Dear students,
I'm very happy to be your guest speaker today. It's a great pleasure to visit your school and meet all
of you here.
I would like to tell you about myself. I have been a reporter for the past fifteen years. I chose this job so
I could travel the world, but the job has taught me many unforgettable lessons. This work is sometimes
difficult. I have seen wars, earthquakes, poverty and death. But I have also seen courage, hope and happiness.
In India, I visited a city, There were many homeless children in it. Some were young and lived in the streets. But then a kind lady called Rosa opened a home for them. In one whole year, she was looking after two
hundred children, feeding them, teaching them and giving them hope.
Another time, I was in Japan after a terrible earthquake. In a place, I found an old lady. Her house fell
down. Her son could hardly be alive., But the lady didn't give up hope. For four days, she moved heavy
stones by herself. She didn't stop until she found her son. He was still alive.
Here in China, I met a young boy with a serious illness. He had to have twenty operations in hospital.
But when I met him, he was still smiling.
