A Speech

Boys and girls,

Today is a special day. We are very glad to hold the graduation ceremony of all the students of Grade 9. First of all, I’d like to congratulate all the students who have successfully completed junior high school. During the past three years in junior high school, you have gained a lot. Besides learning much knowledge in different subjects, you have also learned how to be a real person. I remember meeting all of you when you first entered this school. You were all so full of energy and thirsty for knowledge. But today, I see young adults who are full of talent and hope for the future. You’ve all grown up so much in the past three years, and I’m very happy. After graduating from junior high school, you will enter senior high school, where you will face more challenges. There will also be many exciting things waiting for you. But along with difficulty, behind each door you open, are chances to learn new knowledge. I hope you never give up when you meet difficulties. Learn to deal with difficulties. Only in this way can you have a better future. Lastly, I wish all our students good health and that everything goes well for you all!
