Good morning, everyone! Today my topic is “Respect and Care for Our Parents”. Showing respect for parents has always been one of the traditional virtues of Chinese people. However, there are some students who often argue with their parents and don’t care for them at all. In my opinion, everyone must respect and care for his parents. No matter what happens, do not shout at them. Talk to them often, and then we’ll get to understand them better. What’s more, do something to show you love them. For example, we should remember their birthdays and give our best wishes to them. We should help them do something that we can.

That’s all for my speech. Thank you!
