Ladies and gentle manits my great honor to be here to present you this speech about culture diversity and integration.Culture diversity based on the development of history. In ancient times, the world was split into several parts with little contact. The various environments breed diverse culture.

The graceful historic sites have irreplaceable value in the modern city. They are the symbol of the ancient civilization.Second, the mission of the school is to afford students culture classes in order to reinforce the culture education, which assist the children to understand our national cultureThirdly, the government should devote to advertise the magnificent traditional culture by holding a multitude of Chinese culture festivals abroad during our holiday to make the foreigners acquaint with the exclusive Chinese culture.Finally, developing and innovating the national culture serves as a bridge to flourish our culture. For example, cheongsam t:sm 旗袍, as one of the most characteristic clothes in china, recently seldom people wear it in daily life. Maybe we can change the pattern and design of the cheongsam
