Good morning, boys and girls!

The topic of my speech today is “Learn to express thanks”. We find some students want to eat w and wear fashionable clothes at school. When they l school and enter society, they don’t know how to s any sense of thanks.

I think this behavior is not correct. As students, we should l to express thanks. The society o us a chance to receive good education. And our parents also support us to go to school. Our teachers teach us m knowledge, so we should thank them. We should a thank our friends because they can always give us encourage and help.

In the f , we should never forget our society, parents, teachers and friends. At present, we should study harder to make our world more b .

Thank you for your l !
