I feel greatly honored to deliver a speech here,the topic of which is “The power of music”.
Two years ago,I didn't do well in the Academic Test for the Junior High School Students,for which I felt rather depressed and even lost confidence in myself.Those days,I listened to some of my favorite songs,which brought great happiness to me and made me stronger in mind.Since then I have made up my mind to study harder.

Music plays an important part in our life.Not only can it help me feel relaxed,but it can also make me more determined.Have you ever heard a piece of music and remembered an important time in your life?

I spent 15 years trying to make it in the music industry.When I was a teenager, I did any odd job to afford time in a recording studio.I knocked at managers' doors and sent out demo (录音样带) after demo, but I got nowhere. In 2010, aged 27, I was doing a job in a restaurant when I wrote a song called Dream Goes On.It was a song about never giving up.I just let out all of my frustrations at the keyboard.
Over the next five years, the music career never materialized but I persisted.Then, in 2019, I uploaded Dream Goes On to a music-sharing website. I just wanted someone to notice my music.
Later that year, I received an email out of the blue from Music World from South Korea, requesting a license for the song.They had chosen my song from the millions on the music-sharing website for a theme tune for one of their shows.I was amazed and negotiated a contract for $5,000 for the use of the song and signed up straight away.I was pretty excited, but didn't think anything more would come of it, so I focused on my job in the restaurant.
This February, Music World organized a musical festival in Seoul and my song Dream Goes On was also chosen as the theme tune for the festival.I watched on YouTube as my song was being played to a huge crowd of people.It was amazing.
After three days of the festival, I was contacted by Music World and they asked if I'd like to go to Seoul to sing Dream Goes On in a concert.They flew me out there the next day.I was welcomed like a celebrity—everyone I met thought I was a big name in England.I had to break the news to them that I wasn't a pop star.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
I had never performed the song live, and hadn't been on stage for years. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Backstage in Seoul, I felt excited but very nervous.The crowd's cheers were loud, and my hands shook with nerves.But when I walked onto the stage and the spotlight shone on me, my fear went away.As the music started, I felt strong and sang with all my heart, filled with the feelings of my long journey. The audience loved it and sang with me.In that moment, I felt like my dream had finally come true.
After the concert, I had photographers and journalists battling to interview me. ____________________________________________________________

They were curious about my story and how I kept going all these years.I talked to them, and soon my story was everywhere online.Videos of my performance were shared a lot on social media, and my song started to get more popular.Overnight, I changed from being a restaurant worker to a rising star.Music World offered me a record deal, and I got invited to more big events.I realized that never giving up really does pay off, and dreams can come true, just slowly.
