On the first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. “Hi, girl! My name is Rose, I’m 87 years old.”

“Why are you in college at such a young age?” I asked jokingly.

“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she replied.

Rose became a college symbol this year and she easily made friends with other students.

At the end of the term we invited Rose to speak at our football party. I’ll never forget what she taught us.

“We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only two secrets to staying young, being happy and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die!” she said.

“There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do anything, you will turn 20 years older. If I am 87 years old, and stay in bed for a year, and never do anything, I will turn 88. Anybody can grow older. But every minute counts for young men,” she added.

She ended her speech by singing The Song of Rose. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics(歌詞) and live then out in our daily lives.

At the end of the year, Rose finished the college education she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.

Making a public speech is the thing that most people don’t want to do. The reason is that we are all afraid of making mistakes in front of others. The more important the speech is, the more frightened we will be. But forget it now. Public speaking is easy. It’s just a simple talking. Although I’m a shy man, I’ve been making speeches and talking on radio and television for more than 30 years. Anybody who can talk can speak in public. Here are some of the lessons I have learned:

Keep your speech simple. Your audience can’t take all of your main ideas, and they can only remember one or two of them, not ten or twenty. So you should prepare one or two of your main ideas very well. But if you can’t express what you want to say, then your audience will not pay attention to your speech. And if you don’t have a clear idea of what you want to say, your audience won’t, either.

Organize your speech well. No matter how long or short your speech is, you have to organize your speech — how you are going to begin, what main points you want to make and how you’re going to end. A strong end is usually very important and critical(關(guān)鍵的): the last thing you say is what your audience will most likely remember. If not, they will be confused.

Keep your speech short. The standard length of a speech is usually 12 minutes. Most people can’t put their minds in one thing for too long time, which will make them tired and lose their interest. If you pay no attention to your audience’s reaction(反應(yīng)), the audience will get bored. Of course, your speech will fail.

Following these suggestions above, you can make a good speech in public, and you will be an excellent speaker, I think.
