Script sharing- Mayna's C2 Speech

Learn Through Men
(C2 speech-Organize Your Speech)
(delivering by Mayna on Jan. 04, 2005)

One day I was talking to my most beloved coworker- Pei-ling. I told her that I was having a classical music club. And she said she didn’t realize I had a passion for music. She thought I only had passion for men. Yeah, she was right to some extend. I love men. English men, French men, German men and Chinese men…..
In ALE, we always say “Learn Through Experience”. But for me, it’s more like-“Learn Through Men.” Now let me share some stories with you.

One day, I was on a date with an English man. Our meeting place was at the first floor of a hotel. Twenty minutes after our meeting time, I started to look all over for him. Just then, he walked down stairs and asked me: My God! What are you doing at the ground floor?” This English man-Bert who was very English. He once said: “French men are all dirty bastards. That’s why they invented perfume.” He was the most generous person I’ve ever met. He tipped every one who served him, including the fruit stall clerks, gas station attendants, Betel Nut Girls. He would buy a bottle of BaoLi Da B everyday - just to get a sexy smile from the scantily clad betel nut girls. He even forced to give me 10,000 on our second date. I didn’t want to take it cuz I thought he wanted to give me £10,000. It turned out I overestimate his generosity. It’s NT10,000 he talked about. You may wonder if I took the money or not. Yes, I did. You know what they say: “Something is better than nothing.”

I once had a gorgeous date who was from Ukrain, Russia. So when we went to a party everyone turned their heads to see this gorgeous man I had in my arms. All the ladies came and asked me where I picked up this man. Gee! He’s more beautiful than any Hollywood movie stars. Although they didn’t say it, I knew what they really meant was “Mayna, you are not good enough for him”. At the end of the party, he whispered to me and said two girls at the party gave him their phone numbers. He went on to say actually his record was getting 5 numbers one night. “Three from women and two from men.” So I’ve learned not to date a guy who is more beautiful than me.

Before ALE, I used to teach at a kid’s school. One day, my first grader, Johnny came to me and said: “Teacher, you beautiful!” I of course replied: “Thank you!” Actually, what I really meant was: “This monkey boy has got great taste.” Just then he showed an hourglass shape gesture. You know what they say: “Boys will always be boys.” Talking about horny boys. My former date-Martin surely took the cake. I remember quite clearly our first date. He was driving me to dine at a restaurant. He had his left hand on the wheel, and the right hand on my laps. And he said: Mayna, next time when we go on a date, would you please wear a mini skirt? That’d make my job easier. I replied: “Martin, I’m afraid you park your hand at the wrong place, cuz I don’t have the right legs for a mini skirt.” So after this date, I’ve learned not to date a horny guy who expects me to wear a mini skirt for him.

One more story for the road. Three years ago, I had a European boyfriend whose name was Tom. This guy was handsome, intelligent and sensitive, except … he was very bossy. At that time, I had just started out in ALE. He’d be upset if I had to work on the week day evenings and weekends, which I was required to. Once we had a fight, he asked me: “Which one is more important to you, me or ALE?” Without hesitation, I replied: “I’ll give you a hint: It’s not you.” So finally when he proposed to me I had to let him down cuz I can’t stand someone who’s bossier than I am.

Just last week, my friend Athena asked me: What’s your Mr. Right like? And I told her all the stories I told you just now. As long as he doesn’t spend money like his pocket is on fire i.e. Bert. Or as horny as Martin, gorgeous as the Russian guy or as bossy as Tom. Athena went on to say: Is that all you want? It shouldn’t be hard to find a guy for you cuz you’re sexy, smart and funny. Finally, I said: OK He also needs to be sexy, intelligent, sensitive, mature, independent, masculine and thoughtful. Then she said: Now I finally understand why you are still single. Maybe I should change the title of this speech to “ Why Can’t Mayna Get A Man.” Do you all agree? Yeah. I can’t agree more.

Script sharing-Vincent's C7 speech

C7 speech(Apply Your Skills , 5 to 7 minutes) by Speaker:Vincent Wang
Title:Gift delivered on 12/21/2004 (AMTC)

(OPEN)
When you heard or saw this word “gift”, what do you feel?
Exciting, romantic, or just crazy on it?
Than, what words do you think would connect with it? Happy Birthday, Christmas, chocolates or flowers.

Moreover, are you intended a giver or the opposite of as a receiver? Exactly, It’s hard to get answer. Sometimes we would like to give and sometimes we really enjoy taking. The experience of received and giving a gift I had before has been really caused my life mush more exciting. I would like to share with you

(Body)
At first, I would like to start from the experience of received a gift.
Do you know what is it? Is it like a teacher’s pointer? In Taiwan, we may say “teacher’s regulator.” Exactly, it is a chopstick and a gift gave by my grandpa. I know some of you are now little confusing about it why It’s not a pair one and so big. Let me share you what I had gotten from my grandpa when I was a kid.
My grandpa was a village head and earned the respect of his villager. In addition, he was a well-known carpenter. He made this big chopstick and gave it to me on my birthday of 13 year’s old. My brother got another one. My grandpa had enclosed three advices together for us with this gift.
The first, He asked us always think about what does the “giant” do. This chopstick was to help us to stimulate ours memories. Therefore, it’s so big because it was designed for a giant. The second, he said that we must always work together with, to reach our goal together; a chopstick cannot work alone. That was the reason why my grandpa just gave us only one of it not a pair. He emphasized to work with others is not only the sibling in family, but also the others out side, and do not forget sometime we need other’s help; also sometimes, we shall give a hand to others.
The third, It’s a regulator and unique for me, until I was over 18 years old. The reason is I was not a good boy at that time. My brother and sister were often provoked to my bad behavior. During that period of time, 13 to 18, I had learned a lot from my grandpa. It’s mean that I had gotten a lot of punishment. Even though, times flying but I still hold it as a treasure. If I faced a difficulty or rough going to do, I usually took this to evoke the memory of my grandpa’s words. But it’s not often, instead of, I use it to my son. My son always gets more words than his father did from his grandpa. Good luck of my son.

Continuing, I am going to share you the other experience of gift giving. It was 13 years ago; I was a products engineer of a speaker factory. A day, when I leaved office, I saw a woman who was sobbing in the security guard booth. I knew this woman because she just asked me how to correct the wrong procedure in the morning. After asked the guard, I knew that she was caught by taking out a mini-stereo radio with out promise. She was in a big trouble. She may get fire from this. I told the guard let me to deal with it and took her back to my office. The woman was divorced and has a 10 years girl. She really wants a radio for her girl at Christmas. Therefore, when she saw that nice radio lay on the table seemed somebody forgot it; she was greedy for it. I told her that the radio is a sample use to test the speaker and let her know how serious she had made. And than I let her go and no body knows this except the guard. Next day I asked a new one from the company for her girl as the Christmas gift. It’s over 13 years; I still received her card every Christmas.



(CONCLUSION)
In practice, do not care about what role you are and like to be to a “gift” giver or a receiver, the most important is that why you do it, what benefit you want to give and to receive. Even if the gift is a falling down from the heaven and you think is a treasure to you. Ok! It’s good to take it; no one would care about it.
