Dear teachers, parents and classmates, it's my great honor to stand here and give a speech today. I have three roses in my hand: a red one, a white one and a yellow one. These flowers are meant to express my thanks to three groups of people, as they have taught me three valuable lessons: friendship, hard work and trust.
I'd like to present the red rose to my dear friends. When I first came to this school, my Putonghua was far from perfect, and I often made silly mistakes when speaking. Once, I tried to say "nihao" but mistakenly said "hahao", which made some classmates laugh. However, they didn't laugh at me; instead, they patiently corrected my pronunciation and warmly invited me to join their games and discussions. With their kind help, my Putonghua has improved a lot, and we've built deep friendships over the years. So, I want to say a sincere "thank you" to all of my friends.
The white rose is for my beloved teachers, who have taught me that success never comes easily — it requires continuous effort. I used to be terrible at playing basketball. Every time I joined the team practice, I couldn't catch the ball properly and always lagged behind others. I even wanted to quit the team. But my PE teacher, Mr. Chen, encouraged me a lot. He said to me, "The real failure is not being bad at something, but giving up on it." Now, I'm still not the best player on the team, but I've learned to try my hardest in every practice and every game. This spirit of perseverance has also helped me in my studies.
Finally, the yellow rose is for my parents, who have shown me that love is based on trust. Last year, I told them I wanted to learn to play the guitar, but they hoped I would spend more time on my English studies. I felt upset and thought they didn't understand my hobby. But on my birthday, I found a brand-new guitar on my desk, along with a note from my parents. It said, "We believe you can balance your hobby and your studies well. Follow your heart and keep working hard at English too."
These three years have been the most unforgettable time in my life. I'm sure everyone here has their own stories and people to thank. Let's stand up together and say loudly, "Thank you, friends, teachers and parents! We love you all!"
