Violence is my top concern

Violence is my top concern (世界暴力是我最關心的問題)

Hello everyone! It’s my honor to make a speech here.　　

Last week, I picked up an important piece of news from my schoolmate. He said the USA government had decided to withdraw troops from Iraq .When I heard the news , I didn’t believe it .However ,it was true .When I turned on the TV to watch the further report, what I saw was that the US soldiers eventually returned home ,tired and frightened.　　

   What influences their feelings is violence and war. They saw too much blood and too many people killed in the war. What’s worse, they had to kill others sometimes in order to survive themselves. Faced with so much violence, they are filled with fear.　　

In our daily life, there are also many violent cases around us. Not only does it affects our public order, but it also has a bad influence on people, especially the teenagers.　　

As there are large quantities of harms in violence. What can we do to avoid it? I think it’s important for us to be kind to others. Smile can easily spread in the air, so when we smile to others, others will repay us a smile.　　

As for the government, I think every country should do work together. What causes the conflicts between the countries is the lack of communication. Understanding is a bridge that is made up of love and tolerance. As the saying goes,“United , we stand; divided , we fall.”. To make our world a better place to live in, we should learn to take care of others. And what is more important is that we should learn to respect others.　　

When the love of peace spread all over the world, smile will take the place of crying. Violence will no longer be a problem. And I’m sure we’ll have a better future.
