养成良好习惯，成就更好自己

敬爱的老师、亲爱的同学们：Dear teachers, and students:

　大家早上好!今天国旗下讲话的题目是《养成良好习惯，成就更好自己》。

 Good morning ! The topic of today's speech is: form good habits and achieve your better self.

“勤俭自古为美誉，节约至今是佳称”,近日，全社会掀起了勤俭节约的热潮。对于餐饮浪费现象我们“触目惊心、更令人痛心！”习近平总书记近日作出重要指示：强调在全社会营造浪费可耻、节约为荣的氛围。

 Conserving is a important part of today’s society. Recently, General Secretary Xi Jinping gave important orders as to emphasis that wasting food is a serious matter and we should put a stop to it. As until now, more and more Chinese citizens have realized how big the issue is and have stopped wasting as much as they used to.

“谁知盘中餐，粒粒皆辛苦。”中华民族一直有着勤俭节约的传统美德，而这份勤俭节约更是一种良好习惯和尊重他人劳动成果的表现。

Chinese people has always been educated to conserve as it is the tradition of the Chinese nation, which is a good habit and a way to show respect for the work of others

你知道吗？全球平均每年饿死的人口达300万。世界上每6秒钟就有一个儿童饿死。所以我们要更加珍惜粮食，不挑食，不浪费饭菜。在食堂就餐时，我们都要争当“光盘侠”，勤拿少取。同时我们也要节约用电、用水，做到人走灯灭。珍惜大自然馈赠给我们的每一份礼物。

Did you know that every year a average of 3 million people starve to death? And once every six seconds a child is starved to death. Imagine this, the average grains of rice a person eats each meal is five-thousand, if he or she wastes one tenth of it that means 500 grains of rice is going into the trash each person. That might not seem much, but if you multiply that number by 7.8 billion that equals 38 trillion grains of rice that can be fed to seven hundred and sixty million people. This tells us that cherish our resources and be thankful that nature gave it to us.

著名的教育家陶行知说过：“滴自己的汗，吃自己的饭，自己的事情自己干”。的确，人类用勤劳的双手创造了美好生活，创造了灿烂与辉煌的华夏文明。没有辛勤的劳动，就没有如今这样一个多彩缤纷的世界。但，劳动是艰苦的，它需要辛勤的汗水灌溉。那么，作为新时代的学生，我们要养成良好的行为习惯：自己的事情自己做，争做劳动小能手，用自己勤劳的双手创造属于自己的美好生活。

Mankind has created the world we see today for thousands and thousands of years. Without hard work there won’t be now or tomorrow. But working is an exhausting and tiring process that requires a lot of blood and sweat. We wouldn’t  need to build a civilization to fulfil our needs, we just need confidence and a strong will to keep us going to achieve our objectives.

同学们，新学期，新起点，新目标，金色的收获要从辛勤的耕耘开始。请你养成良好的习惯，珍惜食物。让勤俭节约的精神渗透到我们的一言一行之中，伴随我们一生，成就更好的自己!

The new semester comes with a new starting point and with that, we should catch up, work hard and strive for our dreams. Also remember that we should cherish our time and resources on the way, not only for us but also for Earth.

谢谢大家！

Thank you!
