Question

Dear boys and girls,

   I'm very happy to be your guest speaker today. I have been a reporter in the past fifteen years. I chose this job so I could travel around the world,but the work is sometimes difficult. I have seen wars,earthquakes,poverty (貧窮) and death. But I have also seen courage,hope and happiness.

   In India,I visited a city where there were many homeless children. A wonderful lady called Rosa opened a home for them. In a year,she was looking after two hundred children,feeding them,teaching them and giving them hope.

    Another time,I was in Japan after the terrible earthquake. In a place,an old lady's son was missing and people around her said that there was no chance that her son was alive. But the lady did not give up hope. For four days,she kept moving heavy stones by herself until she found her son still alive.

    Here in China,I met a young boy with a serious illness. He had to have twenty operations (手術(shù)) in hospital. But when I met him,he was still smiling.

Now when my life is difficult,I always remember the courage of the three people.
