Goodmorning/afternoon,everybody!A famous American poet says , "Life is short, study is long." Everyone should work hard and study well. Never waste any time. Now we are young, we have so many things to do. Youth time is like a happy bird. If it flew away, it would never return. Nothing is more important than time.
Today some students spend too much time enjoying their lives such as eating, clothing, traveling and so on. Others spend too much time reading some useless books. A lot of time has been wasted. They have no idea that waste of time means wasting of one’s life.
While we are young and full of energy, let’s study hard.
My speech is over ! Thank you.
大家早上/下午好。美国一位著名的诗人说，"生命不息，学习不止。"每个人都应该努力工作，好好学习。不要浪费时间。现在我们正年轻，我们还有很多事情可以去做。青春是像一只快乐的小鸟。如果它飞走了，它就再也不会回来。没有什么比时间更珍贵。
今天，一些学生花太多的'时间享受他们的生活，如饮食，服装，旅游等。而一些人读了很多没用的书。已经浪费了很多时间。他们不知道浪费时间就是浪费自己的生命。
我们年轻，充满活力，让我们努力学习。我的演讲到此结束！谢谢！
