Welcome to the unit & Reading
Understanding the text
Understanding a speech
A speech is a formal talk that a person gives to an audience. A good speech keeps the audience interested all the time. To achieve this, the speaker may tell interesting stories or ask questions. A good speech also uses quotations and such rhetorical devices as metaphor, repetition and parallelism.
Tip
In pairs, discuss the following questions.
Understanding the text
1. How does the principal try to keep his audience interested What rhetorical devices does he use Find examples from the speech.
To keep his audience interested, the principal asks the question "What is potential " and then answers it himself. He also uses rhetorical devices like repetition and parallelism. For example, "Today is the start of a new term, the start of a three-year journey
Understanding the text
and the start of a promising future." "Who knows what beautiful works of art you will create, what medical advances you will make or what amazing technologies you will develop!" The principal also uses a quotation from Lao-Tzu, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
Understanding the text
2. How are you going to realize your potential
It is very important to realize my potential in all areas of my life, not only in my studies. I should make good use of the school resources such as paying attention in classes and learning from my teachers and classmates. My school offers many after-school activities and facilities outside of the classroom to help me realize my potential in other areas. Joining a club or doing some sports could help me become a good team worker.
Understanding the text
What is the purpose of the principal's speech
The principal means to welcome the students to a new stage of life and prepare them for developing their potential to the full at senior high school.
Understanding the text
Do you think the title of this speech is good If so, why If not, can you think of a better one
In my opinion, the title is perfect. It is brief, eye-catching and comes straight to the point, which makes it easy to remember.
Understanding the text
How do you find this speech and why
This speech is very helpful and motivating. It clearly answers my questions as a new senior high school student: how I should spend the next three years and realize my potential. Also, the speech connects to its title in a clear way. I think that I will try to do what the principal encourages us to.
Understanding the text
What is the relationship between realizing one's potential at senior high school and achieving one's life goal
I firmly believe that the skills and abilities one acquires at senior high school will determine one's success in the future. As a successful journalist, for example, one needs to be able to absorb, analyse and evaluate information promptly and accurately. Developing skills of interpersonal communication together with critical thinking at senior high school will play a critical role in achieving one's life goal.

Building up your language
The speech uses some adjectives. Note the following suffixes and think of more adjectives formed with them. Then fill in the table below with as many words as you can.
Building up your language
Forming adjectives with suffixes
We can form adjectives by adding suffixes to nouns or verbs. Sometimes we need to leave out or change the final letter(s) of a word before adding a suffix, e.g. centre—central, decide—decisive.

Building up your language
The speech uses a number of parallel structures. Find them in the speech.
Learn this
Parallel structures use the same pattern of words or sentences. They can add balance to sentences and make the language more powerful and effective.
Building up your language
In grammar, parallelism is a balance of two or more similar words, phrases, or clauses. The application of parallelism in sentence construction can sometimes improve writing style, clearness, and readability.
Parallelism

Use a similar structure to encourage someone who is unhappy.

Building up your language
· Carefully plan your study, set clear goals and balance your schoolwork with other activities.
· Be confident, do your best and make us proud!

What can parallel structures do for a speech
Parallel sentences have a great impact on the speech.
