Good morning, judges, Ladies and gentlemen！ My name is Kelly and I’m pleased to welcome you all to my school, Anji Foreign Language School. My topic is: A message from Mother Nature. 

My dear children,

All of a sudden, have you realized the danger Mother Nature is facing? See your animals fade away like the night at dawn. Watch the leopard’s fur used for shows. See the king of the forest, the strong lion run for cover at the noise of the hunter’s gun. Watch the wicked killers grow greedy and rich, they are more of enemies than friends and the animals die poor and sad. The forests are no more. The air and water are all polluted. What’s being done, nothing? Now the earth is shrinking, the sea is advancing; few years ago there was tsunami and earthquakes, the world is now weeping because I,Mother Nature. I’m getting back at mankind.

Ladies and Gentlemen: l bring you this message from Mother Nature because I’m lucky to be living in Anji, an environment that is nature friendly. Look, what a nice county Anji is! It is one of the most wonderful and beautiful places in China. Anji is the hometown of Bamboos, the hometown of White tea; there are “green bamboo seas”, hills covered with neat rows of white tea, spring water and fresh cool air. Anji is A China ecological film shooting base, A National ecological demonstration zone. Anji County won a Living Environment award, and is the garden city of Zhejiang province. The list is unending.

In most cities, environmental damage is a serious problem at present, People breath polluted air, and drink polluted water as well as eat polluted food everyday. People are dying from illnesses caused by pollution, which is a challenge posed to the human race. If we want to live a better life and have a bright future, we must do our best to protect nature. We have a mission, you and l and all present here, to work harder for the things in which we believe. As in the song of Michael Jackson: heal the world, make it a better place for you and for me and the entire human race. 

Are you ready to take action to heal our world, save the birds, fishes and animals in the water bodies and in the forests, stop cutting trees, stop the pollution now and use water and energy wisely. For as the saying goes, “it’s better late than never.” We can’t stand Mother Nature’s anger any longer.

There’s no time to think anymore, the earth is our only home, to save nature is to save ourselves. Let’s protect our green hometown .Let’s heal the world. It’s our duty. l believe we can do it. Thank you for listening. My best wishes to you all
