雅思口语Part2：演讲 A speech that somebody delivered and you heard

I have heard numerous speeches, lectures, commentaries on various topics and issues throughout different stages of my life and among them the speech that was given by our primary school teacher on our farewell day is the most influential one and I still vividly recall it. The teacher who gave the speech was Mr. Mark Augustine and he was in his late forties at that time. As fifth-grade school going kids, we did not comprehend quite clearly what was the school farewell all about. We knew that this is going to be our last day at our primary school and we would start our new school soon. Mr. Mark was already a revered teacher for his teaching style, good manner, humor and honesty. Rumor had that, he was much more qualified to be a college professor rather than being a primary school teacher.

在我人生的不同阶段，我听过无数关于各种话题和问题的演讲、演讲、评论，其中最具影响力的是小学老师在告别日的演讲，我至今记忆犹新。做这次演讲的老师是马克·奥古斯丁先生，当时他已经四十多岁了。作为五年级的孩子，我们不太清楚学校的告别是怎么回事。我们知道这将是我们在小学的最后一天，我们将很快开始我们的新学校。马克先生以他的教学风格、良好的态度、幽默和诚实而受人尊敬。有传言说，他更适合做大学教授，而不是小学教师。

On the day, we had our parents present in school and we had been enjoying everything. As part of the farewell speech, Mr. Mark approached to the stage and started mentioning what funny things we had done in the last 5 years. We as well as our parents started laughing on the things he mentioned. He mentioned how a kid started screaming at the sight of a cockroach, how a kid of class two expressed his friendship to a girl, how we tried to play amid of the class and many more interesting and funny events.

那天，我们的父母都在学校，我们享受着一切。作为告别演讲的一部分，马克先生走上台，开始提到过去5年我们做过的有趣的事情。我们和我们的父母开始嘲笑他提到的事情。他提到一个孩子看到蟑螂就开始尖叫，一个二班的孩子如何向一个女孩表达他的友谊，我们如何尝试在班级和许多有趣的事情中玩耍。

He then moved on topics that I still hear in my mind. He told how studying is our primary responsibility, how we should listen to our parents, how have we achieved our liberation as a nation, how to respect the Mother Nature and all the honesty and bravery we should possess in our heart. The topics and his way of presenting them vibrated us heavily. I can still remember how the advice came back to my life time to time. As a kid, those advice and moralities were probably way too heavy to grasp but I still believe that the speech had a great impact in my life as well as the lives of the other kids who were present there.

然后，他又谈到了一些我至今仍记忆犹新的话题。他告诉我们，学习是我们的首要责任，我们应该如何倾听我们的父母，我们作为一个国家如何实现我们的解放，如何尊重自然母亲和我们心中应该拥有的所有诚实和勇敢。这些话题和他呈现这些话题的方式深深震撼了我们。我仍然记得这些忠告是如何不时地回到我的生活中的。当我还是个孩子的时候，那些建议和道德观念可能是难以理解的，但我仍然相信这次演讲对我的生活以及在场的其他孩子的生活都有很大的影响。
