范文
We have only one earth
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Good afternoon. It is my honor to stand here and give my speech. My speech is We Have 0nly One Earth.
As is known to us all, we live on the beautiful earth on which we can breathe fresh
air, see the fantastic landscapes, and enjoy ourselves.
However, to some degree, we human beings take these wonderful things for granted. We do everything that is good for us but bad for environment. For example, a large amount of people establish many companies which produce harmful gases. These people only focus on making money, even if our earth is in bad conditions.
We have only one earth. Without earth we can not live on. Therefore, we can come to a conclusion that we are supposed to protect our environment and it’s our duty to call on people to save our earth mother. I hope that we can have a better earth to live on.
Thanks for your listening!。
