Before giving a speech,I want to ask everyone some questions.
1.How many of you can remember the birthday of your parents?
2.How many people can remember the birthday of the idols you love?
   Today,many students can remember their own birthdays,their friends’ birthdays,even their idols’ birthdays.However,both of them forget their parents’ birthdays.Everyone's life is a continuation of the parents of one blood, all of the parents gave us love, let us enjoy the human world of affection and happiness, therefore, we would like to thank the parents.Parents’ love is the most unconditional and thus the greatest love in the world.Our parents have done much for us since we were born,They give us lots of love and care,but we do not care for them enough.
   Last week our music teacher taught us a song, named Indebted Heart. Through it I know that we should live with a thankful heart. At that time, I think of my parents. I think they are the first people I should thank. It’s them who give me life. It’s them who give me home. It’s them who bring me up. It’s them who look after me. It’s them who teach me knowledge and live happily. I should thank my parents giving me so much. Maybe I should think how to pay back the love my parents give me. But now I think the best way to be appreciated of my parents is to study well and then being a useful person to the society when I grow up.
   Gratitude is the feeling of being grateful, the art of receiving gracefully, and the act of showing appreciation for every act of kindness, big or small, that others do for us.Gratitude can take many forms. It can be expressed by a large, dramatic gesture or it can be shown in a small way, like finding a very original and personal way to say thanks for a friend’s gift. Whatever we do to show our gratitude, we should do it in a sincere manner, for it is the feelings in our hearts that matters the most.The story reminds us how important it is to express our gratitude to the ones who have offered us help. We can never be too grateful. The smiles and the thanks we give help us to build a better world, one that we can all live in and enjoy.
   I am grateful, God gave me my kind parents, so I can grow in their love.
