　　Anne Holland’s speech

　　Dear Students

　　I’m very happy to be your guest speaker today．It is a great pleasure to visit your school and to meet all of you．

　　I would like to tell you about myself．I have been a news 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．The work is sometimes difficult．I have seen famines(饥荒), wars, earthquakes(地震), poverty and death．But I have also seen courage, hope and happiness．

　　In India, I visited a city where there were many homeless children．Some were as

　　young as four years old．They lived by begging(乞讨)or stealing．But then a wonderful lady called Rosa opened a home for them．Within one year, she was looking after two hundred children．She clothed them, fed them and taught them．She gave them hope．

　　Another time, I was in Turkey after a terrible earthquake．In one place, I found an old lady whose house was in ruins(成为废墟)．Her son was missing and rescue workers said there was no chance that he was still alive．But the old lady did not give up hope．For four days, she moved heavy stones one at a time by herself．She did not stop until she found her son．He was alive．

　　Here in China, I met a young boy with a serious medical condition．He had undergone twenty operations and spent nearly his whole life in hospital．I thought he would be sad, but when I met him, his smile was so warm and welcoming．

　　In life, we need role models that we can admire(崇拜)and learn from．When my life is difficult, I try to remember the courage and goodness of these three people．
