(演讲的主题)The past years have witnessed the severeness of food crisis worldwide. However, some of us haven't attached great importance to the issue. Food waste is still a common sight, especially in the canteen.(演讲的原因)Facing the stern reality, I think it's high time that we stopped it.【高分句型一】 Not only are we expected to raise the awareness of saving food, but also go into action immediately. 【高分句型二】Do remember, every bit of effort counts in the process of saving food for a better life.(自己的倡议)Thank you for your listening!(结束语)38.【答案】I picked myself up and put a trembling hand into my pocket. Then I brought out what was left of my grandfather's proudest possession. There was deep bulge in the watch, the glass shattered, and the Roman numbers looking crazily at one another. Putting it back, I rode slowly on to school, numb with misery. 【高分句型一】After what seemed forever, I finally turned up before the waiting boys. "My mother wouldn't let me bring it," I lied. "His mother wouldn't let him," Crawley jeered. "What a story!" The others took up his cries and left without a backward glance(作者的表被摔碎了,却骗同学们妈妈不允许他将表带到学校.)"That's not the right way. Patience, Will. Patience," a voice echoed in my ears after the boys left. Though anger, embarrassment and sadness hung heavily in the air, the voice drew me to the awareness of the mistakes I had made when I attempted to impress the boys. I shouldn't have tried to integrate in such a hasty way, nor should I have stolen the watch behind my mother. 【高分句型二】It was the first time that I had truly realized the meaning of the gift --- patience. I knew for sure that every time I lost patience in the future I would remember my grandfather's words.(作者想起爷爷说的"耐心",悟出了爷爷说的话的意思)
