Good morning, ladies and gentlemen,
Happy New Year! It is my great honor to stand here and deliver this speech on the occasion of New Year's Day.
As we bid farewell to the old year and embrace the new one, it is a perfect time for reflection and anticipation. Looking back at the past year, we may have encountered challenges, faced difficulties, and experienced both ups and downs. However, it is important to remember that every challenge is an opportunity for growth and every setback is a lesson for success.
The New Year is a time for new beginnings, a time to set goals, make resolutions, and embark on new adventures. It is a time to turn the page and start afresh. Whether it is pursuing a new career, adopting a healthier lifestyle, or strengthening relationships with loved ones, let us embrace this opportunity to strive for personal growth and create a better version of ourselves.
Furthermore, New Year's Day is not only a time for personal reflection but also a time for unity and celebration. It is a time to gather with family and friends, to share laughter and joy, and to express gratitude for the love and support we have received throughout the year. Let us cherish these precious moments and strengthen the bonds that hold us together.
In addition, the New Year is also a time to embrace diversity and promote understanding among different cultures. As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, it is essential that we foster a spirit of inclusivity and respect for one another. Let us celebrate our differences and embrace the unique contributions each individual brings to our global community.
As we step into the new year, let us remember the importance of kindness, compassion, and empathy. Let us strive to make a positive difference in the lives of others and contribute to building a more harmonious and peaceful world.
In conclusion, New Year's Day is a time for reflection, anticipation, unity, and celebration. It is a time to set goals, make resolutions, and embrace new beginnings. It is a time to cherish our loved ones, embrace diversity, and promote understanding. Let us make the most of this opportunity and make the year ahead a remarkable one.

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 see from the formation of this word, “Christ-mas.” The first part of the word refers to Jesus Christ, and the second 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 observe this festival for its religious reason, for most people, including Chinese people, Christmas has already become a day of secular 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 Chinese people.
Christmas day is on the 25th of December, and Christmas Eve is of course 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 house, and hang many decorations on the tree. Under the tree, they usually place many Christmas presents. Giving out presents and receiving presents 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 presents.
As to the tradition of giving and receiving presents 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 presents. I think this is a beautiful story. It shows a spirit of sharing and love.
I like Christmas for the presents kids will receive and for its lovely story.
Thank you very much!

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 several 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 because 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 close 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 course 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 prizes.They 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 Chinese people and is when all family members get together, just like C
hristmas in the West.
Waking up on New Year, everybody dresses 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 Chinese people pay more attention to be polite,while it is different from other countries .And chinese culture is brilliant and they know how to use a brush to write
Now dragon is the symbol of the whole Chinese people.
Dragon is a animal worshipped by the Chinese 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 those 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.
