終於講完了幽默演講,星期三晚上還在寫稿,托Richard和Erin的福,給我不錯的建議與修正,所以星期四晚上開始安心背稿,星期五也一直背,然後就上台展現了!
需要改進的是笑點不夠多,所以我要在多增加自己的肢體語言和音調,加油!
能知道自己的不足真好,這樣我就能更加進步了!其實英文演講帶給我的壓力還真不小,這幾天覺得倍感壓力呢!
謝謝評審們還給了我努力的第三名獎,我還得感謝Erin因為講的太好而時間超過,所以給了我機會拿到漂亮的獎狀,謝謝!
My job is a math tutor, so a lot of friends think that I have a fine brain.Ican say that I am a great tutor because I have an enthusiastic attitude in my work and my students love me. These cards are powerful proofs.
Unfortunately, there is no rose without a thorn. I find my thorn is that I had a terrible disease. No doctor can heal my disease. Now I tell you my symptoms of the disease.
One day, I finished my class and went to my friend’s house.
We practiced dancing because we planed to hold a party on
that weekend.
After dancing, I couldn’t find the key to my motorcycle.
I felt very nervous and asked my friends to help me to
search.
I overturned my bag, searched my friend’s desks and floors
but I still didn’t find it.
My mind went blank at that time.
Suddenly, my friend told me that maybe you forgot to take
your key form the motorcycle.
When I heard this warning, I rushed to my parking area
and checked my key.
The awful news was that I didn’t see my key.
Fortunately, my motorcycle was still there.
“What could I do ?”I knew that I couldn’t tell my mom
because I made the same mistake on the day before that day.
My mom just warned me that I was old enough to take
care about my thing. I worried my mom would be very
angry. So I asked my friends to help me think of some
ideas.
One of my friends planed to see a movie at midnight. He
said that I could go with him to see a movie and come
home late.
My mom would be sleeping so she couldn’t blame me.
‘’That sounded a good idea!” So I called to my mom
immediately and informed her I would be late to home.
The day after that day, I woke up early and made a copy of
key. And my friend took me to ride my motorcycle.
Except losing my key, my amnesia made my younger
cousin have no bed quilt to sleep.
One morning, my aunt knocked at my door and asked me.
“Do you have time in the morning?”
“Yes. May I help you?” I said.
“Could you help me to dry my bed quilt for one hour?”
“Of course. I would help you to dry your bed quilt.”
After a few minutes, my grandmother knocked my door
and asked me to take her to Buddhist temple and the
market. She wanted to pray for peace for my
family and buy some foods in the market. And then, I
went out with my grandmother. When I came home, my
mother told me to take my young cousin home. Due to
having a lunch meeting with my friend, so I took my young
cousin with me. I didn’t see my friends for long time, so
we chatted for three hours.
When I came home, my cousin complained about me to
my mother because I chatted for so much time. After that
meeting with my friends, I started my work.
When I ended my work at 11pm at night. I felt very tired
when I came home,my mom sat down in the living room.
“Did you forget anything?” my mom asked me.
“No, I thought today I was a wonderful daughter because I
helped you to take care about your mother. And I never
made any mistake in my work.” I said.
“What did you promise to your aunt?” my mom tired to
remind me.
“No, I never gave her any promise. Was there anything
wrong?”
“You forgot to help her dry the bed quilt.”
“Oh! I really forgot it. ”
Due to my amnesia, I worry that I will make the same mistake to let me have no bed quilt to sleep. So I adopt some strategies to avoid the same situation.
Now I would prepare two kinds of notebooks to record my life. One is a monthly calendar, which records the most important things. The other is a notebook recording trivial things anytime.
These reminders are really helpful for me.
But it can’t help me to remember where is my key, so I decided to use the key chain. If the key become more beautiful, maybe I will treasure it.
Ladies and gentlemen, maybe your memory is better than mine or maybe it is similar, but I have learned the hard way the value of the old saying “The palest ink is better than the best memory.” Contest Chair.
