5.Show the sample
Good morning, everyone. My name is Lucy, and I'm honored to be here to talk about how music has changed my life.
Have you ever experienced the ups and downs of life and felt frustrated or discouraged Two years ago, when I entered the new school, I felt lost and depressed. It’s like I had been taken out of comfort zone, and put somewhere new. Gradually, I began to lose myself, like a fish out of water. But then the next moment, I felt the melody of the song “Count on me” echoing in my mind, soft and calming, comforting and powerful. It gave me strength and hope, like my old friend. It gave me company and comfort. And also it gave me courage to face all the difficulties. Gradually, I adapted to the new school. The philosopher Plato once said, “Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.” I do benefit a lot from music.
So next time, if you are faced with difficulties, you can turn to music for help. It will surely help you out. Thank you for your listening
