Dear teachers and students,

Hello, everyone!I am Chen Liyuan, monitor of Class 2105, High school. It is my great honor to stand here today and make a speech under the national flag。The topic of my speech today is "Make a good summer Plan, Be the helm of Life".。

Summer vacation is coming, we always say that the greatest happiness and meaning of the holiday is the freedom。But when you really have such a period of free time, how many people can really feel the comfortable feeling of freedom？

Not long ago, we finished nearly two months of online learning。Whether we can grasp this opportunity of independent learning depends on whether we can arrange our time reasonably and enrich ourselves。To achieve efficient online learning，The students of class 2105 high school organized many colorful activities: online flag raising ceremony and speech under the national flag, class meeting learning experience sharing, group learning discussion, warm daily recorded in the group log, class committee before school day summary, Dragon Boat Festival theme class meeting, cooking knowledge contest...We play in school，Learning by play，I really spent my online class time efficiently。

Just as we just experienced online learning, summer vacation is also a good time for us to enrich ourselves。Maybe someone around you is already planning a vacation to fill in the gaps and review the preview work。Looking at other people's full schedule, you do not also have an impulse to roll up？When you are forced to start thinking "I want to take action" because of the plan of the people around you or the task assigned by the teacher, it is better to hold down the fire in the heart first, calm down and think carefully: What kind of holiday do I want to spend？Do not fall into the whirlpool of false efforts because of the form, recognize their goals, clear their ideas, according to their own learning pace, develop a clear, strong implementation of the summer vacation plan。

With a good vacation plan, your vacation is already half won。But more important is the implementation of the plan。Whether you can stick to your plan depends on your self-discipline。Self-discipline is never a simple two words。It may be a lonely time mixed with all kinds of tastes, it may mean a fierce struggle with the greed, laziness and depravity of the heart, it may be the pain of straining the strings of life。Self-discipline accumulates the thickness of life in every minute and every second, making our smile more firm and our progress more solid。Do belated regrets and guilt consume you after a day spent lounging in an air-conditioned room, eating snacks and using your phone？In hindsight, I realize that time passes quietly between my fingers like fine sand, whether I will complain bitterly about myself, and then feel powerless and tired？If so, get rid of the pain at its root。Focus on goals and plans, get rid of distractions, not be distracted by external temptations, do what you want, and spend a period of leisure time that you think is fulfilling and meaningful。

Romain Rolland once said, "The tighter the bowstring, the farther the sword of life shoots."。But don't forget that a stringed bow is more likely to break。Be disciplined when you should be focused, but rest is essential。When you are feeling very tired, it is better to stop what you are doing and allow yourself to relax。Talk to family and friends, visit a museum, read a good book...These active forms of rest are a good way to combine work and rest。

A short summer vacation can reflect your lifelong planning ability。Today's society is developing rapidly, and we are carried forward by the tide of The Times。Some people go with the flow, some people try to accommodate。The sails of life have been blown away by the sea breeze。But we don't need waves, we don't need boats, because we have our own sea。As Hermann Hesse said, "Man must find the source in his own self, and man must keep the source.。It is not wrong to tighten the heartstrings or relax。Find balance in your life。Make a sensible plan, focus on the present, pay action, live up to self and youth, and finally achieve true freedom。

Finally, I wish you all a full and meaningful summer vacation. Thank you!
