金桂送爽山河美，丹桂飄香慶輝煌。9月28日，南外外國語學(xué)校方山分校的師生們齊聚一堂，舉行主題為“懷感恩之心，唱祖國贊歌”主題升旗儀式活動，熱烈慶祝中華人民共和國成立71 周年。

It was a beautiful autumn day and the air was rich with osmanthus. On September 28th, NFLSFC teachers and students gathered together to hold a flag-raising ceremony entitled “Singing for Our Motherland with Appreciation”, celebrating the 71st anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

“升國旗，奏國歌。”伴隨著雄壯的《義勇軍進行曲》，升旗手迎風(fēng)振臂，鮮艷的五星紅旗冉冉升起，在晨光下熠熠生輝。全體師生莊嚴肅立，凝神注目國旗，深懷對祖國無限的熱愛和崇高的敬意。

The flag-raising ceremony began with the solemn “ March of the Volunteer”. The flag-raiser threw the bright five-star red flag with it rising slowly and shining. All the teachers and students stand solemnly and salute the national flag, showing their love and paying tribute to our motherland.

小學(xué)學(xué)段的姜秉德、陳希曌、程韻燃、唐夕童、胡元夏同學(xué)們歌唱了《祖國，祖國我們愛你》，將他們濃濃的愛國之情融入在歌聲里，表達著對祖國母親的美好祝福。

NFLSFC Primary School students Jiang Bingde, Chen Xizhao, Cheng Yunran, Tang Xitong and Hu Yuanxia sang “We Love You- Our Motherland”, incorporating their strong patriotism into the singing and expressing their best wishes to the motherland.

高一（二）班的孔歆研同學(xué)帶來了題為《懷感恩之心，唱祖國贊歌》的主題演講，發(fā)自內(nèi)心地深情表達出對祖國的滿腔熾熱和贊美。

Kong Xinyan from Grade 10 Class 2, gave a speech entitled “Singing for Our Motherland with Appreciation”, showing the strong passion and praise for our motherland.

升旗不僅是一個莊嚴隆重的儀式，也是一種愛國主義教育，更是揚起了理想的風(fēng)帆。讓我們砥礪奮進，闊步前行，用奮斗的青春告白祖國。

Flag-raising is not only a solemn ceremony, but also a kind of patriotic education, inspiring the students to realize their dreams and achieve their goals. Let us forge ahead and devote ourselves to our country with the youth of struggle.
