Mother! Oh! My dear mother! Before I come to this world, you don't know howmuch time you have to suffer in the hospital room, and I was born in your belly.I have heard you say that I am an underbelly, and I can imagine that I must beas naughty as a boy in your stomach, which has given you a lot of pain.
Mother, you are like a blue sky, I am that bird flying freely in the sky,soaring in your broad arms. It is you who gave me so many tenderness that I amhappy and healthy.
Mother! I want to say to you: "I love you! Thank you for making me happyand healthy and make me learn to be a human being.
Good evening dear teachers and fellow participants. I am very glad to make a speech here. I hope you will enjoy it. How time flies!Now I am a senior high school student and become an independent and brave girl. When I go out for a walk, breathing the free and fresh air, I always tell myself:all that I have now should be owed to my family, especially my parents. It is they who create my new life.
When I was a child, I was very naughty. Even though I was a girl, what I did showed I had the same characteristics as some boys living near my house. At that time, I preferred to play water and climb trees. There was no doubt that I dropped into the water and wetted my clothes. On hearing the word, my mother took me home in a hurry and dressed me in a clean dress, and then she gave me a good beating. I didn’t have any reaction but cry as loudly as I can. Originally I hoped the cry would change her mind and she might no longer beat me. However, it was just my sweet dream. I was still beaten by her frequently because of my bad habit and behavior. My father also scolded me hard, which was due to his bad temper. So the impression my parents made on me was very strict and they lost their temper easily, it seemed as if I was not their daughter and they didn’t love me at all.
After my little brother’s birth, my life changed a lot.
My brother was also a naughty boy; he always liked to make troubles. Sometimes he broke a plate, a bowl or something. He pointed out to my mum that it was I who did it. My mother often hated someone who did that, so I had no choice but to tolerate all scold and beat for him. Therefore, I was fed up with him, and we often quarreled with each other. Finally my mother taught me a lesson and reminded me now that I was the elder sister; I should take care of him and try to be patient with him. The reasons didn’t convince me. On the contrary, I thought she had a preference for my brother, it made me uncomfortable.
In reality, I experienced a lot in my childhood. I suffered from many diseases, which brought a lot of troubles for my parents, but they managed to cure me and did their best to let me enjoy the bright sunshine as others. However, what I got from it was not the happiness from their care, but the sigh of my miserable life. How foolish I was﹗
While I was studying in the Junior High School, what impressed me most was the quarrel with my mother. At that moment, my father worked in a remote place for my tuition and expenses of the whole family. I was in a boarding school so that I could only go home over the weekend. What a precious opportunity I had﹗Nevertheless, I lost it. After I returned home, I still quarreled with my mother. I complained that she did wrong to me and could not understand my feeling—actually I had never spoken it, I just keep a diary instead. I hated her preference for my brother. Later on, on my grade 2, I seemed to have realized I had done something wrong in the past. I was very regretful, and decided to change it. As a result, I promised myself that I must study hard to live up to their expectations. I made the best of my spare time and spent it on my study. At last, I entered into a Jiaoling Senior High School.
During my three years in the school, I really studied diligently, and I had never forgotten those words of encouragement my parents gave me. Whenever I was frustrated, I could always get the comfort from it even though I couldn’t escape the misfortune. One day, my mother had a car accident. The moment I heard the news, my head spun. She had been in hospital for a long time but I couldn’t see her and even look after her since my father didn’t allow me to do so. I blamed myself all the time ever since. I wished I had replaced her to bear the pain. Shortly the new session was coming, I threw into a dilemma. In the end, I made up my mind to quit the school. my father urged me to go to school but I didn’t agree. The result was that my father and my head teacher managed to persuade me to go on with my study. From then on, I understood the real meaning of my life. I treasured every chance, sparing no effort to my study. My mother was treated for a period of time and finally she recovered. A stone hanging up in my he
art was put down. With my efforts to master more knowledge, I was admitted to go to the university. On hearing the exciting news, my parents smiled happily.
In a word, my life was full of ups and downs, but it did not let me down. Now, even though I can’t see my parents because of the long distance, I insist on calling my parents up twice a week, chatting with them. Without them, my future would be in darkness. On Thanksgiving Day, I want to say “I love you” to them in a loud voice. I also thank all the parents for the great efforts they make. In the meantime, I wish them be happy.
We are more than we can express to our parents, who literally shaped us from an exciting idea to mature independence. First, let us give thanks to them for having the commitment to dedicate their lives to raise children. Putting aside one’s own selfish pleasures and conveniences for the sake of another is the hallmark of a loving person. To those with children, let us give thanks to you, where deferred gratification is a daily challenge. Next, let us give thanks to parents for protecting children. Kids are vulnerable, and keeping them free from harm allows them to develop in a context of support and security. Kids without this safety often are thrust prematurely into the adult world and later feel saddened that they missed the opportunities of growing up without conflict.
Finally, let us give thanks for parents as teachers. Children are born as fairly undifferentiated personalities, and parents, over the years, transmit literally millions of messages which eventually shape children’s personalities. While conflict or self-absorbed messages can have a negative effect on a child’s developing personality, messages based upon parent’s reflected values can teach positive habits commonly associated with personal happiness and success. This teaching is continuous throughout childhood and probably throughout life. The more thoughtful the message, the more prepared the child is to confront the developmental challenges of life.
So, let us give thanks for good parenting -- the commitment, protection and teaching which develops a child’s best qualities and benefits the entire community.
A teacher is like Spring,Who nurtures new green sprouts,Encourages and leads them,Whenever they have doubts.A teacher is like Summer,Whose sunny temperament Makes studying a pleasure,Preventing discontent.
A teacher is like Fall,With methods crisp and clear,Lessons of bright colorsAnd a happy atmosphere.A teacher is like Winter,While it‘s snowing hard outside,Keeping students comfortable,As a warm and helpful guide.
Teacher, you do all these things,With a pleasant attitude;You’re a teacher for all seasons,And you have my gratitude!

亲爱的同学们,我们的人生之路总是阳光明媚,晴空万里,到底哪一缕阳光最耀眼?有人说是优异的学习成绩,有人说是给予别人帮助……而我认为在我们的人生路上最灿烂的阳光应该属于知恩图报,感谢帮助我们成长的每一个人。是的,学会感恩,是一种情怀,学会感恩,更是一种情操.
作为教师和学生的我们,最要感恩的就是学校了。学校给我们了一个人生成长的大舞台:宽敞明亮的教室,崭新的桌椅,冷暖空调、以及多媒体设施,为我们提供了一个优美的学习环境。窗明几净的图书阅览一体室,为我们提供了畅游知识的海洋;平坦美丽的大操场,为我们提供了锻炼身体的好去处,还有陶艺室,电脑室、舞蹈室、多功能报告厅等等,无不是学校对我们奉献出的无私的爱!
可是,在这些美丽的地方,却常常有着一些不和谐的音符。在图书阅览一体室,有的同学看完书后,乱扔乱放,不知道放回原处,更有甚者还有撕书、拿书的现象;当红绿相间的人工大操场向我们敞开它无私的怀抱时,又有一些不和谐的景象刺痛了我们的眼睛:各种各样的纸屑,五颜六色的糖纸,还有散落在各个角落的瓜子壳、口香糖等等这些举不胜举!
同学们,请你把手放在自己的胸口扪心自问:“我感恩学校了吗?
同学们,就让我们共同努力吧,用自己良好的卫生习惯来感恩学校,让感恩的花儿在校园内开放的更加美丽。

人说:花朵把春天的门推开了。我说:感恩把和谐的门推开了,和谐把生活的门推开了。只要你用心去听花开的声音,生活到处都是和谐的乐章。
爱,像火种点燃心灵的希望; 爱,像绿茵撑起心灵的天空。爱,是一种力量,是一种财富。我们应该从小在心中撒播爱的种子。让我们心存感激,学会感恩。用一颗感恩的心去面对生活,面对学习,面对挫折,从而体会父母,师长,同学,朋友间无私的亲情,友情,"懂得滴水之恩,当涌泉相报”的真正内涵.
感恩是中华民族的传统美德,是构建社会主义和谐社会的需要。广东律师田世国为了回报母亲的恩情,在老母病危时瞒着她捐出了自己的肾脏,挽回了母亲的生命;徐本禹为了回报社会对他的恩情,毅然在大学毕业后离开繁华城市,走进穷乡僻壤的破草棚,给求知若渴的孩子们送去知识……
感激生育你的人,因为他们使你获得生命;感激抚养你的人,因为他们使你不断成长;感激关怀你的人,因为他们给你温暖;感激鼓励你的人,因为他们给你力量;感激教育你的人,因为他们开化你的蒙昧;感激伤害你的人,因为他们磨练了你的心智;感激绊倒你的人,因为它强化了你的双腿;感激藐视你的人,因为它觉醒了你的自尊;感激遗弃你的人,因为他教会了你该独立;凡事感激,学会感激,感激一切使你成长的人!
同学们,有首歌叫《感谢你》:感谢明月照亮了夜空,感谢朝霞捧出的黎明,感谢春光融化了冰雪,感谢大地哺育了生灵,感谢母亲赐予我生命……感谢收获、感谢和平、感谢这所有的一切一切。
感恩无痕,感恩无限!同学们,学会感恩吧!让我们的生活永远走向关怀,充满真情和爱心!让我们携起来手来,共同努力,构建一个人人向往的社会主义和谐社会!
我的生命本是一张空白的画纸,是父母将我带到了这个世界,于是,生命的画纸上开始有了颜色——热情的红色,纯净的白色,明亮的黄色,闲适的绿色,偶尔也会出现只是淡淡的。
失败时,父母总会在身旁鼓舞我;伤心时,父母总会安慰我;成功时,父母也会跟着我开心的笑;犯错时,父母总会耐心的教育我,开导我。
天冷了,父母常叮嘱我多穿衣服;出远门了,父母常叮嘱我注意身体。虽然有些唠叨,但却蕴涵着那深沉的爱。
我们都说母爱伟大,母爱之所以伟大,不仅在于她的忘我与无私,一杯水,一件衣服,都有着父母对我们的关怀。
我们常常想,等自己长大了,有出息了,一定要好好的报答父母。可我们何曾想过,岁月不饶人,等我们有出息了,可那时父母可能已经不在了。
“子欲养而亲不待”,世界上最大的悲哀莫过于此。父母不需要很好的物质生活,他们需要的是我们的关心。从现在起,为父母分担点吧!
My life is a blank paper, is my parents brought me into this world, so thepaper began with the color of life, enthusiastic red, pure white, bright yellow,leisurely and comfortable green, occasionally also can appear just light.
When I fail, my parents always cheer me up. My parents always comfort mewhen I'm sad. When I succeed, my parents will laugh with me. When I make amistake, my parents will always be patient with education me, enlighten me.
It's cold, my parents always tell me to wear more clothes; Far away, myparents often told me to pay attention to my body. There is some nagging, but itcontains deep love.
We all say that maternal love is great, the mother love is great, not onlyis her selflessness and selflessness, a cup of water, a clothing, all haveparents to our care.
We often think that when we grow up, we will be able to repay our parents.But we have thought, time is not rao, wait for us to have the interest, but thenparents may be no longer.
The greatest sorrow in the world is this. Parents don't need a goodmaterial life, they need our care. From now on, share points for yourparents!
good evening, ladies and gentlemen, honorable judges and distinguished guest! this is alex time! ha-ha…my topic today is to show our gratitude to people around you.
then what is gratitude? at the moment a well-known song comes into my mind. yes, that is called heart of feel grateful. my heart is filled up with gratitude because i’m with you/your make me courageous to be myself from cradle to the grave/so now i wanna thank for destiny/i’ll cherish the flower when it blooms until falls. the poetic lyric tells us that gratitude is actually a state of mind.
once upon a time, the pilgrims took the may flower ship to north america. they started a new life there although a lot of difficulties and hardships they encountered. after a long-time work, they got a big harvest. the pilgrims had a feast in 1621 near plymouth, massachusetts, which is often referred to as the first thanksgiving. people show their sincere gratitude towards the god, the nature, the earth, the river, the indians and themselves. moreover the 1621 feast has become a model for the thanksgiving celebration in the united states. so we can see gratitude is an action to take.
how can we express our gratitude? it’s never a simple question to answer. gratitude is a rare jewel, not a piece of cake, i know. but how can we expect such big events happening now and then? how can we be ready to say thank you ahead of time? how can we always hope to be grateful to everything and everyone for their dignity and generosity? sometimes i may ask to myself. is it moral? is it honest? is it beneficial? is it necessary? or the most interesting one, is it ridiculous? ha-ha…so in my opinion, we’d better concentrate on our life’s details. keep your eyes open to your daily life. yes! a shining smile is supposed to be gratitude. a thank-you note is supposed to be gratitude. a soulful watch is supposed to be gratitude. as far as a baby’s crying on his arrival is supposed to be gratitude. and even fallen leaves in autumn are supposed to be gratitude. so the person, who stands here giving you a speech, is also showing his gratitude.
at last, what’s the significance of showing our gratitude? a proverb says that gratitude is the sign of noble souls. wow! until now i am not that kind of giant, but i dare to say that everyone, you and me, has the right and the duty to show our gratitude to the world, no matter rich or poor, happy or sad, young or old. only by doing so can we achieve our human ultimate concern. meanwhile it obviously helps to build up a harmonious society. under the same sky we enjoy the same sunshine and appreciate the same love due to thanking and caring each other. well, does it plato’s paradise?
all in all, a world full of gratitude is preciously expected for thousands of years. why not show our gratitude to people around you?
thank you very much!
