祖国，我的母亲

亲爱的老师，同学们，你们好！今天我演讲的题目是《祖国就是我的母亲》。

Dear teachers and students, Hello! The title of my speech today is "motherland is my mother".

“刘祎，回老家看看吧？”两年前的暑假中，爸爸再一次问我。我还是那句老话：“不，要回你自己回！”这时，勾起了我以前回家乡看奶奶的情景：我们睡在底矮的茅屋里，没有蚊帐，晚上蚊叮虫咬，害得我整宿整宿睡不着觉；门前是一堆堆的牛粪，又臭又脏，泥泞的路到处是水潭子，如果不小心踩到水潭子，整个脚就陷下去，好不容易把脚抽出来，可鞋子却留在泥潭里……爸爸好像看出了我的心思，对我说：“现在回家乡看看，看看你还认得奶奶的村庄、奶奶的屋吗？。”我暗暗地想：这是真的吗？于是我就跟着爸爸坐着汽车回家乡了。

"Liu Yi, go back to my hometown and have a look?" In the summer vacation two years ago, my father asked me again. I'm still the old saying: "no, go back to yourself!" At this time, I recalled the scene that I used to go back to my hometown to see Grandma: we slept in a low thatched hut without mosquito nets, and at night I was unable to sleep all night because of the mosquito bites; in front of the door was a pile of cow dung, which was smelly and dirty, and the muddy road was full of puddles. If I stepped on the puddles carelessly, the whole foot would sink, and I could not easily draw my feet out, but the shoes were left in the mud Tan Li... Dad seemed to see my mind and said to me, "now go back to my hometown and have a look. Do you still recognize grandma's village and grandma's house?" I thought to myself: is this true? So I went home with my father by car.

来到了罗山彭新乡下，啊！真美！难道这是我的眼睛花了？我揉了揉眼睛，没有呀？本来以前那坑坑洼洼、崎岖不平的小路，现在已变成一条平平坦坦的柏油路，路两旁种满了花草树木，蜜蜂在唱歌，蝴蝶在跳舞，这几年村里的楼房就像雨后的春笋般一排排地拔地而起。我和爸爸来到奶奶家，哇，两层的楼房，墙壁刷得雪白雪白的，如同粉装玉砌。家具也崭新的，刻着龙凤图案。房子很大很大，他们再也不用灶头煮饭了，都换成沼气炉，方便快捷……和奶奶住在一起的叔叔带我走进一个房间，掀开桌上的一块花布，呀，这正是我再熟悉不过的东西——电脑。叔叔熟练地操纵着电脑，犹如在弹钢琴一般。我想不到家乡人的素质提高得那么快！家乡人也在展望未来，放眼世界。吃过午饭，我悠闲地在村边散步，看见远处那些农民不再用牛拉犁耕地，而是用各式各样的拖拉机犁地。

Come to Pengxin countryside of Luoshan, ah! Beautiful! Is this my eye flower? I rubbed my eyes, didn't I? In the past, the pothole and rugged path has become a flat asphalt road, with flowers and trees planted on both sides, bees singing and butterflies dancing. In recent years, the buildings in the village have sprung up in rows like mushrooms. My father and I came to grandma's house. Wow, the two-story building with white walls is like a jade building with powder. The furniture is also brand-new, with dragon and phoenix patterns. The house is very big. They don't need the stove to cook any more. They all change it into a biogas stove. It's convenient and fast My uncle, who lives with my grandmother, took me into a room and opened a piece of cloth on the table. Ah, this is the most familiar thing I know - the computer. My uncle manipulated the computer skillfully as if he were playing the piano. I can't think that the quality of the people in my hometown has been improved so fast! Hometown people are also looking forward to the future and the world. After lunch, I took a leisurely walk around the village and saw the farmers in the distance no longer plowing with cattle, but with various tractors.

家乡的人变了，地变了，交通也方便了，楼房、电话、手机、电脑，城里人有的，他们也都有了。是什么魔力带来了这么巨大的变化呢？我百思不得其解，回家，我问奶奶，奶奶笑着说：“还是党的政策好，村村通公路这个目标实现了，农业税免交了，学生上学不交费了，人人都有医疗养老保险了，你说我们还羡慕城里人的生活吗”。我恍然大悟，原来这都是祖国的功劳哇！

The people in my hometown have changed, the land has changed, and the transportation has become convenient. There are buildings, telephones, mobile phones, computers in the city, and they all have them. What magic has brought such a huge change? I couldn't think about it. When I went home, I asked my grandmother. She said with a smile, "it's still the party's policy. The goal of connecting villages and roads has been achieved. The agricultural tax has been exempted. Students don't pay for school. Everyone has medical endowment insurance. Do you think we admire the life of the people in the city?". It dawned on me that it was all the credit of our country!

同学们，你能不为我家乡的变化感到惊叹吗？你能不为我们祖国的伟大而感动吗？面对此情此景，我不禁想高声喊：“祖国，我们的母亲，我们永远爱您！”

Students, can you not marvel at the changes in my hometown? Can you not be moved by the greatness of our motherland? In the face of this situation, I can not help but want to shout: "motherland, our mother, we love you forever!"

我的演讲完了，谢谢大家！
