Dear Mr. Milrl Miao, Principle Wan, teachers and fellow students.

Good afternoon everybody.

I'm really grateful for being given a second chance to give this speech, since I have already delivered one in the last semester. It is a great honor to be invited back again. An honor that I don't think I fully deserve. Neither do I understand why I have got this privilege. It seems like every choice I have ever made in the past has made me into the person who stands here now.

I remember when I first arrived at Fuyuan British American School.one and a half years ago, I was so in awe of everyone and everything.This enormous campus, even though there is only one building for us,really shocks me. The talented, beautiful people here are all way out of my league. Thanks to the various activities and competitions which led me to know this place much better, From English speech contests to sports meetings, from voluntary teaching service to English carnivals, to the most important event for IG students: the Cambridge Assessment Inter national Education, Yhe CAIE. Looking back at the last school year, it was extremely busy and diverse.

Turning to CAIE,I want to say congratulations to the students whohave received good scores. For those who did not, please don't bediscouraged, That test was nothing compared to the AS examination next year. The results are neither something that you should be proud of norsomething to defeat you. Going forward! We have more significant things to focus on.

A few weeks ago, I received some good news from my friends. They nailed IELTS and got bands like 7 and 8, which are incredibly good and impressive scores. These people are even younger than me. They're the kind of people who have the momentum and potential to go to universities like Oxford and Cambridge in the future. This reminds me of a question that I have been asked from time to time. Although I feel tired trying to find a perfect answer for it. Why do you work so hard? Now this might be the best answer: there is no reason for me laying around when I'm living among a crowd of people who are outstanding. As you can see,we do have very good models in our beloved school. So, my dear fellow schoolmates, please follow these good models and try your very best to work hard, excel, fulfill your dreams and embrace a bright and prosperous future.

Last but not least, I would like to wish you all a fruitful year to come.Thank you.
