Introduction Topic
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.
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. John A.
Logan said,“ Music is the medicine of the mind." And It’s true. Music helped me recover.
Q1: What was Sarah's problem?
Q2: How did music help her during her difficult time?
A serious disease.
The “medicine of the mind”.

Music gave me happiness. When I listened to music, it made my spirits fly like a kite in the wind. Music gave me strength and brought me relief. It was the rock I leant on to become strong and to get through those hard times. Moreover, music gave me hope and a sense of satisfaction. It became my best friend. It spoke words of encouragement to the deepest part of my being.
Q3: What impacts does the music have on Sarah?

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.
Thank you!

Sample 1
Hello! My name is John. I feel honored to be here to give you a speech about the power of music. Just as someone said, “Where words fail, music speaks.” Music is a special language that everyone can understand.
Have you ever experienced a time when things looked dark and you were hopeless? A year ago, I just went to a new school. Failing to keep up with other classmates, I was depressed and lonely. I had no friends and missed my parents so much. Ocassionally I heard a song named “dream it possible”, which gives me encouragement and comfort. Gradually I adapted to the new environment.
Music gives me happiness. It comforts me when I feel sad. It touches my heart and makes me relaxed. It helps me go through bad times and become stronger. It teaches me to cherish and feel grateful for what I have.
Music is so powerful. Whether you are happy or frustrated, listen to some music. you can never imagine how much it will influence you.
Thank you for listening!
