　　Teachers and fellow students,
　　As we all know, an 8.0 earthquake broke out at 2:28pm on May 12th in Wenchuan, Sichuan Province.　　
　　It’s reported that the earthquake was so strong that it has caused 68,109 deaths and 364,552 people were hurt. Many houses and schools were destroyed and as a consequence, more than five million people are living a hard life now. Just imagine how the students there need help and that schools should be built so that students can return to classes soon.
　　People all over the world are trying their best to help them, not excepting us. Here Students’Union calls on everyone to give away your old clothes and pocket money and bring your used books, mp3s or something else to sell in the bring-and-buy sale. All the materials and the money to be collected will be sent to the earthquake stricken areas as soon as possible.
　　My fellow friends, “blood is thicker than water”(血浓于水). Please donate your love and give out your hands without hesitation. We believe miracles can be created, a great many lives will be saved and the harmonious society is sure to be achieved.
That’s all. Thank you.
