問題詳情:
Some people express themselves through beautiful art; others are masters of the page and speak silently through writing. I,on the other hand, express myself with the greatest instrument I have, my voice.
Nothing gives me more satisfaction than public speaking. At age eight I started giving speeches in local competitions. Soon I was able to participate in (參加)state competitions. During March of eighth grade, I had the best opportunity ever to practice my speaking skills. I was chosen, out of all the students entered in New Hampshire,to write and read a four-minute speech on national television. My job was to introduce Elizabeth Dole,who at the time was interested in running for president.
I was notified the day before the event and so had only one night to write and memorize my speech. When I arrived the next morning in Belford,New Hampshire, I was greeted by photographers and newspaper reporters! Soon it was time for my speech. I had a feeling of complete excitement flowing through my body. When I finished,everyone stood up and clapped. Mrs. Dole surprised me by giving me a great hug and thanking me for my comments (評論)on the importance of education. But even after she finished speaking, the excitement was far from over.
Since then I have participated in different competition and events. My favorite by far was Young Chatqua, a wonderful summer program. In Chatqua I gave a speech on the life of Margaret Bourke-White, a pioneer photographer, in a 12-minutc speech that took a month to research, prepare,and memorize. It was the most amazing experience of my life.
After Chatqua, I participated in my first play, Everybody’scrazy,and I am now organizing a debate (辯論)team. I plan to continue competitions,do volunteer work, go to Chatqua next summer, and hopefully participate in the American Legion’s Oratorical Contest next year.
