Ladies and gentlemen,
Thank you for coming today to attend the graduation ceremony at No. 3 Junior High School. First of all, I’d like to congratulate all the students who are here today. I remember meeting all of you when you were just starting Grade 7 at this school. You were all so full of energy and thirsty for knowledge. And yes, some of you were a little difficult to deal with! But today I see a room full of talented young adults who are full of hope for the future. You’ve all grown up so much and I’m so proud of you.
Although you’ve all worked very hard over the last three years, none of you could have succeeded by yourselves. Along the way, I’m sure many people have helped and supported you. I’d like you to remember to thank all of these important people in your lives — your parents, your teachers, your classmates and your friends. Please consider what they’ve done for you and what they mean to you. Never fail to be thankful to the people around you.
Lastly, the end of junior high school is the beginning of a new life. I don’t need to tell you that life in senior high school will be harder and that you have many difficult tasks ahead of you. You’ll make mistakes along the way, but the key is to learn from your mistakes and never give up. But along with difficulties, there will also be many exciting things waiting for you. Behind each door you open are chances to learn new things, and you have
the ability to make your own choices. Choose wisely and be responsible for your decisions and actions. Although you have to go your separate ways now, I wish that in a few years’ time, you’ll come back to visit our school. As you set out on your new journey, you shouldn’t forget where you came from. The future is yours.
Good luck and hope to see you again soon sometime!
女士们先生们：
感谢大家今天来参加第三初级中学的毕业典礼。首先，我想祝贺在座的所有同学们。还记得你们刚步入校园开始七年级学习生活时的样子，个个都朝气蓬勃，渴望学习。当然你们当中的确有些同学难以对付！但是今天，我看到满堂都是有才干的年轻人，对自己的未来充满期望。你们成长了许多，我为你们感到无比自豪。
虽然在过去三年时光里你们都非常努力学习，但你们都不是单枪匹马作战。我希望你们记住所有出现在你们生命中的重要人—— 父母，老师还有朋友，他们都帮助和支持过你们。请认真想想他们为你们做过什么，他们对你来说意味着什么。永远不要忘记对你身边的人心存感恩之情。
最后，初中生活的结束其实是新生活的开始。你们一定知道，高中的学习生活将更加艰难，而且你们将会面临许多困难。你们一路上都会犯错误，但重要的是你们要从错误中汲取教训并且永不放弃。然而除了困难，也有许多让人兴奋的事情在前方等着你。在每一扇你打开的大门后面蕴藏地是学习新事物的就会，你有能力做出自己的选择。选择要明智，并要为自己的决定和行为负责。虽然你们现在都要开始自己的旅程，但我希望不久以后，你们能回母校看看。在你踏上新的旅程的时候，必要忘记你来自哪里。未来属于你们！
同学们，祝你们好运！期望早日与你们再见！
