假设你是晨光中学的学生会主席李津。一批来自英国的高中生与你校学生开展了为期两周的交流活动。现在,他们即将回国,你将在欢送会上致辞。请根据以下提示写一篇发言稿。
1.回顾双方的交流活动(如学习、生活、体育、文艺等方面);
2.谈谈收获或感想;
3.表达祝愿与期望。
Dear friends,
How time flies! Two weeks went by before we realized that our exchange activities ended. On behalf of our school, I would like to express my feelings.
As scheduled, we took part in several instructive activities. We have learnt many Chinese characters and often took exercise together. We went to the restaurant to taste the Chinese traditional food. While visiting the art exhibition, we discussed the great artists' works.
As far as I'm concerned, everyone here is a member of our big family. And at last I sincerely wish you a pleasant trip to your country. I hope we'll get together again next year.
Thank you.
