雅思口语热 speech or lecture

2009-03-23来源:和谐英语
  The best speech I’ve ever heard was back in my high school days. It must have been 2 years already, but I swear I remember every moment of it… even till now. I liked the speech not so much for its content, but more for the way the speaker delivered his speech.
  This particular speech took place in the school’s lecture hall and it was packed with students and teachers. Luckily for me, I got in early and sat right in the front – 5 meters from the stage. The speech was to be about “Healthy Living”…not exactly very interesting I thought.
  But when the speech started, it brought the house down. The speaker entered the hall wearing a huge hamburger suit holding a huge plate of McDonald burgers and fries! And he shouted “I’m lovin’ it …..And.... I’m dying from it!” Everyone was on the floor. What an awesome way to kick off!
  The whole point of the speech, as you might have guessed, was about the harm of fast food. That part in itself wasn’t that interesting because he was throwing all kinds of numbers about calories, body fat, at us. I guessed no one really paid attention to that. But the impact had already been made. Fast food equals a fast death. Maybe I’m exaggerating a bit here.
  But the speech was truly effective in that I had stayed off fast food since then. Anyway, the speech then ended with a standing ovation.
