Ⅳ. 【参考范文】
Ladies and gentlemen, good morning!
What we are going to talk about today is really meaningful, since some people have raised doubt about learning from Comrade Lei Feng.
Should we still need to learn from him?The answer is surely yes. Our society calls for the spirit of Lei Feng. “To live is to serve the people”perfectly explains the real meaning of the long-lasting spirit. Nowadays, with volunteering spirit spreading throughout the world, we students can make use of our spare time to do some voluntary work for those in need and show great concern to people around us. All we need to do is help others whole-heartedly.
We teenagers need to be people who promote the long-lasting spirit. So it is high time that we developed the sense of social responsibility and studied hard so that we can live up to our country’s expectations. I’m sure everybody can make a difference. Only in this way can we build a more harmonious society. The world needs love and care. Let’s do as Lei Feng did.
Thank you for listening!
