32. How to Be a Good Listener

Welcome, dear audience: I hope you can hear me. I hope you are listening carefully now. Good listening is essential. It's a skill you must master. It's a requirement for success. Please listen to learn better. Please learn to listen better. That's the theme of my speech today.

Good listening is so important. It's a tremendous asset. It's a secret weapon. Good listeners get ahead. They move straight to the top. They excel in school, work and life. They are efficient learners. They are better communicators. They have better relationships, too.

However, most of us are poor listeners．Our minds tend to wander and go astray. We often hear but we don’t listen．Hearing is just receiving sounds．Listening is absorbing and processing information．There’s a world of difference between the two．We often appear to be paying attention．But in fact we are just faking it．Therefore，we miss valuable advice．

Always try to be a better listener. Try to overcome poor habits．Learn to resist distractions．You must take listening seriously. Realize it’s an active process．Realize it’s never passive like watching TV. It takes practice to improve．It requires effort and attention．It demands that you make sense of what you hear.

Concentration is the key. Concentrate on the message. Just focus and follow along. Be patient

and attentive. Be alert and "on your toes." Listen for main points and ideas. Don't jump to conclusions. Don't rush to make judgments. Keep your mind on what the speaker is saying.

In conclusion, let me say this. Don't take listening for granted. It's a challenging skill to acquire. Master the art of listening. Have a well-trained ear. You'll be rewarded for the rest of your life. Now, go clean out your ears! No more lame excuses! No more "in one ear and out the other!" Thank you all for listening attentively!

33. Ups and Downs in Life

Hello, everyone. I'm happy to see you all. I hope you enjoy what I have to say. I'd like to talk about life. Life is like a roller coaster. Life is a wild exciting ride. It's full of ups and downs. It's full of twists and turns. Here's some useful advice.

First, we must know that we cannot always succeed. No one wins every time. No one is perfect. You win some. You lose some. That is life. We should enjoy our successes. We should accept our failures. We must not let them get us down.

Third, we should treasure the good times in life. We must not take them for granted. They may not come again so soon. When we succeed we should be thankful. We should appreciate those who helped us. We should help them in return. Success is a powerful motivation. Once we succeed, we want to do so again. Once we taste it, we desire more.

Finally, we should keep our emotions in check. We must not let failure depress us. We must not let success go to our heads. We should not take our ups and downs in life too seriously. We shouldn't lose our heads. Both good and bad times are part of life. We cannot always control our fate. We cannot always determine the outcome. Sometimes we just have to accept it.

In conclusion, we will all experience ups and downs in life. They are inevitable. We cannot prevent them. What we can do is appreciate them. We can enjoy the good times. We can learn from the bad times. I hope my advice has helped you. I hope your life is filled with more ups than downs. Good luck in everything you do.

34. Let's begin!

Let's start on time. Let's get this show on the road. Warm greetings and welcome! Thank you for being here. Thanks for being punctual, too. I'd like to discuss punctuality. I think it's essential for everyone. Here are some thoughts about being on time.

First, being punctual is a sign of respect. It's an important courtesy. It's a required rule of etiquette. Being punctual means you care. You always make sure you're there. You're there on time because you're thoughtful and considerate. Punctual people value others. Being on time is their habit. Being on time is like second nature to them.

Second, being punctual reveals character. It lets us know what people are like. It's a great way to judge the quality of a person. Are they reliable? Are they responsible and mature? Can you trust and depend on them? The late person's reputation suffers. The late person often blames someone or something else. Be wary of this kind of person.

Third, remember that most people hate to wait. It's a disappointing and uneasy feeling. It makes some feel a little disrespected. Waiting ruins my mood. Waiting turns anticipation into apprehension. I start to worry or wonder what's wrong. Being late makes a bad impression.

Being late wastes other people's time. Many consider it a careless and rude thing to do. Fourth, make punctuality your habit. Always leave early for your date. Always give yourself plenty of time. Allot extra time for travel. Always show up ahead of time. Always get there early and wait. Plan ahead. Be prepared. Be ready for the unexpected.

In conclusion, there is no excuse for being late. There is no reason to make people wait. Be punctual for every appointment and date. Show your respect. Show your true colors. Make sure you're never late. That's it for today. That's all I have to say. Be on time, and you'll always be OK.

35. Happiness Lies in Contentment

Ladies and gentlemen: Wake up and be happy! Happiness is all around us! We are blessed with so much. We have so many reasons to be happy. We should be thankful and grateful all our lives. Happiness lies in contentment. Happiness is all up to you. Remember these tips to always be happy.

First, be content with whom you are. Be satisfied with your life. Realize that you are special and unique. You are an original creation. You are a masterpiece. Thank God for his great work in you. Don't compare yourself to others. Don't try to be someone else. Just accept who you are to be happy.

Second, be satisfied with what you have. Accept that it's enough to be happy. Accept that having more won't necessarily bring more happiness. Value your freedom and good health. Value your family, friends and good home. These simple joys are truly enough. True happiness never comes from material gains. True happiness is not a possession to search for. Real happiness is a satisfaction from within.

Third, be content with the present. Be happy with each day. Be satisfied with "the here and now." Enjoy the precious moments. Enjoy life whenever possible. That's what true happiness is all about. Experience each day to the fullest. Experience happiness in the little moments. Just focus on and be satisfied with the present.

Fourth, realize happiness is a choice. We decide if we want to be happy. We determine our level of contentment. We should accept life gracefully. Happiness doesn't depend on position. Happiness depends on disposition. Focus on the good things in your life. Choose to be happy. Choose to be satisfied and content.

In conclusion, remember happiness lies in contentment. Be grateful for what you have. Be grateful for who you are. Quit searching for happiness. Happiness is with you right now. Happiness is right here for us to enjoy. I wish you all the best. Be happy with your lives. Be satisfied with the simple pleasures.

40. The Importance of Examinations

Ladies and gentlemen: I'm glad to see such a great turnout.1 hope you like what I have to say. I'm here to talk about examinations. I suppose most of you dislike them. Very few people enjoy taking exams. You may think exams are difficult. You may even think they are not worthwhile. But in reality, exams are an important tool.

First of all, exams train us to study well. We learn how to study efficiently. We learn to prepare and be organized. These are valuable skills. They will prove useful all our lives. They will help us in school and on the job. School exams prepare us for the tests of life. They are a chance to improve our study methods. The efforts we make now will payoff forever.

Second, exams let us know our competence. They show us where our weak points are. They let us know where we need to improve. Without exams, we might never face our shortcomings. We would naturally avoid the subjects we are not good at. Exams force us to face our problems. Failing an exam is not a tragedy. It is an opportunity to do better next time. We can learn a great deal from exams.

Third, exams are a fair way to compete. Everyone must take the same exams. Everyone has an equal chance to succeed. Exams are unbiased. Exams show no favoritism. The results depend solely on our efforts. We may be rich or poor. We may be handsome or plain. We are all the same when we take an exam.

Finally, exams motivate us to study hard. We learn that hard work equals success. There is no shortcut to passing an exam. If there were no exams, we might become lazy. We might think we have studied enough. We'd never go the extra mile. Competition is good for us. It makes us do our best. It encourages us to do even better.

In conclusion, exams are important. They are an effective way to learn. They are a fair way to judge. We cannot escape examinations. They are a vital part of learning. But we can use them to our advantage. Instead of fearing exams, we should appreciate them. Only then will we be able to improve. Good luck to you in all your exams.
