The sample speech:
Ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to thank you for your coming to listen to my speech. I feel a bit nervous as I’ve never given a speech before, so please forgive me if it shows.
As we all know, this is the school leavers’ party, and it’s time to say goodbye to everyone. At this moment, there are many people who I’d like to thank. The first is my head teacher. I can never pay her back for her kindness, her patience, and gift of knowledge which she has offered me. Sometimes she has been strict with me. I remembered once I made some mistakes in my math homework because of my carelessness, she was angry and let me redo all the exercises. But she has always been fair and she will always be our role models.
The second I’d like to thank are my friends, and what I’ve learnt is the importance of friendship. We’ve worked hard together, we’ve even shared some difficult times together, but we’ve also had a lot of fun. When I meet some difficulties in study, they often help me. We’ll stay in touch.
The school days are the best days of my life. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you all and wish you success for the future.
