All the counties must work together for the world when vaccines are found. The world needs to prevent vaccine nationalism. "Vaccine nationalism only helps the spread of COVLD-19." Tedros said. He warned that if only a small number of countries got most of the vaccines. COVTD-19 would last longer. "Like an orchestra (交响乐团), we need all instruments to be played in harmony to create music that everyone enjoys." he said.

Honesty is a long-lasing virtue (美德) not only for the Chinese people, but also for the people all over the world. But many people behave that In the marked economy (经济) society, honesty will disappear someday in the future. For example the food safely problem influences all need people, From a one month old baby to an old person. This shows that some people are not honest. That's too bad. If everyone is not honest. How can we trust each other? Yel. every year. inner the college entrance exams (高考), some companies will find the students who got the highest mark in the exam. They ask him or her to be in an advertisement.
In the advertisement, the student tells us he or she has used the company's leaning products and then got No. I in the exam. In fact, it's not easy for students to become No. 1. Most of them succeed not because of the products, but their proper ways of learning and hard work. I has nothing to do with the products. But they do so for getting some money. So our society is facing an honesty problem. If we can't deal with it well. the society will worse and worse in morality(道德). We will be led to a terrible society that I daren't imagine. Honesty is important. I expect everyone to keep it in mind. |
