Creating a brilliant Beijing: Time for Action
Ladies and Gentlemen:
My topic is on creating a brilliant Beijing: Time for Action
～ is such a common number， but many Chinese will get excited when they mention it. How can a common number attract such a strange fascination? The answer is simple and obvious: the twenty-ninth Olympic Game will be held in Beijing in the year ～. At that time， the whole world will focus their attentions on Beijing. As the hostess， Beijing will show her beauty to the guests from all over the world.
The Beijing Olympic Games will be a Green Olympic， a high technology Olympic， and a peoples Olympic. Among them， a Green Olympic is the most important concept. It will show the world the determination， the ability， and the confidence of the Chinese people and their government to successfully hold a Green Olympic. To achieve such a goal， however， it needs a lot of hard work.
As middle school students in Beijing， we should take on more responsibilities for our capital citys environment. Any action we take will affect the appearance of the city. Therefore， we should start with ourselves， act now， and make every possible effort. But how? You may ask.
There are a lot of things we can do in our daily lives. We all know the fact that
Beijing is frequently assaulted by sand storms every year. Forests and lands have been degraded by agricultural and industrial activities. To revive those desert lands i -
s beyond our ability， but we can plant trees around our schools or in our neighborhood communities. If everybody does so， there will be a green Beijing and we will have a Green Olympic.
I dont know whether youve noticed that some students dont want to walk to school; their parents have to drive them to school every day. But nowadays， the air is polluted with automobile exhausts. What can we do about it? Ride on your bike to school and enjoy exercise! It will not only have significant benefits for your health， but also help improving our environment. In addition， if you dont drive cars， you will not go to the car wash. That will save large amount of water. If everybody does something， there will be a green Beijing and we will have a Green Olympic.
Think it over， my friends. The things we can do are definitely not unrealistic. Although we cannot provide with a clean energy source， achieve a better sewage treatment system， or stop any industry from using hazardous chemicals and releasing hazardous wastes， we can save every drop of water and protect every patch of green. Make Beijing a more beautiful city， where green patches are everywhere and blue sky can be seen clearly above our heads.
A Green Beijing Olympic is asking for action. Act now.
Thank you!
