72、范文】Good morning, everyone.I am Li Hua from Xingguang Middle School. The topic of my speech is “Lets Ride Bicycles”.As is known to all, with the development of peoples living standards, cars have become a popular means of transport, bringing great convenience to our life. However, they have also caus
73、ed some problems such as air pollution and traffic jams. How can we solve the problems then? As far as Im concerned, riding bicycles is a good solution. For one thing, bicycles dont need any petrol and they are energy-saving. For another, bicycles are environmentally friendly because they wont give off waste gas. Whats more, riding bicycles is a good way for us to exercise and thus it is beneficial to our health. Therefore, lets take the responsibility to build up a low-carbon city by riding bicycles. Come on and join us! Thank you!
