Answer the questions.
1 What was Sarah’s problem?
2 How did music help her during her difficult time?
3 What is her advice to others?
Sarah had a serious disease which was difficult to cure.
It made her feel much better because it is the “medicine of the mind”.
Her advice to others is to use music to help when you have problems.
Good morning! My name is Sarah Williams. It’s an honour to be here and to share with you the story of how music has had an impact on my life.
(A) Have you ever faced a time when things looked dark and you had no hope at all? Two years ago, I was told I had a serious disease which was difficult to cure. My body ached all the time and thus I thought I didn’t have much longer to live. I was very afraid and I felt so alone and discouraged. Then one day, I had to go through a two-hour medical treatment. The doctor wanted me to relax, so he had me listen to some music, and one of the songs was “Happy”. The song made me feel so much better that from then on I began to listen to music all the time. (B) John A. Logan said, “Music is the medicine of the mind.” And it’s true. Music helped me recover.

Introduction

Personal feeling
Of course, I hope none of you have to go through the same kind of suffering that I did. At the same time, we all go through various periods when we feel sad or alone. During those times, music can help you in the same way that it helped me. I hope all of you will somehow begin to treasure music and make it a part of your life.

A possible version
Hello! My name is John, and I'm here to talk about the power of music over words. Two years ago, my grandmother passed away, and music has helped me cope since then.
Sometimes words cannot describe what we are feeling, but music can. As Hans Christian Andersen once said,“ Where words fail, music speaks." Music is like a special language that everyone can understand.
Have you ever heard a piece of music and remembered an important time in your life? Perhaps when something important happened, or when you felt really happy or sad. I feel this way about a piece of classical music by Eric Satie called “Gymnopédie No.1”. It reminds me of my grandmother. It is like an old friend comforting me when I hear it.
This music helps me remember how much I miss her. It helps me remember all the great times we had. And music helps me be grateful for that time together. If you struggle to find the words to help you, music can be your guide.
That's all. Thank you for you attention!
