　　Improving Beijing's environment for the Olympics

　　Ladies and gentlemen: Good morning! Today, the title of my speech is Improving Beijing's environment for the Olympics. Have you ever seen animals cry? Do you know what makes them cry? It's the polluted world, a dirty world, caused by our irresponsible behaviors, that makes those lovely animals cry. Many of us are smart enough to know how terrible it is to have a world without animals and plants. But some people still persist in making the same errors and harming the environment.

　　What's worse is that people are eating wild animals. Those people don't know, and more importantly, they don't want to know. This kind of behavior has caused some specific problems. For example, medical experts have suggested that eating wild animals helped spread the terrible disease SARS. Now, our world is no longer clean and beautiful. Why? Because air, water, and noise pollution has become more and more serious. Noise pollution makes us talk more loudly and become angry more easily. Water pollution makes our rivers and lakes very dirty. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution. Both air pollution and water

　　pollution are not only dangerous to our health, but also dangerous to animals and plants. We're destroying our only world. A large number of trees have been cut down, so a lot of lands have been turned into deserts. Pollution can be seen everywhere! Unquestionably it is essential that we clean up our environment. Sadly, we've not always appreciated the importance of protecting the environment. On the streets, you can see cars producing smog. In the bathrooms, you can see students leaving the water tap on after using them. Not only the young people, but also the elderly ones throw

　　things everywhere without thinking it's wrong, even in a beautiful park. These things are taking place every day, even in modern cities like Beijing. We can't do that any more. We must learn how to protect the environment. If everyone is aware of protecting it instead of destroying it, the world can become cleaner, more beautiful, and more peaceful. The theme of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games is "New Peking, New Olympic". It's the target owned by every Chinese. We should try our best to improve Beijing's environment for Olympics.

　　, let's begin to act! First, start with the things around you. Don't throw rubbish onto the road. Don't talk loudly when you are outdoors. Turn off the water tap after using it. Go to school by bike or by bus instead of by private car. Save your pocket money and contribute to environmental protection organizations. Take me as an example, I take action in order to make our only world full of happiness. I pick up rubbish and throw it into a trashcan. I collect waste paper or bottles for recycling. I plant more trees and flowers, and so on. If you do all these things just like me, it means you have done something useful to improve the environment. We're grateful, because the emblem of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games is a precious treasure dedicated to the Olympic Movement by the people of China. Under the guidance of the Olympic spirit, let us do a better job in all fields of our preparation and venue construction work in an efficient way. We will combine the Olympic Movement with the latest technology and advanced culture to make the Beijing Games the best Olympic Games ever! Welcome to Beijing! Thank you.

　　你可曾見到過動物哭泣？你可曾知道它們?yōu)槭裁纯奁�？正是因為我們不負責任的行為，讓世界變得骯臟，讓這些可愛的動物們哭泣不止。我們清楚的知道，如果沒有了動物和植物，我們的世界將會變得多么死寂，多么灰暗但是有些人仍然固執(zhí)的犯著同樣的錯誤??破壞環(huán)境，執(zhí)迷不悟！

　　更糟糕的是，人們熱衷于品嘗野生動物。食用野生動物的人不知道，更不會想知道，正是這種行為導致了很多特殊問題的出現(xiàn)。例如：醫(yī)學家已經(jīng)證實，舉世矚目的SARS疾病，正是由于食用野生動物傳播的。

　　如今，我們的世界已經(jīng)不再整潔，不再美麗。為什么呢？ 因為空氣，水和噪聲等污染已經(jīng)變得越來越嚴重了。噪聲污染讓我們的脾氣變得極易暴躁；水污染讓河流和湖泊不再清澈，大氣污染讓天空變得不再蔚藍。環(huán)境污染，無處不在！

　　無疑，清潔我們的環(huán)境勢在必行。然而可悲的是，許多人不能時刻領(lǐng)悟到保護環(huán)境的重要性。在街道上，你可以目睹汽車尾氣四處彌漫；在洗手間，你可以目睹有人用后卻不及時關(guān)閉水龍頭；甚至是在環(huán)境優(yōu)美的公園，有人隨意的丟棄垃圾，但他們從來沒有意識到這種行為是錯的。

　　我們必須學會保護我們的環(huán)境。如果我們每個人都能伸出雙手，那么我們的世界將會變得更整潔，更美麗，更和平。2008年奧運會的主題是"新北京，新奧運"，這也正是我們每個人的目標。

　　為了讓我們的家園充滿歡笑，我們必須立刻行動！從我做起，從今做起，從身邊小事做起。如果你還在隨意丟棄廢棄物；如果你還在公共設(shè)施上隨意刻畫；如果你還在公共場所隨地吐痰，那么請你趕快改正！我們每個人都應(yīng)該為改善環(huán)境做出努力，讓我們的家園變得像春天一樣美麗！

　　2008年奧運會對我們來說，既是機遇，又是挑戰(zhàn)。我們衷心希望2008年的北京能夠，春風裁柳，碧如絲絳，紅日東升，光輝燦爛；夏雨過后，綠葉晶瑩，禾苗秀美，青松斜生；秋風習習，桂香飄飄，碧海藍天，秋水潺潺；冬梅傲骨，眾芳獨暄，白雪紛飛，覆壓枝頭。

　　讓我們沉醉于上蒼所給予的美景，流連忘返；讓我們迷戀于自然所散發(fā)的清香，沁人心脾。

　　讓我們以奧運為契機，呼喚環(huán)境意識，聚焦環(huán)境保護，弘揚綠色文明，分享綠色體驗！

　　讓我們攜手，共建美好家園！

　　綠色奧運，綠色北京，你我同行！
