Speech title: Lisaness
Speech Project: (C1) Ice Breaker
Time limit: 4 to 6 minutes
This lectern is very familiar to me. Making speech in public is nothing new to me. But, this ice breaking really got me. Not until three days ago, have I started writing this C1 speech. Examine my life, organizing my history and revealing myself to you isn’t an easy job.
Anyway, I still have to do it, right? Well, let me start with my “Lisaness.” As you know, Lisa is my name, and the word ends up with ness is usually a noun. I saw this expression in a comedy called “You me and Dupree.” I thought it was a good way to say someone’s philosophy. So, what’s “Lisaness?” Have you heard of an idiom “Make hay while the sun shines?” That means “Enjoy your life while you still can.” That’s “Lisaness.” Let me tell you about myself, and then you will understand “Lisaness” better. I consider myself a very lucky person. I was born in a happy and normal family. They are very supportive with my decision. My father is a government worker, and my mother is a retired teacher. I have an elder brother who is a professor. But being a teacher used to be the last thing I wanted to do. Back in college, I was crazy for politics and stage play. I remembered once I was dragged for a long way and beaten up by the police in a student protest movement. I still thought I was doing a right thing and I had good time. Anyway, the ridiculous Constitution 100 and 101 have been eliminated and I have become what I am, a teacher.
I graduated from Fu-Jen University. My major was literature. Fourteen years ago, I started my teaching carrier and the school business, just like I said at the beginning. I always enjoy what I am doing. I treasure every moment at the podium and care about my students. That’s why they take my class seriously. My students adore me like a goddess, and the coolest part is the3 unbroken bond between my students and I. The other day, one of my college students asked for my opinions about his future and sex life. I couldn’t help thinking of what he was like when he was a third grader. To sum up, I have talent to catch the student’s attention, and be able to help them. That’s why my school is called the “Magic Lisa.”
Enough for my job, let me tell you some other amazing things. My husband is Japanese. I never expected to marry to a foreigner. I am someone who has too strong Taiwan awareness. I only like to use things made in Taiwan. However, things just happened. We fell in love at the first sight. We have been married for ten years. He can speak fluent Chinese and Taiwanese, but I cannot speak even one word of Japanese, though. However, my husband cannot agree more with my “Lisaness.” We share the same attitude toward life. We don’t want to grow old together. Instead, we both want to stay young forever. We also enjoy everything related to beauty. I am into interior designing, and he happened to be a handy person. Five years ago, the TV show, “生活智慧王” came to our home. It was quite an honor. My husband and I are family type people. Meanwhile, we never give up our crazy night life.
I am 36 years old. The age is never a taboo for me. I think if someone has confidence, it won’t be too late to fulfill anything. I joined a bikini contest three years ago. The rest of the contestants were at least 10 years younger. I still won the Championship in the end. I didn’t let my age to stop me. That’s “Lisaness.” I have two sons. One is a third grader and the other is a second grader. The older looks exactly like my husband, and I see myself in the younger one. They are growing up everyday. We are going to encounter different problems at different stage. But, one thing I can be sure is my love toward them and I will never change my “Lisaness.”
