peace 和平-英语演讲稿

Peace – something we cannot

afford to lose

When we were kids, we used to have a dream. In our dream, the sky is blue, the sun is bright, the field is green; in our dream, children from all over the world are singing together; in our dream, you’ll feel there’s no hurt or sorrow. It is peace that we cherished so much when we were young, and I still believe it is peace that we cannot afford to lose.

However, when we grow up and look around the real world with our own eyes carefully, we find that the dream was only a dream. In Africa, we saw conflicts; in Iraqi and Libyan, we noticed the casualties; in a lot of other countries, we found turbulence and turmoil. Where are the doves and green branches? Where are the happy children and affluent people? And how can we believe the world peace exactly exists under the same sky? We never want to see the soldiers unwillingly leaving their wife and mom, crying. We never want to see the homeless children seeking a bit of dry ground to sleep on for the cold night under a low bridge. We never want to see our country consume a great deal of money to make preparations for wars. There is no doubt that we need a peaceful world, without wars, without death. Not because of the peace itself, but actually for its intended purpose.

It is obviously every single human being is too small to stop the wars and advocate the peace even though he firmly wants to. But human

beings are never alone. With you and me and everyone else, we can achieve this goal. I believe that everyone feels like having a wonderful breakfast with family instead of preparing for fighting against the enemy.

I believe everyone feels like having a trip somewhere else and enjoy beautiful scenery instead of facing bloody bodies and damaged buildings.

I believe everyone feels like sitting in a bright classroom or office to study or to work instead of constructing new buildings on the ruined ones. So, in order to secure our dreams and make them come true, we must understand that peace is something we cannot afford to lose.

I firmly believe that:

We can create a world with no fear;

We can see the nations turn their swords into plowshares;

We can heal the world and make it a better place, as long as we have PEACE!
