Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, I’m very glad to make a speech here. Today my topic is “I love you, China.”
Since the day I was born, I began to have a proud name—Chinese. Since the day I began to talk, the most beautiful sentence I’ve ever learnt has been “I love you, China!”
I love you, China, and I’m so proud of being a Chinese. I’m proud that I’ve got the beautiful yellow skin, black eyes and black hair. I’m also proud that I speak the most beautiful language in the world—Chinese.
I love you, China, for I can feel the deep love you give me every day, every minute. Last year, I got an opportunity to visit the United States of America. During my staying there, my father’s boss once invited my family to dinner. While at table, he looked at me and asked: “Little boy, how long have you been in America?” “About a month,” I answered, “How lucky you are!” he said, “If you were living in China, how could you learn such perfect English?” I smiled and told him proudly that all the students in China are able to learn English at school. I saw his surprised eyes and said to myself, “I’m proud of you, China. For you are offering us the best education.”
When I came back from the USA, my friends asked me: “How do you feel about your staying there?” “Wonderful” I said. “Then why do you come back?” Hearing this, I told them there were lots of beautiful countries in the world, but none of them can compare with our own country—China. How true the saying is: “There’s no place like home!”
I love you, China. As a young student, all we should do is to study hard and devote ourselves whole-heartedly in the future, to the great cause of building you into an even stronger and greater country in the world. I love you, my dear motherland! I love you, China!
Thank you for your listening !
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls,
I am Chinese. I am proud of being a Chinese with five thousand years of civilization behind. I've learned about the four great inventions made by our forefathers. I've learned about the Great Wall and the Yangtze River. I've learned about Zhang Heng(张衡)and I've learned about Zheng He(郑和).Who says the Yellow River Civilization has vanished(消失)?I know that my ancestors have made miracles(奇迹)on this fertile land and we're still making miracles. Who can ignore the fact that we have established ourselves as a great state in the world, that we have devised our own nuclear weapons, that we have successfully sent our satellites into space, and that our GNP ranks No. 7 in the world? We have experienced the plunders (掠夺) by other nations, and we have experienced the war. Yet, based on such ruins, there still stands our nation----China, unyielding and unconquerable!
I once came across an American tourist. She said, “China has a history of five thousand years, but the US only has a history of 200 years. Five thousand years ago, China took the lead in the world, and now it is the US that is leading.”My heart was deeply touched by these words. It is true that we're still a developing nation, but it doesn't mean that we can despise (鄙视) ourselves. We have such a long-standing history, we have such abundant resources, we have such intelligent and diligent people, and we have enough to be proud of. We have reasons to say proudly： we are sure to take the lead in the world in the future again, for our problems are big, but our ambition (雄心) is even bigger, our challenges (挑战) are great, but our will is even greater.
I am Chinese. I have inherited (继承) black hair and black eyes. I have inherited the virtues of my ancestors. I have also taken over responsibility. I am sure, that wherever I go, whatever I do, I shall never forget that I am Chinese!
Although, you are my adversary. But, you are not my enemy, you will give me strength, your resistance to make me strong, your spirit ennobles me... Thank you, my rival! Because of you, only then has taught me to cherish! Because of you, makes me beyond yourself!

You are "top players" in study. Because of you, I desire to burst out for the first. So I work harder, more hard work. Though, I can't decide the outcome of the last, but my grades have been beyond my imagination, to my satisfaction. Thank you, my opponent! Because of you, make me to answer out of a satisfactory answer!
Are you a left arrow on the playground. Is because of you, I'm ready to move to the "beyond". So I didn't come through, I will try my best to fight for every step. Although, I finally is not the first, but I have got and I hadn't thought of. Thank you, my opponent! It was because of you that makes me beyond yourself!
You and I have the same dream. In the talent market, I met you. After fierce competition, I got the job I want, and you, only to regret left here. Although I hadn't met you, But I am full of gratitude to you! Because of you, I will cherish this hard-won work!

这就是奥林匹克精神，是真正的竞争的诠释。竞技场上的角逐、生活中你的价值都需要对手的存在才有意义，才能得以实现。没有了对手，生活将变得乏味无趣;没有了对手，成功将失去本应有的成就感。
你是学习方面的“顶尖选手”。正因为有了你，我才迸发出去争取第一的渴望。因此我更加努力，更加刻苦。虽然，我没能做好决定胜负的最后一搏，但我的成绩已经超乎我的想象，令我满意十分。谢谢你，我的对手!因为有了你，才使我答出了一份满意的答卷!
你是运动场上的一支离弦的箭。正因为有了你，我才对“超越”虎视耽耽。因此我才放手一搏，尽我所能去争取每一步。虽然，我最终不是第一，但我已得到了我不曾想过的骄人战绩。谢谢你，我的对手!因为有了你，才使我超越了自己!
你和我有着同一个梦想。在人才市场里，你我相遇。激烈的竞争后我得到了我想要的工作，而你，却抱憾离开了这里。虽然，你我不曾相识;但我对你满怀谢意!正因为有了你，我将更加珍惜这份来之不易的工作!
