ladies and gentlemen:
I’m very honored to stand here and give you a short speech! my topic isOpportunities and Challenges.
First，I would like to know，what does your destiny offer you? Happiness，wisdom，a strong body or something else. If I had asked this question topresident Nixon，he would probably had said，”Our destiny offers not the cup ofdespair，but the chalice of opportunity.”
Needless to say，one of the biggest opportunities given to China is the 20__Olympic Games. Till now，we have used two sevenths of the preparation time. Howmuch changes have you seen? New roads，new subway lines，public-exercisingequipments with beautiful colors，large blocks of grass fields，and also lots ofmodern gyms which are under construction.
Other than those，there are even more good effects brought to us by theOlympic Games that cannot be seen directly. For example，more and more peoplewill get to know China.
I’m sure the mysterious Chinese culture will attractthem strongly. And the games will also do good to the economy and environment，for it is gaining the attention of foreign investors and the awareness ofenvironmental protection is being strengthened. What is more，Olympic Games givea unique opportunity to inspire and educate a new generation of Chinese youthwith the Olympic values and the Olympic spirit. Now that we have seen so manyadvances，could you even imagine us losing the holding rights?
I’ve already said a lot about the Olympics and China. But I think everyoneshould use some time to think of this question，”Does the Olympic Games have anyspecial meaning to you?”
For us，I mean the Chinese youth，20__ Olympic Games is a tremendous gift.Because what we are waiting for is to do something significant as repaying thelove given to us .The society is just like a ship，and in our dreams the captainis waving his hand and saying ”Hey! Come here and take the helm! ”How charminghis voice is，but we have never heard of it in our true life.
This morning，however，when we wake up，we will see the Olympic Games waving its hand. Afterchewing，most of us will have at least one plan about what to do for the OlympicGames. And mine is to be a “forter” ——that is someone who will give fort toothers.
At the end of my speech，I hope all the preparation will go well，andeveryone will show their ability to the world. Let us seize opportunities andgive a big smile to challenges.
