附演讲稿：

The speech was as follows:

尊敬的老师，亲爱的同学们,大家早上好！

Good morning!Dear teachers and students. 

书籍是全世界的营养品。生活里没有书籍，就好像世界没有阳光；智慧里没有书籍，就好像鸟儿没有翅膀。

Books pass down knowledge across the world. There is nothing like books to be our sunshine in life. 

在这个世界上，还有什么能像书籍那样，开阔你的眼界，愉悦你的身心，陶冶你的性情，丰富你的知识，升华你的思想。

Books can broaden your horizon, make you happy, enrich your knowledge and improve your thinking.

有同学说，我作业太多，没时间读书。真的是这样吗？仔细观察，你就会发现：下课时，有人在看书，你却在追逐打闹；吃完饭，有人在看书，你还是在追逐打闹；回到家，有人在看书写作业，你却在看电视、玩游戏……

Some classmates say: “I have too much homework, and no time for reading.” Really? If you take a closer look, you will find that some students are reading, but you are chasing, some students are reading but you are playing, some students are reading but you are watching TV.

这能叫没时间吗？时间是挤出来的，时间对每个人都是一样的，也是不一样的，你挤的多，时间就给你给的多。

Do you really have no time for reading? Everyone has the same amount of time, but the difference lies on ways to spend them: if you make time for something, you will have more time.

读书，需要时间。时间在哪里？它就在我们每一个人的双手里。你一松手，它就从指间溜走了。 因此，读书需要只争朝夕。一早到校，可以读书；午间休息，可以读书；睡觉之前，可以读书。只争朝夕，就是在你茫然的时候，可以选择读书；只争朝夕，就是在你沮丧的时候，可以选择读书；只争朝夕，就是在你懒散的时候，可以选择读书；只争朝夕，在你还拥有梦想的时候，赶紧读书......

Reading takes time. Where has the time gone? It all comes to our decisions. Once you let it go, it slips through your fingers.

同学们，我们要抓紧一切时间来读书，不在意每天读多少，要坚持每天读一点书，不在意每次读懂了多少，要相信日积月累，定会成才。

Dear classmates, let’s take more time to read. Do not mind how much you can read every day but keep on reading. It is a good habit - you will enjoy it.

VBS成立的教师的职业发展学院也做了详细的阅读清单和计划。老师们也与我们一起坚持着每日阅读，与同学们共成长！

VBS has founded the Academy of Teacher Professional Development and made the reading plan. Teachers also read books every day and accompany with our growth.

太阳每天都是新的，生活永远充满希望，现在就开始吧，把握每个瞬间，不要再犹豫！让我们和书籍交朋友吧，让书籍成为我们成长的基石，让书香溢满我们的童年！ 谢谢大家！

The Sun is new each day. Life is always full of hope. Start now to make friends with books; allow them to support our growth; let’s have a wonderful reading childhood! Thank you!
