Good afternoon, and welcome to England. We hope that your visit here will be a pleasant one. Today, I would like to draw your attention to a few of our laws.

The first one is about drinking. Now, you may not buy wine in this country if you are under 18 years of age, nor may your friends buy it for you.

Secondly, noise. Enjoy yourselves by all means, but please don’t make unnecessary noise, particularly at night. We ask you to respect other people who may wish to be quiet.

Thirdly, crossing the road. Be careful. The traffic moves on the left side of the road in this country. Use pedestrian(行人的) crossing and do not take any chance when crossing the road.

My next point is about rubbish. It isn’t lawful to drop rubbish in the street. When you have something to throw away, please put it in your pocket and take it home, or put it in a dustbin.

Finally, as regards smoking, it is against the law to buy cigarettes or tobacco if you are under 16 years of age.

I’d like to finish by saying that if you require any sort of help or assistance, you should contact the police, who will be pleased to help you. You can call, write or directly go to ask any policeman.

Carly Zalenski’s eyes were filled with tears as the dusty bus ran down a dirt road in southern Vietnam. She and her parents had travelled to Ho Chi Minh City by plane from Canton, Ohio of the USA. As they became     to the village, hundreds of cheering      stood in lines at the      to the Hoa Lac School, a two-story building that Carly had      money for.

  Carly started helping      when she was eight. She often walked about to send Thanksgiving baskets at church to families in need. When she saw one girl      very little in a snowy day and others didn’t have warm     , she went door-to-door asking for      coats, hats, gloves, and scarves, then handed them     to the poor families with the baskets.

  However, Carly wanted to do     more—she wanted to “change these children’s     with her efforts”. She remembered that her grandmother’s Rotary club had collected money to build a     in Vietnam a few years ago. She wanted to build a school,      .

  She put together a short show on the people and culture of Vietnam to his audience.    her new braces(脚支架) made it      to make the speech, she was full of enthusiasm, “I want to give them a place to     their lives better.”

At the donation    in Hoa Lac, the school principal was deeply    by the little girl. “How wonderful it is,” he said, “that a girl at her age wants to do something for kids so far away.”

My heart was beating fast when I start to make the speech. I had prepared very good but it was the first time for me to speak to so many student in the public. So I was very nervous when I began to speak. Luckily, the whole room was so quietly that I could easily make myself hear. After a while I became confident than before. Everyone listened carefully. I could see from our eyes that I was doing a good job. As soon as I finished speak, the students applauded. How an unforgettable experience!
