There are many people in the world who like to talk about selfishness, and almost every one of them says that selfishness is a depraved thing. I agree with them.

Now, let's first make sure what selfishness is. Here is a story for you. There was once a dog and a cat sitting by a kitchen door. When the cook came out and threw several pieces of meat to them, they both sprang to get the meat, but the dog was the stronger, and ate it all himself. Was this wrong? No, the dog knew no better.

But men are different from dogs and follow a different rule of conduct. If everyone were to care only for himself, how miser-able we would all be. Suppose you and I were as selfish as the cat and the dog, what constant fighting there would be between us.

Well, in the world, there are certainly some people who are as selfish as beasts. Men who are great lovers of themselves always think they are wise and they enjoy wasting the public. Every one of them likes to think he is the center of his action. Certainly, some self-lovers will even set the house of others on fire only to keep themselves warm. Maybe they will soon get what they want, what they like and even what they love. But the most im-portant thing is that they themselves will become sacrifices to the god of fortune.

We ought to be thankful that we have a higher nature than that of beasts. People should be able to see and feel the duty of being kind and affectionate to one another. Although many self-lovers are laughing at us, we still have the word," selflessness". With so many people who have the spirit of selflessness, we should believe that tomorrow will be wonderful.

When there is selfishness, there is selflessness. The topic of my speech is selfishness. It doesn't mean that I forget to add the word "selflessness", but I think selflessness always stays with us.

点评:

I appreciate the little writer's simple but exquisite demon-stration. It's valuable for a young kid to think about the topic of self-ishness and selflessness unconsciously.

The whole article is well-arranged and her views are clearly supported. It starts with a fairy tale, making readers deeply ab-sorbed. The suggestive ending also gets readers to think more.

However, the structure and the words selection are to be im-proved.
