　　good evening， honorable judges， ladies and gentlemen。

　　it’s my great pleasure to stand here to present my speech—change the world，change ourselves。

　　it’s noticable that western holidays are becoming increasingly popular dayby day， while chinese traditional festivals are being somewhat neglected。 notlong before about 10 doctors in beijing university and qinghua unversityannounced that we should reject the invasion of western holidays ，because theyregard western holidays as an challenge against our traditional festivals andculture。

　　frankly speaking， i don’t quite agree with them。indeed， we should neverneglect or even discard our traditonal festivals as china boasts a brillianthistory and splendid traditions。 (examples)。but why can’t we absorb themeaningful western holidays and culture。

　　there are obvious reasons why some western holidays are so popular inchina。 on the one hand， some of the western holidays which we chinese don’t haveare reasonable and meaningful， such as father’s day and april fool’s day etc。 onthe other hand，the prevalence of globalization enables western culture toprevail in china。 overwhelmed by such a trend，chinese unconsiciously getinvolved in western holidays and culture。

　　with the further development of the whole world， the cultural communicationbetween different countries and nations becomes faster and more and moreimportant。 we are indeed from different nations， but we are the citizens of thesame world， so the outstanding culture of different nations is the commom wealthof everyone on the earth。the only way for us to protect our traditional cultureis to reject the foreign culture? the answer is definitely no。 what we ought todo is to spare no effort to educate chinese to get to know and treasure oursplendid traditions instead of rejecting foreign culture。 only by educating canwe set our confidence and belief towards our culture。 only by educating can wepreserve and promote the wealth that our ancesters left for us。

　　at last i’d like to share a famouse saying of gandhi with all of you ，thatis:if you want to change the world， then you must change yourself first。”
