尊敬的各位老师、亲爱的同学们：

Dear teachers and classmates

大家好！我是来自广东省深圳市南山外国语集团香山里小学的赵羽茜，非常荣幸能够参加中外儿童分享汇活动，今天我演讲的题目是《践行低碳生活 共享澜湄美丽家园》。

Hello everyone! I am Zhao Yuqian from Xiangshanli Primary School of Shenzhen Nanshan Foreign Language School Group in Guangdong Province. I appreciate to participate in this international Children's Sharing Activity. The title of my speech today is "Practicing Low-Carbon Lifestyle and Sharing the Beautiful Homeland of the Lancang-Mekong River".

我们经常在网络和电视上看到“低碳生活”这个词。那么，什么是低碳生活呢?低碳，顾名思义，是降低二氧化碳的排放量，即低能量、低消耗、低开支的生活，是一种正在发生着的新的生活方式。

We often see the term "low-carbon life" on the internet and television. So, what is low-carbon life? Low-carbon, as the word suggests, refers to the reduction of carbon-dioxide emissions, which means a low energy, low consumption, and low-cost lifestyle. It is an emerging new way of life.

作为一名小学生，面对低碳生活时代的到来，我和我的学校是这样做的，用餐时，推行光盘行动，力争人人光盘，餐后的厨余垃圾会被利用起来，送到堆肥箱开始新的旅程，在这里，我们在老师的指导下把垃圾堆出不同的肥料，这些肥料会分类输送到种植基地，给那里的蔬菜提供营养，实现了真正的有机循环。

As a primary school student, in the face of the arrival of the era of low-carbon life, my school and I do this. When we eat, we advocate the 0-leftover Campaign, and strive to make everyone take such actions. The kitchen waste will be composted. Under the guidance of our teachers, we heap garbage into different fertilizers, which will be delivered to the planting base to provide nutrition for the vegetables there, and thus we create a true organic cycle.

学校附近要建污水净水厂，周边居民有不一样的看法，我们作为低碳生活时代的公民，必须要有责任意识，在进行了项目调研、查阅资料和实地考察三个环节后，我们形成了完整的考察报告，在社区内分享了报告和目前先进的污水处理技术，打消了社区居民的顾虑。

A sewage treatment plant was planned near the school, and the surrounding residents feel against it. As citizens of the low-carbon life era, we must have a sense of responsibility. After conducting project research, consulting materials, and conducting on-site inspections, we formulated a complete inspection report. After sharing the report and the current advanced sewage treatment technology within the community, the concerns of community residents was dispelled.

运动会上，我们举办了特色报纸运动会，以环保为主题，用废旧的报纸制作运动会道具，同学们各显神通，制作了报纸连体衣、掷远的报纸球和报纸车轮，一场低碳好玩的运动会就此展开，除了节能还有快乐。

At the sports meeting, we held a special newspaper sports event with the theme of environmental protection. We used waste newspapers to make sports props, and the students showed their abilities. They made newspaper jumpsuits, newspaper balls, and newspaper wheels. We had a low-carbon sports event which saves energy and full of fun.

我们还在老师的带领下，充分利用校园楼顶的绿化空间，用植物的枯枝，废旧的绳子，设计搭建了我们学校的澜湄童创自然角，即可以进行自然探索和学习的“香山花园”。看着我们的校园，我们的城市，我们的国家，因为我们的低碳行为变得更加美丽，变得更加健康，是的，这就是我们儿童力量，这就是我们改变的世界。我们一定会在低碳生活上继续前行！

Under the guidance of our teachers, we made full use of the green space on top of the campus buildings to design and build our school's Nature Corner, which is a Garden for natural exploration and learning, using dry branches of plants and reused ropes. Our campus, our city, and our country, all have become more beautiful and healthy because of our low-carbon initiative. Yes, this is our power of, and this is the world we have changed. We will definitely continue to move forward in advocating low-carbon lifestyle!

除了我和我同学的努力以外，通过澜湄童创自然角行动，我们也了解到泰国、老挝的朋友们在保护环境方面的一些有创意的做法。期待有朝一日，我们能够共同漫步在美丽的澜沧江和湄公河畔，共话繁荣与梦想。

In addition to the efforts of my classmates and me, we have also learned about some creative practices of friends in Thailand and Laos in protecting the environment through the Lancang-Mekong Children's Creation of Nature Corner Action. We look forward to walk together with our friends along the beautiful banks of the Lancang and Mekong Rivers, discussing our aspiration of a more prosperous future.

我的演讲完毕，感谢大家的倾听！下面，有请我的泰国朋友xxx介绍一下他们与湄公河的故事，有请！

Thank you for listening to me! Let me invite my friend xxx from Thailand to introduce their story about the Mekong River. Thank you!

大家好！我是泰国曼谷市岱密中学的一年级学生刘乒乓。我们学校去年组织我们参加了中国儿童中心举办的“湄澜童创自然角”活动。这是一个湄公河、澜沧江沿岸不同国家的少年儿童联合在一起的环境保护活动。

Hello everyone! I am Liu Pingpang, a first-year student at Daimi High School in Bangkok, Thailand. Last year, our school organized us to participate in the "Children Innovation Nature Corner" event organized by the China Children's Center. This is an environmental protection activity where children and adolescents from different countries along the Mekong and Lancang Rivers work together.

在这个活动中，我和我的小伙伴做了很多努力。首先，我们上网查询资料，了解湄公河、澜沧江沿岸的各个国家自然环境及生态保护的情况。随后，我们通过画笔抒发了自己对环境保护的理解和共同保护地球妈妈的小小心愿，创建了属于我们自己的自然角。

In this activity, my friends and I made a lot of efforts. Firstly, we search for information online to understand the natural environment and ecological protection of various countries along the Mekong and Lancang rivers. Subsequently, we expressed our understanding of environmental protection and our small wish to jointly protect Mother Earth through paintings and our own natural corner.

我们了解到，联合国设立17个可持续发展目标，意在确保人类社会可持续性发展。作为未来的主人，我们要肩负责任，为地球未来的世世代代创造更好的生活条件！同饮一江水，共住地球村！我们期待未来能有更多的机会参与这些活动，与澜湄各国的儿童一起，共同为我们的地球做更多有益的事情！

We understand that the United Nations has set 17 sustainable development goals aimed at ensuring the sustainable development of human society. We will become the main force of our society in future, we must shoulder our responsibility to create better living conditions for the future generations of the Earth! We live along the same river, and in the same village of the Globe! We look forward to more opportunities to participate in these activities in the future, and work together with children from countries of Lancang and Mekong River Basin to do more beneficial things for the Earth!
