Speech - I am proud to be a messenger of civilization

Teachers and classmates: Good morning! Today, the title of my speech is, Say goodbye to bad habits and embrace civilization. Our country is one of the birthplaces of world civilization and is known as a land of etiquette, which has made countless descendants of Yan and Huang proud of it. However, there are many examples today that make us feel embarrassed. Let me give two examples. The first example: It is reported that some foreign places, such as Singapore, are a country where English is commonly spoken, and most of the various slogans in public places in this country are written in English. However, some of the slogans involving civility and politeness, such as "No spitting", "No smoking", "No entering the lawn", etc. are written in Chinese. Why? Because most of the people who engage in these uncivilized behaviors are tourists from mainland China. The second example: On National Day the year before last, more than 80 Korean tourists, including more than 30 children, appeared in a tourist area in Urumqi, Xinjiang, collecting rubbish. These guests who came from far away spontaneously organized to clean up the garbage. In just 20 minutes, the garbage in a radius of nearly 1 kilometer was cleaned up. After driving five cardboard boxes full of garbage to the garbage station, the Korean tourists continued to play with peace of mind. Obviously, uncivilized behavior has brought more negative impacts to our country's international image. Walking on the campus, you can see all kinds of uncivilized phenomena everywhere: some people throw plastic bags casually in the stairwells, playgrounds, and even on the school roads. As a result, the campus always seems not clean, and there are even garbage on the ground behind each teaching building; Some people are full of swear words, calling me "Lao Tzu", using dirty words, which is offensive to the ear, and they are not like middle school students at all; some people are yelling, chasing and fighting in the corridors and dormitories, attracting many surprised looks from the surrounding residents; Some people hide in the toilets, smoke and fight, and always speak harshly when encountering conflicts, like gangsters and second-rate people on the street; some people ride on bicycles and ride rampantly, completely disobeying traffic rules; and there are also boys and girls who behave in public places They behaved in an overly affectionate manner, acting as if no one else was around, without any sense of shame; some had fancy hair, dyed their hair yellow, and some girls had their hair permed. These behaviors have had a very bad impact on our school. If we were to give a score to our school's teaching performance, I would give it 100 points, because any indicator of our school can be among the best in the province; if we had to give a score to our level of civilization, how many points would it be? I think I can only score 70 points, but if I pass, I still need to keep improving. Know your shame and then be brave. Just because we are excellent, we must be more strict with ourselves. We must not only win academically, but also win in civilization. What should we do? From today on, everyone must secretly conduct a "three-to-three objection" against themselves and their classmates. One is to compare appearance, who is more dignified, refreshing, and well-dressed, and is opposed to long hair, dyeing, and perming; the other is to compare language, "Please, you Whoever uses the polite words "OK, thank you, sorry" more often is opposed to swearing. When comparing behavior, who is more polite, cultivated and disciplined and opposed to vulgar behavior? After the "three comparisons", we can roughly see the degree of civilization of each person. Students, when you are on campus every day, do you pay attention to your appearance? People often say: Appearance is a reflection of the soul. It can be seen that a person's appearance and his personality are closely connected. As middle school students, we must understand that our appearance must at least conform to the atmosphere of the school and the identity of the students. Maintaining a generous and decent appearance is a form of respect for teachers and classmates. As the saying goes: "Standing has a standing appearance, and sitting has a sitting appearance." A person's demeanor refers to the intuitive movements of various parts of the body such as his gestures, as well as the behavior of dealing with people and interacting with others. "Stand like a pine, walk like the wind, sit like a bell, lie down like a bow" is the ancient people's image summary of human body posture, and it is also a visual requirement for people's behavior. After paying attention to dressing correctly, we must pay attention to our posture every day in school. We are in a young and energetic age, just like the rising sun, we should be full of vitality and vitality. From the moment we step into the school gate, we begin to devote ourselves to learning every day. Therefore, we must maintain a high-spirited and enterprising spirit, and must not be sluggish or dejected. Today, under the solemn national flag, our Grade 1 (16) class issued an initiative to all the students in the school, advocating that everyone should achieve the "Four Fives": "Five Nos": no phlegm on the ground; no paper scraps in the room; no engravings on the tables and stools scratch; no footprints on the wall; no dirty words spoken. "Five Savings": Save one kilowatt hour of electricity, one drop of water, one grain of rice, one piece of paper, and one penny. "Five Belts": Bring etiquette into school; bring smiles into campus; bring filial piety home; bring humility into society; bring kindness to others. "Five advocates": speak softly; walk slowly, be polite to others, pay attention to hygiene; be united and enterprising.

Let's start with ourselves and start now! Let civilization no longer be a pure idea, but the conscious words and deeds of every student! Let civilization no longer be an externally imposed constraint, but an internalized collective self-discipline! Finally, I chose this sentence for everyone to end my speech today: People are not civilized because of their beauty, but beautiful because of their civilization!
