大家上午好！

上周我们迎来了感恩节。今天我就和大家一起来聊聊感恩！

在美国，每年11月的最后一个星期四就是"感恩节”。在感恩节那天，人们欢聚一堂，举行各种庆祝活动，感谢、颂扬在过去一年里帮助过自己的人。

其实自古以来，我们中华民族就一直提倡要乐于助人、知恩图报，“受人滴水之恩， 当以涌泉相报”，一度传为名句。但如今同学们大多都是独生子女，家人的溺爱导致很多同学觉得别人的关怀是理所当然，不懂得感谢、感激，只知道索取;甚至对太过关心自己的家人产生逆反、厌烦情绪。这些想法和行为都是极为不应该的。

同学们，我们静下心来仔细想想，生活中值得我们感激的地方真是太多了！感谢祖国，给了我们和平安宁的成长空间。感谢父母，付出了全部的心血养育我们;感谢老师，呕心沥血谆谆教育我们。感谢同学的真诚的关心和帮助。感谢社会上的好心人对我们的关心和爱护。我们甚至感谢失败、挫折与磨难，因为它们使我们看到了成功的希望，把我们磨砺得更加坚强。拥有一颗感恩之心，你就会拥有打开幸福之门的金钥匙，你会发现许多美好的事物与情感，体味到许多不同寻常的快乐和幸福!

我们要从现在做起，把感恩变成一种习惯，习惯性的对别人友好，习惯性的投入学习，习惯性的欣赏身边的事物与美景。生活如此美丽，让我们怀着感恩的心投入学习与生活，去收获成功的幸福与喜悦吧!

我的演讲完毕。谢谢大家！

Good morning everyone!

We have already enjoyed Thanksgiving Day last Thursday. So today I would like to deliver a speech about gratitude. Thanksgiving Day is celebrated on the last Thursday in November every year in some foreign countries. On Thanksgiving Day, people gather in the hall and hold various celebrations to thank and praise those who have helped themselves in the past year.

In fact, our Chinese nation has for generations advocated to be willing to help others and to repay them with gratitude. As a traditional Chinese saying goes, “If you receive a drop of kindness from others, you should repay it with a gushing spring”. But now most of our students are only child. The doting of their families leads many students to take other people's care for granted. They don't know how to thank and appreciate, but only know how to ask. They even have rebellious and boring feelings towards their families who care so much about themselves. These thoughts and actions are extremely inappropriate.

Students, let's calm down and think carefully. There are so many things in life that we should be grateful! Thank our motherland for giving us room for peaceful growth. Thank our parents for all their efforts to raise us. Thank our teachers for their painstaking and earnest cultivation. Thank our classmates for their sincere concern and help. Thank the kind-hearted people in the society for their care and love for us. We should even thank failures and hardships, because they make us see the hope of success and help to shape a stronger self. With a grateful heart, we will have the golden key to open the door of happiness. With a grateful heart, we will find many beautiful things and emotions, and experience many unusual happiness!

We should start from now on, turn our gratitude into a habit, habitually be friendly to others, habitually invest in learning, and habitually enjoy the things and beautiful scenery around us. Life is so beautiful. Let's devote ourselves to study and life with gratitude and harvest the happiness and joy of success!

That’s all for my speech. Thank you.
