Dear fellow students，
May I have your attention，please? Now I'd like to make a speech here．As we know，waste(become)a common scene on campus recently．Some pour the remains of a meal where there is still much
(1eave)；others
(simple)walk away after washing hands，leaving the water
(run)；students leave the classroom every day
noticing whether fans are switched off．Has thrift(节俭)，one of the national tradition
developed from our long history gone?
so，find it back!
We don't have to take great pains to control waste，but action and a grateful heart are needed；thank the water that runs through our fingers，and save it for poor Arabian or African countries struggling in water(short)；thank the light we enjoy because in poor areas，children share
dim lamp reading；thank all the paper we are able to use，for trees are cut down
(satisfy)our needs；thank everything nature can offer and everything we can own.
Live and act，so the tradition of thrift will never fade．
I was on my way to the Taiyetos Mountains. The sun was setting my car broke down near a remote village. Cursing my
(fortune), I was wondering where I was going to spend the night when I realized that the villagers who had gathered around me
(argue) as to who should have the honour of receiving me
a guest in their house. Finally, I accepted the offer of
80-year-old peasant woman who lived alone in a little house. While she was getting me settled into a tiny but clean room, the head of the village was tying up his horse
my car to pull it to a small town some 20 kilometers away
there was a garage.
I had noticed three hens (run) free in my hostess courtyard and that night one of them ended up in a dish on my table. Other villagers brought me goats cheese and honey. We drank together and talked
(merry) till far into the night.
When the time came for me to say good
bye to my friends in the village, I wanted to reward the old woman for the trouble I (cause) her. But she refused.
