Good morning, everyone.
I’m honoured to stand here to share how to take responsibility with you all. Responsibility is the essence of maturity，shaping our character and influencing our decisions. As high school students，we must learn to shoulder responsibilities.
We can start by being accountable for our own actions，admitting mistakes，and learning from them. Additionally，we should contribute to our community，whether it's through volunteering，helping classmates，or respecting our teachers and parents. Furthermore，managing our time wisely，balancing academics，extracurriculars and personal life is crucial.
I urge each of us to embrace responsibility. Let's lead by example，demonstrating maturity and reliability. Together，we can make a positive impact on our school and community.
That’s all. Thank you.

My mother believed in using things up. Last year, our cornfield had a bad harvest because birds feasted on the crops. It was probably then that Mum’s frugality(节俭)became even more extraordinary. She began keeping everything that seemed useless in the attic(阁楼)—worn-out clothes, old sheets, broken umbrellas, and some other old items. Mum’s favourite saying was “waste not, want not”. My brother Josh and I weren’t sure what that meant until the “Affair of the Scarecrow(稻草人)”, which, as it later became known, left a lasting impression on us.
The story began with a pretty hat that Mum received as a gift to protect her from the sun. However, Josh and I could see that Mum’s frugal nature and fashion sense were in battle. Mum really didn’t want to get rid of the hat—it was new and had a lot of use left in it—but neither could she stand wearing it. She tried to take off the fancy decorations, but they were stuck on tight. She’d have to find some other solutions.
Josh and I watched as Mum headed upstairs to the attic with the hat. “Waste not, want not,” she called back down. We heard boxes being moved around. Moments later, Mum leaned out, holding a flour bag full of straw, and with a mysterious smile, she placed the hat on it.
“What is that for?” I asked, confused. “A scarecrow!” Mum exclaimed. “But not a good one yet. It needs a strong body to stand firm in the field,” she said with a frown. “And it doesn’t look scary enough,” Josh remarked. I had to admit that Josh, though younger than I was, could sometimes be more imaginative. Josh and I turned to each other, searching for a good idea. Soon enough, Josh’s eyes lit up with inspiration.
Paragraph 1：
“Come with me!” Josh called out. The next instant，he raced upstairs with lightning speed. I hurried to follow him into the attic，where we began a thorough search. Mum was amused by our excitement when we found the broken umbrellas and used them as the backbone of the scarecrow. After that，we sorted out some old sheets and tied them on. The scarecrow now looked even scarier. We dragged our creation to the cornfield and planted it firmly in the mud，our hearts full of hope.
Paragraph 2：
In the days that followed, the scarecrow stood tall. Serving as a silent guardian，it successfully scared the birds away. Under its watchful eyes，our cornfield flourished this year. To our amazement，Mum's useless things from the attic had come together to create something extraordinary. As we enjoyed a good harvest，her favourite saying，"waste not，want not"，echoed in our hearts. The "Affair of the Scarecrow" has taught us the value of creatively transforming seemingly useless items into treasure，making us aware that frugality is a good quality after all.
