a speech
This note is a speech I prepared for my sister for a speech. Could somebody kindly help to check if there are any grammar problems? Thanks very much!
Hello everyone my name is Liz. I am glad that I can go so far in this English speech competition and get the chance to share with you a little story of mine.
It was last summer; my parents took me to London on vacation as a reward for the good grade I gained in final exams. That was the first time I’ve been to London. I was excited that I could visit so many tourist attractions in person rather than seeing pictures in books. We went to the Big Ben, the London Eye, the Tower Bridge etc and naturally everywhere was filled with English.
Everything was going on well until we lost our map when we were on our way back to hotel from the Big Ben. I was so worried and anxious, and then there was a kind English gentleman came to us and gave us a hand. I told him our situation. He showed us the way to the underground station where we could take a train back to hotel. He was impressed that I was such a proficient speaker of English and asked me how could I achieve that proficiency?
I told him that the secret of my excellent English skills was the speech competition I took part in. I was in year 3 when I heard there was an English speech competition was on. I have learned English for two years and I thought why didn’t I go in for it? I registered for the preliminary and beat all the other competitors and entered the semi-final then rose the rank to the final. Through all matches, I improved my English proficiency, gained the confidence in speaking English. Furthermore, that was the reason why I could stay here to tell you this story. I told the gentleman.
I would like to encourage all my schoolmates to take part in this competition, to try our best and to love speaking English.
Thank you all for your time and I wish you a happy day.
