英语演讲稿--Tomorrow will be better

 Tomorrow will be better

I was born in Beijing and live in Beijing, and I love Beijing very much. When I heard that Beijing will have a chance to hold the 2008 Olympic Games I feel very happy and excited, and I hope I can do something useful to build Beijing into a beautiful and energetic city.

In the twenty-first century, environment is becoming more and more important, so we have "GREen Olympic" as a slogan. Of course slogan is just a goal, the most important thing is we should do some things to make it true. Such as assort the trash, save the energy and so on. We are still students now, so we can't do anything really big. But if everybody does something good for our environment we could make Beijing more beautiful.

In fact the things we can do are easy. Like not littering the useless batteries everywhere, assort the trash which we want to throw away, and also protect the animals and plants around us, because they are important parts of the energetic Beijing.

Luckily I had a chance to take part in an activity that is we planted 5 trees in our campus¹. My classmates and I worked very hard. This activity doesn't only plant trees, but also contribute to our environment. Look at the trees, I believe, tomorrow there will be more trees and flowers standing² in Beijing and give Beijingers a beautiful environment.

We are all Chinese people, live on the earth. We have only one capital, just like we have only one earth. If we don't beautify our environment, who will? Good environment depends on good human consciousness³. We should say that protecting our surroundings⁴ is not easy. That's why I'm standing here to summon⁵ people do it.

the 2008 Olympics games is coming, this is a chance for us to show the good environment we have to other people. If we do from the bottom of our heart, Beijing's tomorrow will be more brilliant it will have blue skies, cleaner rivers. Who don't want Beijing to become more and more beautiful? If we do our best, tomorrow will be better!

Thanks

明天会更好

我是一个生在北京，长在北京的男孩。对这座城市有着深厚的感情。2001年北京申办2008奥运会成功，我感到无比的兴奋与喜悦并发自内心地希望可以为建设一个生态北京，办好一次绿色奥运尽自己的一份绵薄之力。

在经济飞速发展的21世纪，环境的好与坏逐渐成为了衡量一个城市优劣的重要标准。因此，我们有了绿色奥运的口号。当然了，口号是指导，最重要的还是要落实到行动当中。诸如垃圾分类，绿色能源，绿色发电等等等等，都是国家为打造生态北京、绿色奥运做出的不懈努力。当然，依旧是学生的我们或许无法做什么大事，但如果每一个人都有心去做一点，那么我们千千万万的北京学子们一定可以让北京美起来！

其实我们要做的也很简单：每当有用完的废电池不要乱扔，应集中交给回收站处理；每当有生活垃圾要扔掉的时候，应认真地进行垃圾分类，再扔进垃圾箱内；而且我们也应当学会保护身边的动植物，一花一草，一鸟一虫都是生态北京的一个重要组成部分。

非常幸运的我曾亲身参与过一次绿色活动。就在今年植树节前夕，我和全班同学一起在校园内种了五棵针叶松。那天风很大，同学们铲土的铲土，挑水的挑水丝毫不怠慢。我和组里的几个男生也运起力量将树苗放进挖好的坑里。十几分钟的时间树都栽好了。活动稍显短暂甚至有些仓促。但这不只是为给学校种几棵树。而是自己为了一方环境做出贡献，以自己的劳动给城市的绿色添上新的一笔。看着眼前的五棵树牵手，我坚信，明天必将有更多更高大的绿树矗立。这片绿色会从我们心底延伸出去，覆盖我们的北京城使它充满活力，生机勃勃。给绿色奥运一个美丽的环境，给我们北京的居民们一个美丽的环境。

亲身经历讲完了，最终的目的其实还是希望大家--每一位中学生都应该在心里树立一种主人公意识！我们都是中国人，生活在共同的神州大地上。首都只有一个，正如地球也只有一个，不去美化他们，还有谁值得我们为之付出？美好的自然环境是建立在优质的人文环境基础上的。每一个人主人翁意识的形成和综合素质的提高其实都是在为我们北京的环境打下基础，人文环境越来越好，自然环境必将随之好上加好！当环保不再只是纸上的两个字，不在只是一句空洞的口号时。是否每一个人都还有喊口号时的那份热情，真的愿意弯下腰拾起路边的垃圾，真的能握住手中的废纸坚持走道垃圾箱旁再放下，或是为自己身边的花花草草着想，不随意践踏了他们。我们不得不承认这不容易，这或许也是我之所以站在这里的原因，去说，去号召并以自己的光彩感染别人。

2008奥运将至，这是我们向世界展示环保成果的一次机会，也是对我们环保的一次考验。要如何去把这个绿色奥运办的名副其实，让全世界为之赞叹，需要我们每一个人的努力！只要我们用心去做了，北京的明天一定会更加美好，这里的天会更蓝，水会更清，处处闻啼鸟不会只是意境，群星拱月之美，也将不只是想象。这样的北京谁不想要！只要我们人人都付出了努力，北京的明天会更好！

谢谢。
