Perhaps the country's geographic location contributes to Icelanders' happiness. Located in the middle of the North Atlantic, with Greenland as its nearest neighbor, Iceland is free from the taboos(禁忌)that cause so much suffering elsewhere.

One possible version: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! Here, in front of you stands a girl, easy-going and optimistic. I’m not a top student but I’m happy and full of confidence. Now I’ll tell you why. As a child, I showed great interest in painting. At the age of five, I began to learn it. With my parents’ support and encouragement, I became a member of the out-of-class painting group of our school. Since then, I have been practicing drawing with joy and make progress every day. I have already won many prizes in all kinds of competitions. Now I am a designer for blackboard and wall newspapers of our class, often painting pictures to beautify our class or campus. On some occasions, I usually send nice postcards to my friends and relatives, and they are all made by myself. They’ll be glad to accept my gifts and praise me. You can’t imagine how proud I am! My dear friends, I’m sure everyone is special and unique in the world. Let’s be proud of ourselves! Thank you .
