ladies and gentlemen:
good morning!
today, my speech is "i am the part of the green olympics".
"green olympics" is one of the three themes of beijing 2008 olympic games. therefore the beijing government had made a great effort in order to protect the environment, build more "green project", keep the ecological balance, push the recycling economy, and protect the water resource. but if only the government take the action to realize the green olympics in 2008, it's not enough. as a beijing high school student, we should play an active role in the actions aimed at the realization of green olympics. so we should start it from ourselves, our family, our friends and other people around us. four years later, today, we can see 229 day blue sky in one year, we can hardly catch a glimpse of the sandstorm, groups of wild duck comes back to shishahai lake in the spring, and all the streets are dressed in green. all these make me deeply believe that beijing will surely succeed in 2008! and all these achievements are not only the result that made by the beijing government, but also by the 14 millions beijing citizens. as one of the 14 millions normal citizens, i am also adding my contribution to our green olympic!i still remember clearly that in the athens 2004 olympic games, when liu xiang stood up on the award platform, he was wearing a coronet, which made by olive branch. does this green olive branch stand for the "green olympic"? olive branch is the symbol of peace, and the olympic game is the carrier of the "peace". we should not just simply think, "no war is the meaning of peace". "nature and human beings living in harmony" is also the root meaning of "peace". "save the resource, protect the environment", this kind action of pursuing "nature and human beings living in harmony", is the way that shows the core of the olympian spirit. so we say, peace is the spirit of olympic, olympic is the carrier of peace, and "green olympic" means that we are standing in a higher platform to seek the peace.
so the "green olympic" should be started from every little things in our daily life, start form me, from the people that around me. express the spirit of olympic, publicize the theme of "green olympic", and let beijing really reaches the "green olympic" in 2008. this is the responsibility of anyone who loves peace. and it is also the responsibility of our beijing high school students!
thank you!
绿色奥运我参与
北京八十中学
--夏威夷
尊敬的各位评委们、女士们、先生们：
大家好！今天我演讲的题目是"绿色奥运我参与"。
绿色奥运是北京2008年奥运会的三大理念之一。为此北京市政府无论是在环境的治理、绿化的建设、生态的保护、循环经济和水资源的保护与利用，都做了大量的工作。但实现"绿色奥运"仅仅靠政府行为是远远不够的，作为北京的中学生更应该积极的投身到"绿色奥运"的建设与宣传当中去。从我做起，从我的家庭做起，从我身边的朋友、同学做起。 四年之后的今天，一年之中有了229天湛蓝的天空，那滚滚的黄尘也早已不见，那一群群久违的野鸭也在春天飞回了北京的什刹海，街道也被绿色装点的生机勃勃。这一切不知不觉的变化都在回答着我，北京一定能办好2008年的奥运！而所有这些变化不仅仅是北京市政府的努力，更是在政府领导下的无数北京市民们努力的结果。作为这一千多万普通北京市民的一员，我也在为我们的绿色奥运贡献出自己的一份力量。 我们清楚的记得在2004年的雅典奥运会上，当刘翔登上领奖台时，他头上戴了一个由橄榄枝编成的头环。这绿色的橄榄枝不正是代表着"绿色奥运"吗？橄榄枝象征着和平，而奥运正是传递"和平"的载体，我们不能简单的理解"没有战争就是和平"。"人与自然和谐相处"也是"和平"最本质的含义。"节约资源、保护环境"这种追求"人与自然和谐相处"的具体行为正是奥林匹克精神的具体体现。所以我们说：和平是奥运的灵魂，奥运是和平的载体，绿色奥运是我们从更高的境界在追求和平。当伟大的精神被"平凡"广泛的具体化以后，这种精神就被弘扬和光大了。
看来"绿色奥运"应该从点滴做起，从我做起，从我周边的人做起。弘扬奥林匹克精神，宣传绿色奥运理念，让2008北京奥运真正做到"绿色奥运"。这正是每一个爱好和平、追求和平人们的义不容辞的责任。也是我们北京中学生的一种思想境界和追求。
我的演讲结束，谢谢大家！
