Good morning, everyone，

I'm Li Hua from Xingguang Middle School.It's a great honor for me to stand here and give my speech.The topic of my speech is “Let's Ride Bicycles”．

With the improvement of people's living standards, cars have become a popular means of transport, bringing great convenience to our life.However, they have also caused some problems such as air pollution and traffic jams.

How can we solve these problems then? As far as I'm concerned, riding bicycles is a good solution.Bicycles are environmentally friendly because they won't give off waste gases.What's more, riding bicycles is a good way for us to exercise and it is beneficial to our health.

Therefore, let's ride bicycles.Come on and join us!

Thank you!

Boys and girls，

Living in a small town and living in a large city both present benefits of their location.                                                                       

【参考范文】

Boys and girls，

Living in a small town and living in a large city both present benefits of their location.However，I personally prefer to work in a small town after graduating from college.First，there is less pollution in a small town，and therefore I can breathe clean air and drink clean water.Secondly，compared with the noisy big cities，a small town can provide us with a quiet environment.Last but not least，with beautiful natural scenery，small towns are much more suitable to live in than urban centres.

From what has been mentioned above，we can safely draw a conclusion that living in a small town makes it possible for us to live a long and healthy life.Therefore，I call on young people to choose their jobs in a small town.
