Dear boys and girls,
I'm very happy to be your guest speaker today. It is a great pleasure to visit your school and meet all of
you here. I would like to tell you all by myself. I have been a reporter for the past fifteen years. I chose this
job so I could travel the world, but the job has taught me many unforgettable lessons. The work is sometimes
difficult. I have seen wars, earthquakes, poverty (贫穷) and death. But I have also seen courage, hope and
happiness.
In India, I visited a city where there were many homeless children. Some were very young and lived in
the streets. But then a wonderful lady called Rosa opened a home for them. In a year, she was looking
after two hundred children, feeding them, teaching them and giving them hope.
Another time, I was in Japan after a terrible earthquake. In a place, I found an old lady whose house
fell down. Her son was missing and people around her said that there was no chance that her son was alive.
But the lady did not give up hope. For four days, she kept moving heavy stones by herself. She did not stop
until she found her son. He was still alive.
Here in China, I met a young boy with a serious illness. He had to have twenty operations in hospital.
But when I met him, he was still smiling. Now when my life is difficult, I always remember the courage
of the three people.
