This is an essay entitled “Love” by a Chinese High School student from Xi’An. I took a photo of the essay (posted on a wall inside of the school) but the photo was not very clear, so I have copied & typed the essay here for you to be able to read. Keep in mind that this is the High School student’s second language, and it was written for an English public speaking contest. With respect to the writer, I have done my best to copy word-for-word and not correct or change anything unless I felt it was necessary for clarification.
Good afternoon, everyone! It is a great honor to speak here and today my topic is about the warmest emotion in the world-love.
Love is intimate and immortal. Everyone has love, everyone will grow up under the care of love.
From a child, parents and teachers tell us to care about others. If you pay attention to others, they’ll do the same to you Because love is the connect link between people. The world will become better if we spread love to every corner of the world.
I remember the lyrics of one song saying that “love is a beam of light, gleaming but so wonderful.” Yes, love is a kind of polished sunshine, it can lighten people’s future and make us march fearless onward, just like a lighthouse. Thinking that as one is in need of care but no one pay attention to him, how painful and grieved he feels! Although you possess great wealth you don’t want to share your love, share your happiness, so what’s the meaning of your life? Giving a hand to others is gladsome. The world needs “love”, love make people no longer feel cold. Love make people no longer feel lonely. Life is gorgeous because of the “love”!
All the people must remember the snowstorm, the earthquake happened in 2008. It’s precisely because of the love showed by people all over the world that we could hold on and overcome the difficulties. The power is unthinkable. People who nourish love, put himself in others’ position and make a dedication to love can obtain rich in his innermost heart. They’re the happiest one in the world because happiness always prefers that kind of person who love life and are willing to devote themselves.
Thank You!
