1 On Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving day in the united states, the fourth thursday in november is called thanksgiving day. on that day, Americans give thanks for the blessings they have enjoyed during the year.thanksgiving day is usually a family day. people always celebrate with big dinners and happy reunions. pumpkin pie and indian pudding are traditional thanksgiving desserts. relatives from other cities, students who have been away at school, and many other Americans travel a long distance to spend the holiday at home.

Thanksgiving is a time for tradition and sharing. Even if they live far away, family members gather for a reunion at the house of an older relative.It like spring festival in China. All give thanks together for the good things that they have.

What should we thank on that day?

The thankful parents give us the life, feel happiness of the human life, also feel hardships and pain and sufferings of the human life.The thankful teacher works with diligence and without fatigue everyday of teach, give us knowledge ability, put on the wing which flies toward the ideal for us.

The thankful great universe provides the environment of existence for us and give us sunlight, air, water and everything in keeping with we existence of space, bring storm to let us accept to toughen for us, bring to us mysterious let us look for.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, honorable judges and distinguished guest! This is Alex time! Ha-ha…My topic today is to show our gratitude to people around you.

Then what is gratitude? At the moment a well-known song comes into my mind. Yes, that is called Heart of feel grateful. My heart is filled up with gratitude because I’m with you/Your make me courageous to be myself from cradle to the grave/So now I wanna thank for destiny/I’ll cherish the flower when it blooms until falls. The poetic lyric tells us that gratitude is actually a state of mind.

Once upon a time, the Pilgrims took the May Flower Ship to North America. They started a new life there although a lot of difficulties and hardships they encountered. After a long-time work, they got a big harvest. The Pilgrims had a feast in 1621 near Plymouth, Massachusetts, which is often referred to as the first Thanksgiving. People show their sincere gratitude towards the God, the nature, the earth, the river, the Indians and themselves. Moreover the 1621 feast has become a model for the Thanksgiving celebration in the United States. So we can see gratitude is an action to take.

How can we express our gratitude? It’s never a simple question to answer. Gratitude is a rare jewel, not a piece of cake, I know. But how can we expect such big events happening now and then? How can we be ready to say thank you ahead of time? How can we always hope to be grateful to everything and everyone for their dignity and generosity? Sometimes I may ask to myself. Is it moral? Is it honest? Is it beneficial? Is it necessary? Or the most interesting one, is it ridiculous? Ha-ha…So in my opinion, we’d better concentrate on our life’s details. Keep your eyes open to your daily life. Yes! A shining smile is supposed to be gratitude. A thank-you note is supposed to be gratitude. A soulful watch is supposed to be gratitude. As far as a baby’s crying on his arrival is supposed to be gratitude. And even fallen leaves in autumn are supposed to be gratitude. So the person, who stands here giving you a speech, is also showing HIS gratitude.

At last, what’s the significance of showing our gratitude? A proverb says that Gratitude is the sign of noble souls. Wow! Until now I am not that kind of giant, but I dare to say that everyone, you and me, has the right and the duty to show our gratitude to the world, no matter rich or poor, happy or sad, young or old. Only by doing so can we achieve our human ultimate concern. Meanwhile it obviously helps to build up a harmonious society. Under the same sky we enjoy the same sunshine and appreciate the same love due to thanking and caring each other. Well, does it Plato’s paradise?

All in all, a world full of gratitude is preciously expected for thousands of years. Why not show our gratitude to people around you?

Thank you very much!

亲爱的妈妈：

您好！

妈妈这是我第一次给您写信，所以有些羞愧。

您最近身体好吗？工作还顺利吧！这几天您的心情如何，我没有一天不牵挂您。

我是多么想念您，您做给我的饭，是多么好吃，我经常梦到晚上我去厨房偷吃您做的饭菜。

妈妈您坐下来休息一会吧！不要那么辛苦了，每天下班做饭给我们吃，天天给我们洗衣服……每次吃完饭，我要帮你洗碗时，你却说家务事你不用管，你只要管好自己的学习就行。自己却不合一次眼，我热泪盈眶。

啊！妈妈我爱你。

祝你

身体健康，工作顺利。

父亲节到了，我的心，不禁百感交集。因为我想起了我的爸爸。同时也想起了一首歌《感恩的心》，相信大家也都听过吧。‘感恩的心，陪伴着你。感恩的心，让我回忆起了父亲’。这首歌表达了父亲对我们的爱，是他把我们养大，我们一定要懂得着爱。以后去报答他的养育之恩。

“父亲”这个词，着两个字眼。对我们来说是那么的熟悉，那么的亲切。

我的父亲每天早起晚睡，为的是我们两姐弟过上幸福的生活。有一次，我生病了，当时是半夜，我发起了高烧，浑身发烫，手脚冰冷，非常难受。这时，爸爸似乎发现了我的异常。于是就问我，“孩子，你怎么了?”我难受的说：“我很不舒服，很难受。”爸爸摸了摸我的额头说“孩子，你发烧了，但是，现在……现在是大半夜。”过了一会。

爸爸端着一盆水。然后，把湿手巾放在我的额头上。我的额头顿时清凉了许多。就这样，爸爸一直这样给我换手巾。虽然没有之前那么烫，但是还是烫。

当我醒来的时候，我就躺在医院的病床上打着点滴。我发现，奶奶在我的旁边。我问：“奶奶，爸爸呢?”奶奶亲切地对我说：“你爸爸刚出去了。你爸爸在大半夜里一直在你身边照顾你。你要懂得感恩呀!”我点了点头。

我知道这几年爸爸非常忙，可他就算再忙也还是抽出时间来照顾我，关心我。这些在我的记忆里留下很深刻的印象。

最后我要祝爸爸，也祝世界上的所有父亲，父亲节快乐。

Fathers Day

Yesterday was Fathers Day. I had planned to give my father a present. But I didnt remember it until in the morning.It was too late to post a card to him. So I decided to buy something. When I was in the department store. I found it was not easy for me to choose something right for him. Suddenly I

got an idea. I ran home and opened my computer. I made a beautiful card and mailed him through the Internet. then I began to make supper. When father came home, he was very glad to find a big meal on the table. then I asked him to check his e-mail. He was amazed to find a beautiful card in his e-mail-box.

What a wonderful surprise!

Thanksgiving originated in the United States, it is a big American holiday. On Thanksgiving Day, people will be the whole family get together, eat delicious food, such as Thanksgiving Turkey and pumpkin pie, and food and they will thank, thank parents, thanks to all of the things around you. We can China although there is no Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving tradition of excellence is the source to for a long time, it reminds me of many, many...

Since ancient times, our country is a formal state, there are "mercy is not kind, know well the report not the gentleman", "dripping of grace when yongquan", is to make people want to have a heart of gratitude, be thankful. And "a day for the teacher, lifelong for father", is to thank our teacher, "crow has the righteousness of regurgitation feeding, YangYouGuiRuZhiEn" is the reminder to know repay our parents of child...

Ive seen such a scene: a young man helped an old woman find her child, the old woman in order to thank the young man, is the most precious thing in the world to himself. Also have I seen such a scene: a friend to his deskmate borrow the eraser, after finished, not only doesnt even have words of gratitude, even put the eraser, while the he thinks its nothing, I cant help but worry about the childrens future, a person who has no gratitude is no good as.

In our daily life, such cases were common, now only children, all was being waited on hand and foot, and they spoiled and dont know understanding parents, grateful parents, all day only know ask parents for money, buy a good fun, if the parents dont meet their demands, light blubber, the person that weigh and abusive parents. See these, I can not help but ask, who is raising them, why they havent got a heart of gratitude, you know since we want to know from the mothers belly was born a thankful heart, whats more, their parents raise we spent much effort! How can we know for only and do not know Thanksgiving?

As a human being, we should thank all things around, we humans are just the page chapter in the history of the earth, we will sooner or later stepped from the earths overlord, we should thank all give us the opportunity to live on earth, water, food, air, trees, flowers and plants... Is that it allows us to survive. What can we human beings doing? Water is sewage with the color of the factory, the air is smoke smoked no longer pure and fresh, trees have been cut down and flowers be trampled... Have they ever grateful! Chickens lay eggs, chicken eggs, Thanksgiving is a continuous cycle process, if the world didnt gratitude, the earth will go quickly. So why do humans live!

Human ah! Without gratitude like a walking corpse. Gratitude should be fostered, with a Thanksgiving heart, will have a foothold in the society. If everyone is grateful, the world will become more beautiful

感恩节源于美国，它是美国人一个重大的节日。在感恩节那天，人们会全家人聚在一起，吃感恩节火鸡和南瓜馅饼等美味的食物，而且他们还会感谢食物，感谢父母，感谢身边的所有事物。我们中国虽然没有感恩节，可感恩的优良传统却源来以久，这不由得让我想起了很多很多……

我国历来是个礼仪之邦，自古就有“施恩不图报，知恩不报非君子”，“受人滴水之恩当以涌泉相报”的说法，就是要让人们要有感恩的心，要心存感激。而“一日为师，终生为父”，则是要我们感谢老师，“鸦有反哺之义，羊有跪乳之恩”则时该提醒人们要知道报答父母的生养之恩……

我曾经看到这样一幕：一个年轻人帮助一个老婆婆找到了她的孩子，这个老婆婆为了感谢这位年轻人，就把自己最珍爱之物送给了他。我也看到过这样的一幕：一个小朋友向他的同桌借橡皮擦，用完之后，不仅连句感激的话都没有，甚至把橡皮擦据为已有，他认为这没什么，我不禁为这个小朋友的前程担心，一个没有感恩之心的人是不会有好作为的。

在我们的日常生活中，这样的事例屡见不鲜，现在的独生子女，都过着衣来伸手，饭来张口的日子，他们娇生惯养不知道体谅父母，感激父母，整天只知道向父母要钱，买好吃的好玩的，如果父母不满足他们的要求，轻则又哭又闹，重者还有谩骂父母的。看到这些，我不禁要问，是谁生养了他们，为什么他们连一点感恩的心都没有，要知道我们既然从母亲的肚子里被生出来就要知道感恩，更何况父母养育我们又花了多少心血啊!我们怎么能只知道索取而不知道感恩呢?

作为一个人，我们应该感谢身边的一切事物，我们人类只是地球历史的一页篇章，我们迟早会从地球霸主的位置上退下来，我们应该感谢万物给我们在地球上生存的机会，水，食物，空气，树木，花草……是它们让我们得以存活。可我们人类又在做什么呢?水被工厂的污水染上了颜色，空气被浓烟熏得不再清新，树木被砍伐，花草被践踏……他们何曾懂得感恩啊!鸡生蛋，蛋生鸡，感恩是一个不断循环的过程，如果世界上没了感恩，地球就会快速地走向灭亡。那么人类又何以生存啊!

人类啊!没有感恩之心的人就像行尸走肉。感恩之心要从小培养，拥有了感恩之心，就拥有了在社会上立足的根本。如果每个人都心存感恩，世界将会变得更美好

the thankful great universe provides the environment of existence for us and give us sunlight, air, water and everything in keeping with we existence of space, bring storm to let us accept to toughen for us, bring to us mysterious let us look for.

Thanksgiving Day is coming soon, it is on the fourth Thursday in December.

Thanksgiving Day is very popular in western country, on that day, people will

make a big turkey to eat. The day is to in honor of Indian people’s great

kindness. A long time ago, some puritans took the boat May Flower to Americafor

freedom, but they suffered from starvation and illness, the Indian people helped

them, gave them food and treat them. The puritan planted something, they were

eager to have good harvest, at last, they got it and felt very grateful to God

感恩节就要来了，在十一月的第四个星期天。感恩节在西方很流行，在那天，人们烤火鸡来吃。这个节日是为了纪念印第安人们的友好。很久以前，一些清教徒乘着“五月花”号船去美国寻求自由，但是他们遭遇饥饿和疾病，印第安人们帮助了他们，提供他们食物并治疗他们。清教徒播种，希望有好的丰收，最后，他们得到了好的丰收，很感激上帝和印第安人，所以他们决定定一个日子来记住这些并表示感谢。

Some people know how hard, some people know how to honor, some people know how to respect, know how to cherish. I know a different kind of friendship - thanksgiving. When I was toddler, my parents were leaning on the side; when my life was rugged. Is the parents to help me through the ups and downs; when I study the pressure when the parents gave me a cup of hot tea; when I was bullied, the parents for me to fight injustice ... ... parents paid so much for us, do not we Should you learn to be grateful?

I remember once, school sooner or later, I said to my mother: "Mom, why do not you call me to get up early? I should be late!" I complained. "Well, you hurry, Ill wait for you downstairs." Mother said, while walking out the door. I dawdle to finish the teeth, casually grilled a few mouthfuls of rice, dressed, rushed to the downstairs. Mom has long been waiting downstairs. Breath of the north wind, I was shivering coldly. Mother took his big coat and put it on. Im still talking about it: "You are so late to call me up, will be late, late criticized!" Mom opened the car faster. Cold wind "wind" from my ear blowing, scraping my ear sore. Im late.

Back home, my father said more, "your mother because the morning too little wear, cold cold, is resting, you do not argue to him." Tears like a broken line of pearls, fell down. All this is because of me, all because of love! I went to the mothers bed, guilty to say "mother, sorry".

Is that experience, let me understand the love of parents. Let me learn a more care, less complain. More than a Thanksgiving, less a bit disgusted!

随着时间的转动，我们又迎来了父亲节。

今天，我打算送爸爸一个父亲节的礼物。不过，我还是想我在父亲节这一天不让爸爸生气，为爸爸干些力所能及的事，在这一天，甚至以后都不惹爸爸生气。

有一天，我突然想学自行车，爸爸就像没经过大脑考虑一样，就说：”好，晚上就带你去骑。”到了晚上，爸爸推着自行车带我到门口骑。

我不敢上自行车，爸爸对我说：“不要怕，我扶着你。”我听了，才壮着胆子骑上了自行车，爸爸在后面平衡地推着我，自行车一歪，爸爸就马上把它扶正。过了半个小时，我说：”爸爸，你看，我是不是像真的在骑呀!“这时，我回头一看，爸爸已经不在我身后了，只见爸爸在一旁向我微笑。就这样，我学会了骑自行车。

现在，我自行车已经骑地很好了。但是，这件事像刀割一样”刻“在了我的心里。

我永远都不会忘记———我的爸爸。

Every year on the fourth ThursDayof November is Thanksgiving Day. It’s a festival for American and Canadian with the purpose of thanks for harvest. While canadians celebrate on the second Monday of October. I have a penfriend in America. He wrote to me his Thanksgiving Day last year. He told me that it was a time for family reunion. Families would come back home to celebrate the festival together. Most of the time it was his mother who prepared the dinner. Turkey is must for the festival. It looks like huge chicken. His mother also made pumpkin pie and many other delicious food for them. After the dinner, they talked with each other with the old thing or the future plan. He said sometimes they would invite some friends to share the happiness of Thanksgiving Day. In a word, he had a great time on Thanksgiving Day.

每年十一月的第四个星期四是感恩节。这是美国和加拿大为了感谢丰收的节日。但是加拿大人却是在十月的第二个星期一庆祝。我在美国有一个笔友。他写信告诉我他去年感恩节的情况。他告诉我那是家庭团聚的时间。家人们都会回家庆祝节日。大多数时候，是他的母亲准备晚餐。火鸡是节日的必需品。它看起来像一只巨型鸡。他的母亲也做了南瓜派和许多其他美味的食物给他们。晚饭过后，他们会互相谈论过去的事或未来计划。他说有时候他们也会邀请一些朋友来一起分享感恩节快乐。总之，他在感恩节过得很开心。

Some people understand the hard, some people know the filial piety, some people learned to respect, understand to cherish. If I know what an extraordinary kindness, gratitude. Western proverb: happiness, is have a thankful heart, a healthy body, a desirable job, one with your family, a bunch of reliable friends.

Gratitude for happiness, because I dont know Thanksgiving person, you cannot get happiness, the Chinese nation has a fine tradition of "Thanksgiving". "Who made the heart-inch grass, at a three chunhui." Moving verse, "dripping of grace, when animals are reported" classic lines, you whether to send you a cup of warm tea after mother overworked, handed in hers birthday, a homemade card, give a word of consolation when mother lost, mother for us to pour into the painstaking effort, energy, and we ever remember mothers birthday, feel mothers toil, and perceive that whereas silver, that the wrinkles. To feel grateful to you with my heart, and to return.

有的人懂得了勤奋，有的人懂得了孝敬，有的人懂得了尊重，懂得了珍惜。我懂得了一个与众不同的情义——感恩。西方有句谚语：幸福，是有一颗感恩的心，一个健康的身体，一份称心的工作，一位着你的家人，一帮可以信赖的朋友。

感恩为幸福之首，是因为不知道感恩的人，就不会得到幸福，中华民族具有优良的“感恩”传统。“谁言寸草心，报得三春晖。”的动人诗句，“滴水之恩，当涌泉相报”的经典诗句，你是否在母亲劳累后送上一杯暖茶，在母亲生日时递上一张自制的卡片，在母亲失落时奉上一句安慰的话语，母亲为我们倾注了心血、精力，而我们又何曾记得母亲的生日，体会母亲的劳累，又是否察觉到那缕缕银丝，那一条条皱纹。感恩需要你用心去体会，去报答。

父亲六十多岁了，是一个地地道道的农民，在我的记忆中，父亲善良，淳朴，一生都勤勤垦垦，任劳任怨地操持着这个家，父亲没做过什么惊天动地的大事，也从来不说华丽的语言，但父亲却是影响我一生的人。

记得小时候，家里条件不好，人口又多，为了让我们过得好一点，父亲种了许多的地，每天起早贪晚去地里干活，由于过度劳累，父亲得了腰腿疼的病，每次干活都疼的呲牙咧嘴，但父亲从没有一句怨言，默默地承担着家庭的重担。

慢慢的我长大了，我越来越读懂得了父亲，他平时话不多，做起事来却是非常的认真，特别是对待我的学习上，父亲更是严格的要求，每天都会检查我的作业，不能有一点马虎，

父亲写得一手好字，这是我一生都不及父亲的地方，父亲说要不是赶上文化大革命，他也许会有另一个未来，在那个动荡的岁月中，他和他的同龄人不上课，一起去了北京，带着“红卫兵”的袖标，涌动在北京人民大会堂前，等待着毛主席的接见，父亲说：那时候吃饭不花钱，坐车也不花钱，却害了一代人，你们现在赶上了好时候一定要好好的学习，将来也会有一个好的前途，做一个有用的人，说这话时我明显感觉到父亲心底的伤感，我也在心里对自已说一定要努力学习，不让父亲失望。

我把所有的时间都用在了学习上，我想我会考上一所理想的大学，可当我的努力付之东流后，我的精神受到了很大的大击，我以为父亲会骂我，骂我不争气，以至于许久我都不敢正视父亲的眼睛，相反父亲却安慰我说，做任何事情只要付出了努力，即使失败了，也不要有什么遗憾，一直到今天，这句话仍深深地印在我的心底，每当想起都会泪光闪烁，当我遇到困难的时候，鼓舞着我前行的脚步。

我嫁到外地后，离家比较远，父亲更加的惦记着我，惦记着我的儿子，常常的打电话来问我的生活情况，还经常教育我要孝敬婆婆，要对老人好，说他们那一代人吃的苦多，要让老人享享清福，(感恩)我想我对婆婆只所以有那么深的感情和父亲的教导是分不开的。

父亲年纪越来越大了，性格却越来越像个孩子，他身体不太好，我把他接来住，可是没几天父亲就回家了，他说这的邻居都不认识，太闷，这的空气也不好，对身体不好，他说，在农村呼吸新鲜的空气，吃自已种的菜，才放心，还劝我也搬回农村住。

随着时间的流逝，我的孩子越来越大了，我也越来越体会到做父母的不容易，父亲仍旧一如既往的惦记着我，我也常常的想念着他，父亲常说;他老了没有给我们留下什么财富，只希望我们能踏踏实实地做人，做事就行了，朴实的话语给了我许多的感动，我感谢父亲不仅给了我生命，更教会我做人的道理，我知道这是父亲对我的爱，这种爱是淡淡的，在一点一滴中渗透进你的生命里，这种爱胜过千言万语，是多少财富都买不来的，这份爱是一盏灯，是一份力量，在黑暗中给你光亮，在困境中给你勇气。走向未来。衷心地祝愿天下的父母都健康长寿。

My wife， Shirley， and I have gone on vacations to a quiet beach in southwestern Florida for most of our married life. If that beach could talk， it would tell of teenage newlyweds who sunned and wrote I love you on its sands. It would tell of a little girl with eyes the color of the sea gathering seashells and of three wild boys leaping and diving into the surf. It would tell of joyous visits over the years from friends， parents， grandparents， new brides and grooms -- and now grandchildren. The beach would tell glorious tales of warmth and gratitude. collected by www？

But I realized one day that I had rarely expressed my gratitude to the one who’d lived those years with me. On our 40th wedding anniversary， Shirley and I walked again the familiar margin of the sea. I told her then how thankful I was that she shared my life.

We don’t have to wait for anniversaries to thank the ones closest to us -- the ones so easily overlooked. If I have learned anything about giving thanks， it is this： Give it now！ While your feeling of appreciation is alive and sincere， act on it. Saying thanks is such an easy way to add to the world’s happiness.Collected By www？

A few years ago， a young woman from a neighboring town won a scholarship to a prestigious college. Although the inner-city high school she attended was plagued with problems， she overcame them and excelled. When she graduated， she commended the often-maligned school for its challenging courses and her teachers for their special interest and encouragement. I can’t say enough good things about the school and the teachers who gave me so much of themselves， she said. I shall be eternally grateful to them.Collected By

Saying thanks not only brightens someone else’s world， it brightens yours. If you’re feeling left out， unloved or unappreciated， try reaching out to others. It may be just the medicine you need.

Before A. J. Cronin became a bestselling author， he was a doctor. Once he told about a colleague who gave an unusual prescription to patients afflicted with worry， fear， discouragement or self-doubt. The doctor called it his thank-you cure. For six weeks I want you to say thank you whenever anyone does you a favor. And to show you mean it， emphasize the words with a smile. Within six weeks most of the doctor’s patients showed great improvement.Collected By

Of course， there are times when you can’t express gratitude immediately. In that case don’t let embarrassment sink you into silence -- speak up the first time you have the chance.

I recently returned home to Montpelier， Ohio， for a short visit. Memories of my boyhood flooded back as I walked the familiar streets. Then I saw Mrs. Bible， and my mind flashed back to high school.collected by

I was a freshman， more interested in sports than school work， and I was falling behind in my Latin class. Then Violet Bible， a neighbor who was a schoolteacher， found out about my problem. Oh， Latin’s great fun， she told me. Come over tonight after dinner and I’ll show you. For the next several weeks， she tutored me until I could conjugate with the best of them -- well， almost. Anyway， I passed. At the callow age of 14 it seemed perfectly natural to me that a working wife and mother had nothing better to do after a hard day’s work than tutor me in Latin.Collected By

Now as I saw her， I realized what an uncommon sacrifice it had been. And， after all those years， I told her so！ What you did was way beyond the call of duty， I said. Thank you. I was rewarded with a surprised smile and a sparkle in her eyes.

Each human being is yearning for kind words of appreciation. In December 1991， 17-year-old Candi Brown’s car overturned； the roof collapsed and crushed her skull. The crews of Engine Company 8 and Med 15 in Grayson， Ga.， rushed her to Gwinnett Medical Center. Doctors told her parents to prepare for the worst. But Candi survived. A year later the family served a holiday dinner to the Gwinnett County firefighters and emergency medical technicians. During dinner Candi， whose goal is to walk naturally again， rose painfully and said， Thank you for helping God save my life and giving me a second chance. I love you.collected by.

老师、同学们：

6月17日是一年一度的父亲节，父亲对我们来说太伟大了，它是家里的顶梁柱，是我们生活最有力的保障，父亲默默地支撑起我们温暖的家，他是我们幸福生活的保证。

相对于温柔亲切的母爱而言，父爱是深沉的。如果说母爱是清冽的甘泉的话，那父爱就是巍峨的高山。父亲用坚实的臂膀挑起了家的重担，挑起了一个男人的尊严的同时，也把沉甸甸的父爱挑了起来。

每次听到刘和刚演唱《父亲》的时候，我的眼里就闪着激动的泪花：“我的老父亲，我最疼爱的人，人间的甘甜有十分，你只尝了三分。再苦再累你的脸上挂着温馨……”这充满着温情的歌词里，哪句没有留下我们父亲的身影呢?是的，也许我们的父亲还没有老，皱纹还没有爬上他们的额角，但是随着岁月的流逝，我们的父亲也终将衰老，可是无论岁月怎么溜走，不变的是父亲对我们的爱永远都在，而且是永恒的复加!

我们还小，在父亲的呵护下学习和成长，应该把更多的时间和精力放在学习上，学习好了，守纪律了，这就是对父亲最好的报答。

在今天这个特殊的日子里，让我们怀着感恩的心，对自己的父亲说声：“亲爱的爸爸，您辛苦了。”如果寸草心不能报答三春晖，我们自然也无法报答父爱的千万分之一，但是只要心中有理想，就会付出行动，做一个让父亲骄傲的好孩子

老师、同学们：

下周日就是一年一度的父亲节了。说起父亲，同学们都很熟悉，毕竟我们天天跟爸爸妈妈生活在一起，太熟悉不过了，但同学们，你们知道爸爸的伟大吗?就好像母爱一样，父爱也非常伟大，非常值得我们敬重。

生活中、我们更多的在赞美母亲，赞扬母爱，很少谈及父爱。高尔基说过：父爱就像一本震撼心灵的书，读懂了这本书，就读懂了整个人生。

其实，在人类爱的长河里，父爱和母爱同样伟大。同学们不妨仔细想一想。在你懵懂的记忆里，是谁整日里用宽大的手掌撑起你，是谁用粗硬的胡须亲昵你，是谁用厚实的肩膀驮着你，又是谁整天跪在地上让你尽享骑马的乐趣?是父亲，正是那无私无畏的父亲。如果说母爱如水，柔美细腻、源远流长;那么父爱一定如山，粗旷豁达、气吞江海。难怪人们选择一年之中阳光最炽热的6月来过父亲节，原来它蕴含着的是父亲给予子女的最真挚、最火热的爱。

大家回顾一下自己的成长历程，教我们坚强、教我们自立、教我们树雄心立大志的一定是父亲，从这个意义上说，父爱如山。父亲是勇气和力量的源泉，是希望和信心的化身。尤其在做人，求学的岁月里，他留给我们的是坚强和忍耐、如同巨石山峰，能抵挡住风雨的洗礼，雷电的怒吼，波涛的汹涌。无论春夏秋冬，不管天南海北，我们在哪儿，父爱就延伸到那里。父爱还是一片宁静的港湾，当我们失落时，他能给予我们信心，勇气和力量;父爱更是一本书，当我们长大以后，再次打开它，一定会读懂父亲那颗最深沉、最热烈的心。

母爱有声、父爱无言，父爱可能就藏在愤怒的呵斥中，也可能藏在打你的巴掌里，无论它藏在哪里，我们一定要理解父亲那深沉的爱啊!

我们的国旗下讲话完了。谢谢大家!

亲爱的爸爸：

您辛苦了！

以前，我总是不敢和你正面对话。每次心里有事时，总是不敢对您说。因为您的表情总时很严肃。今天借此机会，给您讲一些悄悄话。

爸爸，每到周末，我的时间总是被您安排得紧紧的。上午有奥数作文课，下午有剑桥英语课。我希望能够自己支配时间，渴望认识朋友，认识社会。

另外，爸爸，在您还记得那次我生病了吗？那次，时因为游泳游了很多次，所以舌下腺那里出了一些问题，医生说，要做手术才能治好。

做完了手术之后，您日日夜夜为我操劳，在我饿了的时候，你总是从家里给我送饭；在我睡觉的时候，你总是守在我的身边，生怕我出了什么事；在我伤心的哭了的时候，你总是和伯伯一起安慰我，鼓励我；在我吃饭的时候，您总是在一旁默默地看着我。可是我哪里知道，您是在百忙之中抽出一点时间来看我的啊！你甚至为了我，而放弃了手中的一大笔生意！而我呢，在化验的时候还不积极配合，让您担心了，在此，儿子对您说一声对不起。

感恩的心，感谢父亲。爸爸，这一次期中考试中，我没有进前十名。您那么爱我：我要什么吃的，您给我做；要什么文具，您跟我买。我无论要什么东西，您只要能买到的，就一定会买到，然后送给我。

这世界什么东西都能还清，除了天下父母心。

敬祝：

身体健康

工作顺利

一转眼十几年过去了，连我自己都不敢相信自己长这么大了。但看到你们那饱经风霜的面容，我知道这是真的。

记得小时候，我是单纯的。每天依偎在你的怀抱，每天拉着你的大手奔跑，那时侯的我多么高兴，多么快活啊！我真的认为自己就是一只小鸟，飞啊飞啊~~穿过一朵朵洁白的云彩，在自己的里放声歌唱。那时我渴望快点长大，因为长大后我就可以做自己想做的事情，不管多么的疲倦，但是，我愿意！在我的世界里，我需要你的包围，我需要你给我温暖，我需要来自你的爱。我甚至认为我和你的生命是共存的，因为当时的我真的无法想象失去你后我的生活会是怎样。但时间过的越快，我越彷徨，我怕失去那分单纯，怕失去那种无忧无虑的生活，但渐渐地，我感觉到我真的失去了……

我不想长大，因为长大后我的世界就没有童话；我不想长大，因为长大后我会变得笨又傻；我不想长大，因为长大后我就会失去翅膀，失去方向，失去自己！

和其他同龄人一样，我拥有青春期独特的叛逆。我想追求自己的个性，想拥有自己不同于常人的独特味道。但这一切只能是泡影，因为你们望子成龙的心让我不得不每天在书海中苦苦遨游，我也想做自己喜欢的事，可惜没时间。大人们都说“束缚！是为了飞得更高！”可你们知道吗？我不想成为，我想玩，我想笑，我想哭，我想挥霍！我想洒脱！但现实始终没有想象中完美，我依旧让每天单调的生活在我的生命中重复着，就象无限循环小数一样，不知道何时才算结束。听见冬天的离开，我在某年某月醒过来，向左，向右，，生活却不能因此安排，我努力张望，我努力试探，却发现，我迷路了。好几次想和你谈谈却无从开口，因为在你看来小孩子的话没有任何重量，于是被遗憾关在了房间，挣扎也只能是徒劳，依旧过着数年如一日的生活。我真的不知道自己应该追求自己想要的，还是听从你所说的，我只是发现，我的视线越来越模糊了，我的生命正在一点一点地从我手中流淌，但却又无力挽回！

我想好好读书，它也能让我找到快乐。但我更想追求真正属于自己的，至少对于来说是这样的。你总说我要努力学习，以后成为企业家，总经理，或者是董事长什么的。但这些对于我来说只不过是能赚到大笔大笔的钱罢了。但我宁愿自己渺小，因为我不想在商场搏斗，我想摆脱尘世，永远单纯、。我可以成为一名流浪画者，或是无名的艺术和文化的创造者，这些普通得不能在普通的人群，因为我不想出名，不可能出名，也没打算要出名。我只是想以一种安静简单地生活！

我想要的、想追求的只是我真正喜欢的生活。在你们选择放飞风筝之前，我会努力学习，努力飞翔，向光明靠近！

祝你们永远开心快乐！
