(OPEN)What is your best choice for your leisure time?
Imagine that in the hot summer day the torrid sun hangs on the sky. The sun burns your skin. You’re sweating and you feel thirsty. Your skin is sticky and turns into dark. Come on, why don’t you go shopping in the Department store? Enjoy the cool breeze coming from the air conditioner? Wow! So great!
Imagine that in the cold winter day there is an icy wind blowing. The wind chills to your bone. You’re trembling. Your fingers are numb and turn into bloodless. Oh! Why don’t you shop in the department store? Enjoy the warm breath of the air conditioner? Wow! So wonderful! Therefore, no matter in any seasons or in any weather, shopping will be always your best choice for your free time.
(Body)So do I but not only for the weather!
1. At the bra counter
Wow! It’s my first time to visit the bra counter. There were so many different kinds of bra here. When I was taking my pick, the saleswoman came to me!
Saleswoman: May I help you? (with a big smile on her face) I can choose some suitable ones
for you to try on!
Amanda: Ok! Thanks! (the action for trying on the bra…) Um…. Not bad! But they’re a little bit
too expensive. I just have poor salary for each month and I cannot afford it.
Saleswoman: I think they fit your style. A little bit cutie and a little bit sexy! You have very
beautiful shape of chest! Do you see the effect of this bra! It can help you to upgrade from A to A+! No, I mean from C to C+. I’m not good at flattering. But say it truly. You now are as gorgeous as the star 天心!
Amanda: Oh! Come on! Is that true? I think your products are not as expensive as I think and I
really need some new ones. Pack all of them and I’ll pay by credit card.
2. At the clothing counter
Oh! It’s my favorite brand of clothing.
Saleswoman: Hey, long time no see! Come here! I’ll let you try on some of our new-arrivals.
The design of this one-piece dress is more lady style and I found you have
well-proportioned body shape like the super model, 林志玲!
Amanda: Hoo…is that true?
Saleswoman: Of course! And this one is cute style one. Oh! See! It’s also suitable for you
because you’re so slim and have sweet temperament like the popular singer, 楊丞
琳! Believe me I’m telling the truth!
Amanda: Hoooo… Is that true?
Saleswoman: Of course, it’s the truth! Only trim ladies can wear the clothes made by us.
Amanda: Hooooo….. I totally agree with you! You’re so honest! I like this, this, this and this.
Pack them for me and I’ll pay by credit card!
(CONCLUSION)
Amanda: Hahahaha…. So now you know another reason I love shopping! It’s shopping is really a healthy exercise because you’ll get lots of complements while you shopping. When you feel happy, your brain will release one kind of happy element, Endorphin, which will keeps your mind in good condition. As a smart girl, please go shopping, shopping and shopping for your health. And for my health I also bought this glory diamond ring for myself.
Amanda: What is this? Oh! It’s my bill. Oops! I hope I can be as rich as Bill Gates!

2006/4/4 Scott's C3 speech
C3 speech(Get to the point, 5 to 7 minutes） by ScottTitle: “ Show them your love and passion!” delivered on 2006/04/4 (AMTC) Props: …(Opening)
Ladies and gentlemen, good evening, have you ever had the feelings that you want to thank your parents for their loving efforts to raise a family but you don’t know how to show your affection? Have you ever had the feelings that you really need a hug from your intimate friends and your family but you don’t know how to say it? We always expect love will come to our way, but many of us are afraid to show them your love and passion at the beginning. And sometimes when we have a crush on someone, we don’t have the courage to take an action. What’s the problem? The problem is fear. Do you agree to that? We fear failure. We fear the results will get us frustrated and embarrassed. We fear that if we fail to get what we want, we will be lack of confidence when we face it again. From my friends stories I found that everyone loves family but not everyone can show their love to parents easily. And you know what? When I just came back to my hometown, some people said that “hey Scott, somehow I feel that you‘ve got a change, and you look different than you used to be”. So tonight let me share you a story from my family, and you’ll know what the change is and how I can show my love and passion in my life!
(Body)
After I graduated from school to work, I felt the relationship between me and my family was not that strong and connected than ever because of generation gap. So I often had lots of quarrels with my parents and the quarrel has been going and going until the time when I went to Taipei for work. One day a miracle started to happen that would change my life when I lived with my cousin’s family. I remembered every time when I came back from work, I could see my cousin making milk for his little baby. Wow~ suddenly, I felt the warm and love and it really recalled my family life in my childhood. At that time I thought I was not a good son as I didn’t spend much time with my mother and father. So Since then I place my family above everything especially when I left my home for a long time. Back to two years ago in Taipei, I remembered one day I was working on Father’s day, after work I made a phone call to my dad because it’s a special day for him. Moreover, I haven’t contacted with them for three months already. So I called my dad and let him know I’m doing fine in Taipei. But at the moment he picked up the phone, I began to stammer as my father is a traditional and serious man, I never say something lovely and show him my concern. And I thought he would quarrel with me as I couldn’t come back to see them because of work and long distance. But to my surprise, he said “I hope you can come back more often and your mom will prepare your favorite dishes for you.” At that moment I was really moved by the words he said because he doesn’t show his affection in front of me easily. So here I want to say “Dad, I love you! “
As for my mother, she is devoted all her life to our family and I really appreciated that so I spent five thousands NT dollars to buy her a purse with a sweet letter on Mother’s day. Especially when she cooks, I always try to help her cooking because I love cooking, too. And I think it’s the best way for me to improve the relationship between me and my mom. Until now even though she always nags at me, all I want to say to her is “mom, you works so hard for our family, I love you!” so they are the reason why I want to come back to Kaohsiung and live with my parents again, I think my family changes me to be more mature and understanding man that I have never thought I would be like!
(Conclusion)
In a word, people are groups. We all need friends and family so we can not live along without love and care our parents give us. Do you know why I share my family story with all of you tonight? Because I think if you don’t show your love to your family naturally, how could you show your love and passion to others? And if we can not love each other, how could this world be full of love and peaceful. So if you come back to home to see your parents next time, please give them a hug and say “Thanks for your love and care, I really appreciate what you’ve done for me, mom and dad, I love you!”
