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.
后来有一天,我需要去做两个小时的治疗。医生想让我放松,就让我听一些音乐,其中一首歌是《快乐》。听着这首歌,我感觉好多了;从此之后,我开始一直听音乐。约翰·A·洛根曾说过:“音乐是心灵的良药。”的确如此,音乐助我康复。

The Role of Music
Good morning, everyone! It’s an honour to be here to deliver a speech about the role of music.
As is well-known, music undoubtedly plays an important role in our life. Not only is it a medium to learn about the world but a way to enjoy life. Without music, our life would be boring and meaningless.
As for me, music is a magic pill (魔法药片,暗喻的修辞手法), which reduces pressure and brings peace to my mind. Whenever I feel upset or anxious, I’ll devote myself to beautiful music, letting go of all my troubles. It’s also my hobby to listen to music after school so that I can feel energetic.
In a word, music really benefits me a lot. That’s all. Thank you for your listening!
Enjoy the music
