. They have two children who are younger

than me. While our parents were making Jiaozi together, we

kids played “Bo Bing”. We bought quite some gifts to share

with our guests as their enjoyed the game and

our get-together very much.

The literal translation of “Bo Bing” is “mooncake

gambling.” But actually it is not gambling, at least our

family never plays it that way. For us, it is more an

occasion of happy sharing and getting-together. This is why

Xiamen’s Mid-Autumn Festival has become my favorite

festival in the year.

Thank you very much!

The Spring Festival is the most important festival for

the Chine people and is when all family members get

together, just like Christmas in the West.

Waking up on New Year, everybody dress up. First they

extend greetings to their parents. Then each child will get

money as a New Year gift, wrapped up in red paper. People

in northern China will eat jiaozi, or dumplings, for

breakfast, as they think "jiaozi" in sound means "bidding

farewell to the old and ushering in the new".

That Chine people pay more attention to be

polite,while it is different from other countries .And

chine culture is brilliant and they know how to u a

brush to write

Now dragon is the symbol of the whole Chine people.

Dragon is a animal worshipped by the Chine people

from the time immemorial. But what is it? No one knows.

Some people think that the Yanzi crocodile is the

archetype of the dragon. However, most people hold that

dragon is a combination of many animals. And the abilities

of tho animals have been collected to it. Wang Chong, once

pointed that the horn of dragon liked deer's one, the head

liked camel's one, the eyes liked rabbit's one, the neck

liked snake's one, the talon liked eagle's one, the palm

liked tiger's one and the ear liked cattle's one.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.

Today I would like to talk about current environment

situations which you can e all over the world. While we

are pursuing better ways of lives, more problems we are also

making. Sometimes we only notice a unilateral aspect of the

matter while ignoring its various functions. This kind of

negligence, however, may cau rious problems that could

be devastating.

It is said that one fal move may lo the game. This

is proved in our daily life obviously. As the economy is

growing rapidly day after day, manufacturers are looking

for more opportunities to gain numerous profit. To earn

more money, one way is to decrea the cost of the products.

They move their factories to developing countries which can

not only benefit them much more profit than before, but also

tho countries welcome them since they can help increa

the countries’ GDP.

While it ems we can gain a lot from building factories

to produce products, the shortcomings of the buildings

are becoming obvious. Though at the beginning, tho

developing countries did gain a lot of profit. As time

pass, people living surround the factories deposit

industrial waste into the river which directly leads to the

influence of human’s lives. Fish died, birds disappeared,

people moved, and we couldn’t imagine what would come next.

The industries also u lots of resources to carry on

their production. Large amounts of carbon dioxide are

discharged, we all know the conquence of that, global

warming—as one of the most esntial environmental

problems in the world, is becoming more and more rious

currently. That the local government ignored was that the

factories damaged their environment without any punishment

but reception! They didn’t notice the negative aspect on

this investment. What a pity!

In summary, nowadays, businessmen are destroying our

motherland—earth for themlves. What should we do in this

situation? Ignore them or try to take some actions on it?

I believe all of us will choo the latter, right? So just

do it, nothing is impossible.

That’s all. Thank you.
