Self-introduction

Ladies and gentlemen:

It’s great to be here!

I’d like to introduce myself.

My name is Pat. I’m a student.

I come from Beijing.

I’m and outgoing person.

I love to meet people.

Meeting people is my forte.

I’m very frugal.

Money doesn’t burn a hole in my pocket.（我不会乱花钱）

But I like to be generous with my friends.

I have many hobbies. I enjoy many things.

I like reading, exercising, and traveling.

Traveling is my life. I love to travel.

I’m not a stick in the mud. （不常走动的人，喜欢待在一个地方的人）

I’m always on the go.（不断地走动，忙个不停）

I’m always on the move. （在走动，在动个不停）

I would never let the grass grow under my feet. （某人待在一个地方不动）I’m a rolling stone. （好动的人）

I can’t keep still.

I can’t stay in one place too long.

I want to see the world.

I want to see the unseen.

I want to do what’s never been done before.

My ambition is to be a great English teacher.

Teaching English is my passion.

Mastering English is my goal.

I won’t accept mediocrity.

I want to grow.

I want to improve all aspects of my life, physically, spiritually, and academically.

I’m willing to work hard.

I’m willing to pay the price.

I’m prepared to go the distance,（坚持到底）through thick and thin（不顾

甘苦）, in good time or bad, （不畏艰难，无论是好是坏）under any circumstances.（在任何情况下）

I work like a madman.

I word like a maniac.

I’m relentless in the pursuit of my goal.

I have some drawbacks.

First, I’m always changing my mind.

This is something I want to work on.（努力）

Second, I have a bad sense of direction.

I often get lost. When I’m with another person, I always let him guide me.

Third, I’m a forgetful person. I often misplace things.

I’m the type of person who is always losing things.

What is worse, I’m not very smart.

My IQ is very low.

I can only do one thing at a time. （一次）

I can only pay attention to what’s important.

When I want to do something, I want to do it well.

I hate to do it halfway. I have my good qualities.

Number one: I’m a team player. （有团队精神的人）

I’m a person of responsibility.

I seldom complain.

I seldom lose my temper. I’m a person of action.（行动家，会做事的人）Number two: I’m optimistic. I’m happy-go-lucky. （乐观的，随遇而安的）I always look on the bright side of things.

I’m a person who cares about others.

My motto is: Play hard, study hard, and work hard.

I do as much as I can every day.

I don’t waste any time

God only gives us a certain period of time.

He wants us to make the best use of it.

He wants us to enjoy it.

Enjoy life while you’re still young.

Don’t miss any opportunities.

Don’t pass up （放弃，拒绝）any good chances.

Life is short.

Life is sweet.

Life is precious.

Go for broke. （全力以赴，孤注一掷）

Live for the moment.

I live my life like there is no tomorrow.

Live it up.（尽情享受人生）

Try new things.

Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow may never come.

I don’t care if I live a long or short life.

To me, quality is more important that quantity.

I want to live each day as my last.

Yesterday is history.

Tomorrow is a mystery.

Today is present.

My philosophy of life is: I will try to help the people around me.

The closer they are to me, the more I like them. People are a good investment.

Helping people is an investment in heaven.

This kind of investment will earn high interest.

Love and be loved.（爱人者，人恒爱之）

Live and let live. （谚语，自己活也让别人活，相互帮助，相互宽容）

If the people around me are happy, I’m happy.

I like making friends with people.

I hope we’ll become good friends.

Thank you.

God bless you.

Have a great day.

How to Master English

Ladies and gentlemen:

It’s an honor to be here.

I’m anxious to share a secret.

English is everywhere.

English is a key to success.

We must master it.

So many people study English.

So few can speak it well.

What is the problem here?

People study the wrong material.

People use the wrong methods.

We are wasting our time.

I’ve researched every method.

I’ve tried them all from A to Z. Old methods are not useful. Traditional methods are too limited.

They teach only one sentence for each idea.

If we forget it, we’re out of luck. （完了）

We learn “Situational Dialogues,”like going to the post office, or visiting the doctor. Do we have any chance to use them? The answer is “No.”

We can’t go to the post office every day to practice English.

We can’t expect people to talk based on the situational dialogues.

If we don’t use them, how can we remember them?

Luckily, now we have invented a shortcut.

We have found a new method of learning English.

I’d like to introduce a specially designed speech draft.

In this draft, three sentences are one unit.

Each unit connects with another.

They are all linked together like a chain.

The content is common and simple.

It’s made up of everyday American speech.

By using the material in the speech, you can speak great English.

By memorizing one speech, you will start to speak English.

By memorizing ten speeches, you will become fluent in English.

By memorizing twenty, you will speak better than native English speakers.

The reason for that is you have been trained to speak well.

The sentences you speak have been carefully selected.

Memorizing the speeches has the following benefits：

Number one: You can practice alone. You can speak to yourselves.

You don’t need a conversation partner.

Number two: Whenever you feel lonely or depressed, you can practice a speech.

Did you notice that monks chant scriptures over and over（一再反复地）? Reciting the speech again and again can give you peace of mind. （心灵平静）

Number three: Since the speeches are carefully designed, they are easy to remember.

Anyone can learn them.

Anyone can remember them.

With them, you can easily learn to speak English in threes. （三句为一组）Speak three sentences in a row. （连续）

Then, you can say one sentence after another nonstop like you’re making a speech.

Number four: The speeches inspire.

The speeches are great for learning.

They build confidence and language skills at the same time.

Ladies and gentlemen, with the speeches you will excel.

Practice and memorize the speeches. There is no better way.

Don’t wait.

Don’t hesitate.

Now is the time to change the way you learn English.

But, remember, to speak English fluently requires four more things: First, practice, practice, practice

Repetition is the key.

Speak up.（大胆说）

Speak loudly.

Right or wrong, always be heard.

Be confident. Be fearless.

You must make mistakes to improve.

Speaking English is most important.

Make conversation your priority.

Writing, reading, and listening will follow.

Second, teach others English.

Help them and you help yourselves.

You will improve too.

Teaching is the best motivation for memorizing the speech.

You will never get sick and tired of （对……感到厌烦）teaching the speech. The more you teach, the more articulate you will be.

Third, try like hell. （拼命努力）

Immerse yourselves.

Eat, drink and sleep （时时刻刻想着）English.

Go nuts. （发疯）

Go bananas. （发疯）

Be an English maniac.

Be a sponge.

Soak English up.（吸收）

Seek every opportunity to speak.

Fourth, enjoy English! Make English your love.

Make learning and progress fun.

Put English first.

You need to have passion.

English requires commitment.

To sum up,（总之）memorizing the speeches is the way to go.

So many students say they don’t have the chance to practice English. Wrong!

With the speeches, the chance is everywhere.

The initiative is with you.

The ball is in your court.

Practice, speak, and talk

Practice until you get fluent.

Speak and talk until you become hoarse.

Your confidence will soar.

Your progress will amaze everyone.

You won’t want to stop speaking English.

Let’s roll. （我们开始吧）

Take action now.

English is waiting for you.

Thanks very much.

It’s always a pleasure.

Have a lovely day.
