2012cctv英语演讲比赛冠军演讲稿：中学组 　　Good afternoon, Ladies and Gentlemen: 　　When the topic people and nature first caught my eye, I was reminded 　　of a story about myself and my violin. 　　I began learning to play the violin when I was eight years old. At 　　first, it was a very hard thing for me. After my continued efforts, I was 　　able to play a lot of musical pieces very soon. I felt so proud of myself that I began to behave arrogantly. 　　My violin teacher noticed this and told me: To be a good violin player, 　　you should first of all love and respect your violin. You should obey the 　　rules of playing it so as to make harmonious melodies. Remember, play the 　　violin not only with your hands, but also with your heart and soul. 　　Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that nature is to people what my violin 　　is to me. Isnrsquo;t it true that people deal with nature just as I play the 　　violin? Isnrsquo;t it true that we have been so arrogant that we take liberties 　　with nature, which brings about the discord between nature and ourselves? 　　Since my violin and I have finally reached harmony, why canrsquo;t people and 　　nature head toward the same direction? 　　Ladies and gentlemen, we cannot wait. Nor can we afford to wait until 　　the day when we find no city, no Hilton hotel, no lecture hall to hold any 　　speech contests in. Let us love and respect nature, nature that is the 　　violin people have played for thousands of years. Let us treasure it, and 　　play it with our heart and soul. Let us observe its rules while developing 　　our industry, modernizing our traffic system, and improving our living 　　conditions, so that one day, people and nature will together produce the 　　most beautiful and peaceful music. 　　On that day, I am sure to be there with my violin, to join the world 　　orchestra, in playing the ode to harmony, the eternal harmony between 　　people and nature. 　　Let my speech today be an overture to that grand symphony.
