孝丰小学     夏天

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Xia Tian. Today my topic is “The change of mother river.”

There is a big river in my hometown. It’s our Mother river. When I was young, how eagerly I wanted to swim in the river. But I never swam there before because it had been polluted. 

One day after school, I was walking across the bridge. I saw many people with baskets, fishing nets or bags standing by the riverbanks. What’s happening? I ran to the riverbank .To my surprise, there were so many fish in the river . They were breathing quickly from the surface of the water. Some people were throwing their fishing nets onto the river. In a minute , the baskets, fishing nets and bags were full of fish. I asked one man why there were so many fish. He told me that the factories were pouring waste water into the river. There was no fresh air in the water. So they had to come to the surface to breathe!

Looking at these poor fish, I seemed to hear them crying for help. But I could do nothing ! My eyes were full of tears. I ran away quickly. I felt our Mother river was crying!

To my great happy, with the help of the government , the factories  haven’t poured waste water into the river any more. The river is cleaner and cleaner. More and more fish come back. On summer evening , the river is full of people .They are playing or swimming happily! Of course, one of them is me. The river is covered by laughing! Mother river looks younger and younger!

Ladies and Gentlemen, March the twenty-fifth is the ECO Day of Anji. Let’s unite together, hand in hand ,to make Anji more and more beautiful!  

That’s all.  Thank you!
