We are also glad to see so many of the workers here who helped during that terrible disaster. Everyone is so proud of all of you. Did you know that some of the survivors helped others before they helped themselves? Its true: many thousands of survivors worked hard to save others and to make them feel more comfortable. Soldiers worked hour after hour; day after day, almost without rest to help those who needed it. We are so thankful to them as well. Now we see around us a new city, but the spirit of its people has always been strong. How lucky I feel to live in such a place and to see this beautiful new park where families can come to enjoy nature. This park also honours the survivors of the quake and those who saved them. It honours the many thousands who rebuilt our city. We are indeed the “Brave City of China.” Thank you. Why an outline is important? What should an outline conclude? Why a headline is important?
