Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I’m here today to share a good lesson with you. It is a true story about an overseas student 71 in Germany.
After years of hard work, this student graduated with amazing achievements. Everyone thought he was going to get a good 72 easily and have a bright future. But to his disappointment, he was not even given the 73 for an interview! The third time he was refused, he couldn’t help telephoning the company to ask 74 they didn’t want him. The answer was simple. “We don’t offer jobs to 75 people in Germany.”
What was wrong, you might wonder? The truth is, shortly after he arrived in Germany, this clever student found that it was 76 to skip buying subway tickets. So 77 save money, he often went without a ticket. As a result, he had been caught without a ticket in the subway
78 times.
From this story, we learn that we may get short-term benefits in dishonest ways, but the truth will 79 sooner or later and the cost is high. So remember: honesty is the 80 rule.
That’s all for my speech. Thank you!

How often do you have dinner with your family?
Studies show that family dinner hour is an important part ofliving. When family members eat together, they are more likely (可能的) to eat
fruit and vegetables and less junk food. When younger kids often eat dinner with
family, they are less likely to be overweight (超重的).
In the US, about one in five children aged 6—19 are overweight. That puts them at higher risk of many health later in life.
“One of the simplest ways for parents to understand their teenagers better is by family dinners often,” said Joseph Califano Jr., an expert from Columbia University.
Joseph did a national phone survey (调查) of 1,000 teenagers and 829 of teenagers. The survey results show that eating dinner as a family helped kids in many
. It helped them get better grades, and kept them away from bad habits like
, drinking and taking drugs.
In fact, it’s not the family dinner that’s important; it’s the together. It doesn’t have to be dinner. It could be lunch or
. The point (重点) is not being in the same space at the same time while eating. The point is sharing and communication.
