Home—A Joy Forever Home means a lot to me. “Be it ever so humble, there is no place like home.” I appreciate the warmth of my home, and regard it as one of the brightest and dearest spots on earth. It is the place where I can take refuge whenever I meet with difficulties, failures and even frustrations in my daily life. At home, my dear parents and brothers and sisters will comfort me and cheer me up. And with their concern and encouragement, I will regain my self-confidence and muster up all my strength and courage to face the stern realities of life. To me, home is forever a joy where I can always find love, understanding, care and help.　 词汇注释： 1. humble [??????] adj. 卑下的, 微贱的, 谦逊的, 粗陋的 2. refuge [?????????] n. 庇护, 避难, 避难所 3. frustration [????????????] n. 挫败, 挫折, 受挫 4. muster [??????] v. 集合, 召集, 征召, 鼓起(勇气等), 集聚 5. stern [?????] adj. 严厉的, 苛刻的 2. Water Shortage It’s long been my dream to make a speech in English. I am very delighted that I can make it today! I hope you’ll agree with what I’m going to say. It goes without saying that water is essential to our life. We need it every day. We use it to drink, wash clothes, water plants and so on. We can’t live without water. Though more than 70% of the earth is covered with water, most of it is seawater or salty water. As a matter of fact, fresh water takes up only a small percentage. Do you know that our earth is facing a very critical problem — the water shortage? Without water, we can do nothing. It’s our duty to preserve our water resources. We must prevent water from being polluted. We should learn to save water. We should make every effort to protect our valuable drinking water. 词汇注释： 1. essential [????????] adj. 本质的, 基本的, 精华的 2. percentage [??????????] n. 部分, 百分比 3. critical [?????????] adj. 评论的, 批评的, 危急的, 4. preserve [????????]
