尊敬的老师们，亲爱的同学们：
大家好！
曾翻过一本泛黄的相册，我拿起一张照片问母亲：“照片中那个人是谁？”母亲用她那粗糙的手轻轻地抚摸着我的头，淡淡地说：“那是你的父亲，这是他年轻时的照片。”是的，照片中的父亲风华正茂、意气风发、一派青春的气息。可现在的父亲，当年荣华已褪去，是什么让你面容开始焦脆、未老先衰？
思绪让我一下回到了小时候。是的，在小时候，我有着与别人不一样的童年。因为哮喘，在我两三岁时找上了门，那时的我，隔三差五就往医院跑，更甚是经常半夜三更，父亲背着我上医院。在医院，做哮喘雾化时，口鼻上要罩着罩子，很不舒服。不肯听话的我，一直大哭，惹得护士直皱眉，父亲一边忙着给护士解释，一边哄我。望着父亲疲惫的神情与额头上的汗水，我懵懂不知。
长大了，每次放学回家，远远的见父亲在楼下等我，看着父亲消瘦的面容和瘦弱的身躯，我不知该说什么。有一次，我问坐在身旁的父亲：“是什么力量让你显得这般的衰老？”父亲吹了吹热气腾腾的茶，抿了一口，缓缓地说道：“是时间的力量。”我若有所思。
现在的我，每天晚上在台灯下做作业，父亲都一直无怨无悔地陪着，不时哼着他喜爱的老歌《十送红军》。不经意间，我问父亲：“是什么力量让老百姓那样支持红军，对红军依依不舍？”父亲意味深长地说“是鱼水之情的亲情力量、是希望的力量。”那一刻，我似乎懂得了什么。
亲情，这世间最美好的东西，我虽无法用华丽的辞藻来诉说，但我还是要说：“父亲，你辛苦了。”时间、爱、对儿女的希望印证了你们曾经的岁月，也会照耀我光辉的一生！
How disappointed her keen listeners were when they learned this! It is the singer herself who spoiled her beautiful image in the eyes of others.
Now, I'm coming to another true story. It's about a poor, ordinary looking old woman. She was a widow without any children, living barely from hand to mouth by picking odds and ends from rubbish heaps. However,she took in more than ten homeless orphans successively and managed to bring them up. Every day she labored from morning till night. In order to earn as much money as possible to raise the children and to keep them in school,she even went to a hospital regularly to sell her blood. She got so weak for the loss of blood that she sometimes fell in a faint on her way home.
When asked why she chose to burden herself with so many children,she smiled and simply answered,“Oh,I love children and I like to have their company. ”
Though the old woman was poor materially, she was full of affection and rich in spirit. She was loved dearly by her children. She was also highly appreciated by the local government, and truly respected by people in her community.
Maybe you can't help wondering, “What makes that ordinary woman so extraordinary?” It is nothing else but her inner beauty, her true devotion of love without any thought of rewarding. What a sharp contrast there is between the great woman and the selfish singer.
So,to answer the question “What is real beauty?”,I declare definitely,it is the beauty lying in one's heart of hearts and embodied in his actions and deeds,that is,the inner heauty!
敬爱的老师，亲爱的同学们：
大家好！
感恩是人最朴实、最真诚的一种情感，也是一种高尚的价值观和人生观的体现。我们就应学会感恩，去感谢那些为社会做出贡献的人们，给他人一份温暖，给他人一份快乐。能够给别人带来快乐的人，同样也是很伟大的，大家就会更加喜欢你，尊重你。给别人带来痛苦的人，是遭人唾弃和厌恶的，没人会愿意接近他，跟他做朋友。
有同学会问：“那我们该如何感恩别人呢？”其实很简单。比如，你去面包房买早餐，对卖早餐的叔叔阿姨说一声谢谢，一个温柔的微笑，就能给别人带来快乐与成就感，从而感恩别人。再比如，走在路上、吃着零食的时候，把包装袋随手扔进垃圾桶，就是对清洁工们的一种感恩。这是很容易做到的小事，却能给别人带来快乐，是一件多么有好处的事情！
同学们，感谢别人，从小事做起。让我们一齐行动起来吧！
谢谢。
