第七届全国英语演讲比赛冠军得主演讲稿(7)

                  ensure a smooth transition from the planned economy to a
                  market-based one? How to construct a legal system that is
                  sound enough and broad enough to respond to the needs of a
                  dynamic society? How to maintain our cultural identity in an
                  increasingly homogeneous world? And how to define greatness in
                  our rise as a peace-loving nation? Globalization entails
                  questions that concern us all.
                  Like many young people my age in China, I want to see my
                  country get prosperous and enjoy respect in the international
                  community. But it seems to me that mere patriotism is not just
                  enough. It is vitally important that we young people do more
                  serious thinking and broaden our mind to bigger issues. There
                  might never be easy answers to those issues such as
                  globalization, but to take them on and give them honest
                  thinking is the first step to be prepared for both
                  opportunities and challenges coming our way. This is also one
                  of the thoughts that came to me while preparing this speech.
