Good morning:

　　Honorable judges， dear teachers and close friends。 I’m very glad to stand here to share my speech with you。 Today I’m going to talk about Love and Take care of Nature。

　　Mother Nature is an exquisite and complex life-system。 It's charm appears in the trees， stream， soil， insects， moss and fungus， all the things on the earth in different shapes， which are interdependent。 When you get close to nature， please remember， each tree， stone and species of animals here has lived harmoniously for hundreds， thousands or even millions of years。 When we pass away， they will continue to live。 They are the real masters， while we are just the passer-by。 However， the conduct we unconsciously do， such as picking， lumbering， tramping and abusing can probably destroy the balance of their life。 Therefore， we must reduce our bad influence as much as possible。 While you are enjoying the nature， do not forget please， the beauty of the lives also needs to be concerned with and to be protected。

　　Each life on the earth has a long and touching evolutionary story。 From the origin， the lives of the human being are equal to those of others; they both are the composing parts of Mother Nature。 Nevertheless， for some inexplicable reasons， the human becomes the spirits of all creatures。 Of course， it is the result of the evolution， but still we should be grateful to all our companions in nature for the opportunity they offer。

　　In spite of this， humans cannot live without earth。 They live on the earth， drink the sweet water， and enjoy the sunshine， the air， the sky， the fruit; the grains utilize the energy and so on。 In a word， the human being cannot live without nature， and Mother Nature makes us grow stronger。

　　I do not like the word "Pet"， but preferring the word "Animal" instead。 I have been loving animal since I was just a little boy。 When thinking of the "Pet Fashion"， I always feel much annoyed。 For the animals will be given a shackle and lose their liberty if they become someone's pets。 Their natural attribution can be deprived， too。

　　Up to now， relying on their scientific power， the human have opened up too much and over developed nature， in order to fill up their growing appetites of wealth。 They destroy the balance of nature， however， they don't realize， their own development and existence will be threatened。 Therefore， our sights should be focused on nature and we should try to develop the concept of "keeping human and nature in unity"。

　　We should lay emphasis on our education with consider cultural and natural emotion。 To use the vivid example to wake up the conscience in people's hearts。

　　To love nature is to love our mankind。 As the new generation who enter the new century， we should make efforts to love and respect nature， to treat it well and protect it。 Only in this way can we have a beautiful nature to enjoy it!

　　Thank you。
