Hello, ma'am and everyone. My name is Huynh Ngoc Hoa. Here, I'd like to share my thoughts on gratitude towards those silently dedicating themselves to society.

Dear friends, our lives cannot be devoid of gratitude. Gratitude reflects the good character of each individual. After studying the text 'Dong dao mua xuan' by author Nguyen Khoa Diem, reflections on gratitude towards those who have silently dedicated themselves to society overflow within me.

So, what does gratitude mean? I believe it's the emotion of love and appreciation for the kindness of others who help us. It's also gratitude for those silently dedicating themselves to building our nation.

We know that in times of war, many young soldiers, hailing from different rural areas, when hearing the call of the homeland, are willing to leave their hometowns to fight for the peace of the nation. They silently contribute to the nation, and shared and nameless graves serve as testament to their sacrifice. Annually, to commemorate the soldiers who sacrificed to safeguard the land, the State always organizes memorial days to remember the contributions of these revolutionary soldiers. We also get to watch programs like 'Drink water, remember the source,' 'Journey of memories,'... immersing ourselves in the glorious years of the nation. Through these, we gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for those who gave their all, 'Determined to die for the homeland, determined to live.'

Today, in remote mountainous areas and far-flung islands, there are soldiers tirelessly guarding the skies and seas of the homeland. In society, there are still charitable individuals silently helping the poor, the disabled, and abandoned children. In the complex period of the Covid-19 pandemic, we also witness the dedication of doctors and researchers in developing vaccines and treatments.

However, in today's society, there are still ungrateful individuals, going against the traditional moral principle of 'Drink water, remember the source.' These people deserve criticism and condemnation for their indifferent and callous attitude towards the kindness shown to them by others.

As students, we need to nurture gratitude within ourselves. Cherish and love those individuals silently dedicating themselves to the country, as their noble contributions contribute to building a developed, rich, and civilized nation.

Thank you, ma'am and everyone, for listening to my presentation. I will take in the constructive feedback from you all to improve my speech to the best of my ability.

Hello, ma'am and everyone. My name is Ha Ngoc Minh. I'd like to share my thoughts and emotions about gratitude towards those silently dedicating themselves to society.

'Drink water, remember the source' is a beautiful and precious tradition of the nation. When studying the poem 'Encounter with rice grains' by poet Thanh Thao, thoughts about those silently dedicating themselves to society resonate within me. I'm sure after studying this poem, you also reflect on gratitude.

So, first, let's explore what gratitude is. Gratitude is the appreciation of others' feelings and kindness towards us. Gratitude helps individuals develop and refine their character, bringing about positive aspects in society.

Currently, we still express gratitude to those who silently sacrifice for the homeland. This is evident in the annual state-organized memorial days to remember soldiers who sacrificed on the battlefield. We value their dedication to national independence. It's not only during times of war; silent sacrifices also occur during peaceful times. At the border, soldiers steadfastly hold their guns to protect the country's territory. Volunteer teachers venture to remote villages to teach impoverished children. When visiting a struggling village, we might encounter a volunteer group silently supporting food for the locals. Their contributions in silence inevitably move and make us proud. We need to be grateful to them—the individuals building a beautiful nation without seeking praise or acclaim.

However, in today's society, apart from individuals silently dedicating themselves to the nation, there are still indifferent people going against the tradition of 'Reap what you sow.'

Dear friends, gratitude is extremely important in our lives. It's an age-old moral tradition; therefore, as the future custodians of the nation, we need concrete actions to preserve and promote this beautiful tradition.

Thank you, ma'am and everyone, for listening to my presentation.
