Thank you, Mr. Morley, for your kind introduction. It was very nice of you to speak of me like that. While I was listening, I had trouble believing that I was the man you were talking about.

     My thanks go out to all of you for being here at this dinner. I look around and say to myself, "These people are my friends." And you know how good it is to be among friends.

     Seven years ago, I became the tennis coach (教练) at this school. I can remember arriving here as if it were yesterday. When ! started coaching, we only had a small team then, just three boys and two girls, and only one tennis court. So my first job was to increase the team. At the end of the first year, we had ten boys and six girls. And it seems like the team keeps getting stronger every year.

     I've been lucky to have some really good players to coach. Coaches love good players. Some great players from our school over the past years include Herbert Bradbury, Christopher Stanton and Emma Austen, all champions (冠军) during the years they played.

     Among the players on our team now is Arthur Burney, perhaps the best of them all. I'm sure you all join with me in wishing him good luck as he leaves for Capetown next week. He's our first student to enter the Capetown Junior International Tennis Tournament, where he will play against some of the best young tennis players in the world. Good luck, Ace!

     The time has come for me, however, to make a change. Recent health problems have made it difficult for me to continue coaching.

     I must say, I'm looking forward to my retirement (退休) with mixed feelings. I'm certainly ready for a long rest, but I'm a bit worried about what I'll do with all my spare time. You might find me coming down to watch the games from time to time. If you can still remember me, you might say hello.

     Thank you everyone. I'll miss you all.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I'm here today to share a good lesson with you. It is a true story about an overseas student  【小题1】in Germany.
After years of hard work, this student graduated with amazing achievements. Everyone thought he was going to get a good  【小题2】 easily and have a bright future. But to his disappointment, he was not even given the  【小题3】 for an interview! The third time he was refused, he couldn't help telephoning the company to ask  【小题4】 they didn't want him. The answer was simple. " We don't offer jobs to  【小题5】 people in Germany."
What was wrong, you might wonder? The truth is, shortly after he arrived in Germany, this clever student found that it was 【小题6】to skip buying subway tickets. So  【小题7】save money, he often went without a ticket. As a result, he had been caught without a ticket in the subway  【小题8】 times.
From this story, we learn that we may get short-term benefits in dishonest ways, but the truth will  【小题9】sooner or later and the cost is high. So remember: honesty is the  【小题10】 rule.
That's all for my speech. Thank you!
