Good evening everyone. It’s my great honor to give a speech here. Today my topic is about the global financial crisis.

On September in 2008, the American subprime mortgage crisis （次级抵押贷款危机）which lasted more than one year gradually extended to the whole economy system to be a

economy crisis all over the world. Its coming not only makes the Untied States face a series of economic problem, but also

brings the economic market around the world a great shock: As a country, the Iceland has applied for the bankruptcy（破产）; Zimbabwe’s inflation（通货膨胀） has been out of control; Our neighbor, Korea, since its economic system gets closest to the United States, it suffers much more than other Asian countries in this economic storm. As for China, we are influenced a lot in this special year. A lot of factories in Guangdong and Fujian province suffered a lot :the difficulty in exporting lead the workers lay off, even make the factory break; A great number of students in universities also feel about the crisis, since it’s hard for them to find a job.

When walking along a street, an inevitable（不可避免的） phenomenon you will find is that lots of shops or markets are selling their goods at a discount; when visiting a countryside ,an

evident（明显的） situation you will discover is that many workers are staying in their hometown . Why ? That’s because the

financial crisis that originated on （起源于）Wall Street（华尔街） and swept the world has gone beyond the toy sector（部门） and bitten into the Chinese economy. Over the past six months, many labor-intensive（劳动密集型的） factories have shut down, leaving massive numbers of workers jobless. Although our

government has taken some effective measures to stimulate（刺激） the need of employment, we also can’t deny the fact that the situation is still serious. According to expects, the growth of Chinese GDP slowed to 9.9 percent down 2.3 percentage points from the same period last year and falling to single figures for the first time in five years.

However, as one of the newly developing countries in Asia, China has strict foreign exchange control and relatively

independent financial system, which can help to reduce the influence that the crisis would bring. Although China is not a utopia（乌托邦） in this storm, but we do worry less than the countries we referred to.

As a college student, I am concerned about this situation. Basing on expects, the graduates in this year are more than 5

millions. To my surprise, there are more than 1 million can’t find position. So it seems very important for us college students to consider what we should do in the intensely competitive society, particularly during this special background---international financial crisis.

From, my own perspective, we should do these following three points.

Firstly, objectively analyse our advantages and disadvantages, and choose an appropriate job. In addition, we should not attach too much importance to material aspects of the job.

Secondly, have a great ambition towards our future. Actually, this is a challenge for all of us, but under no circumstances, should we give up or give in. Therefore, never abandon our dream.

Last but not the least, learn more knowledge and improve our abilities as possible as we can. Only master extensive knowledge and lay a solid foundation can we have a promising and bright future.

Every man is the architect of his own fortune. No matter how terrible the economic is, I do believe that a brilliant and original person still can realize his value and make contribution to

our society.

It is my great honor to be with you today for the commencement.

First of all, please allow me, on behalf of all the graduate students, to show our

appreciation to all the teachers who have been teaching and guiding us in the past four years in this department and this school. Without your help, we would not make it here. Well, I have a suggestion here. All the graduate students please stand up.

Teachers, please remain in your seats. Let’s give our warmest applause to our dearest teachers. Thank you. Take your seat please.

Time flies! Four years have gone away in a blink. In these four years, the greeting party gave us warmth, the New Year party showed our passion, the writing contest cultivated our sentiment and the debate competition enhanced our logic. We experienced so much, and harvested so much. All these four years footprints have witnessed our growth. And then, step by step, we finally made it to the destination.

Graduation is not the end; it is the beginning. Graduation is only a concept. In real life, every day you graduate. Graduation goes on until the last day of our life. Today is the day we graduate from Capital Normal University and today is also the day we step into the university of society. We are going to carry forward the traditions and make achievements for ourselves, our parents, our school and our country. Here, my best wishes to every one of graduate student. We are confident that we are going to make it.

Again we want to thank all the teachers and wish them all the best!

Thank you. Thank you all very much!
