Dear teachers and friends:

Good morning! My name is Somiar, and my Chinese name is Lu Ziyan. I’m from the Second Experiment Primary School in Jinyun. I study in Class 3, Grade 5. I like my teachers and classmates. And I like my family, too. That is a lovely family. There are three members in my family---my father, my mother and me. My mother is a teacher, my father is a cook. They all love me, and I love them, too. You see, I’m a lovely, easy-going and kind girl. I like reading books, singing songs and playing computer games, and also I’m fond of speaking English with my English teacher, Miss Chen. Because I like English. Do you like English? Do you love me? I hope I can not only improve my English but also make more friends by the speech.

Today, I’d like to talk about my hometown---Lishui. I love my hometown. It’s a beautiful land in the southwest of Zhejiang. It’s famous for green mountain and clean water. It’s the first country pictured in China. There are many great places of interest in my hometown, such as Sendo, Nanming Mountain, East-west Rock and so on. Every years, many people come to visit Lishui and take some beautiful photos. And you can see the photos in some books. How beautiful! Have you been there? It’s a pity really, if you not.

Do you know Ou River? It’s a river of people’s life. It keeps running and running all the year round, just like a lively horse. There are many resources and special products in my hometown, like Qingtian stone carving, Longquan double-edged sword and Qingyuan mushroom. Do you know them? All of them are famous in the world. How cool! I love my hometown. It’s getting more and more beautiful now. One day, I think it will be the centre of shopping as well as traveling.

Would you like to visit my hometown? I hope to see you soon. “One world one dream.” Let’s have a great time in my hometown Lishui.

That’s all. Thank you!

我爱我的家乡I love My Hometown（二）

I was born in a small village with a hill behind it and many big areas of feilds in front. Most of the villagers live in tall buildings like the people in cities.In their home, they have telephones,TV sets,washing machines and so on.They can also use drinking water supplied by the water company in the village,but it costs them a little money every year.If they plant crops, the goverment will give them some money as encouragement.The more land they farm, the more money they will get.All around the year, they work on their farm land for only four or five months.In the rest time,they often work in the cities nearby for money.They needn’t worry about anything for living, such as food or clothes.

There is a tall teaching building with a computer room, a reading room, a meeting room,a lab and sixteen class-rooms in our school.Around it are big trees and behind the building is a wide playground for us to do sports on.All the teachers work carefully and teach us very well.

What is more,when we are ill or want to do some shopping and so on, everything is OK without leaving the village.

But in the past, it is said there were few people living in two houses made of wood,grass and mud.That is why it is still called Two Houses today.It is not hard to imagine what their life was like.

Now I feel that I am proud of my hometown.As a student,I must study hard to get more knowledge so that I can build my village better when I grow up.

我爱我的家乡I love My Hometown（三）

Everyone has his own hometown, so do I. Do you want to know my hometown? Let me tell you something about it.

I was born in Shicun Town. It lies in the north of Guangrao. It’s about 10 kilometers from Guangrao county. Although there are not high mountains or long rivers, there are friendly and hard-working people like my parents, there are my good friends that have played and studied with me since we were young children. So I still think it is the most beautiful and I love it very much.

Many years ago, people lived in low and small houses, they wore shabby clothes and ate simple food. They didn’t have computers or TV sets. I can’t imagine what they did for fun. They didn’t have cars, buses, motorbikes, even bikes. When they went out, they could only be on foot. In a word, their life was poor and simple. But now, great changes have taken place in my hometown. Thanks to the good policy of the Party, people are getting richer and richer. They build wide and

ight houses, they wear new and modern clothes. They can not only get enough food, but also delicious and healthy food. Now they have different kinds of digital tools for fun, such as mobile phones, TV sets and computers. They can use them to relax themselves after work. When they want to go to some places, they can go there by bike, bus, car, even train and plane. They can travel around our country to see beautiful scenery in any way. I am proud to say that my hometown is getting better and better!

Many years ago, there were few factories. The sky was blue, the river was clear and clean, and there were some different kinds of fishes, there were many green trees and beautiful flowers on both sides of the road. But with the development of the industry, the environment around us is getting worse and worse. Many trees are cut down to build more factories. The sky is not so blue as before, water in the rivers is getting dirtier and dirtier, fishes are fewer than before. Some factories even make the air terrible. It is bad for our health. I am sorry to say that the pollution in my hometown is getting bad. But luckily people have already realized that it is important to protect our environment. Many things have been done for that.

As a member of my hometown, it is our duty to build and protect our hometown, we should act quickly. We should call on people not to pour the dirty water into the river or make the air terrible. Everyone should care for our living environment. We should plant more trees and flowers to make our hometown more and more beautiful. As a student, I must study very hard to get more knowledge. When I grow up, I will try my best to build my hometown. I am sure my hometown will be better and better! Do you think so?

My speech is over. Thank you!
