Singleness
Hi, guys! It’s my turn to give a speech. My English is very poor, and my pronunciation is destructively terrible. So it will be my honor if someone of you understands what I say. Now let me beginning(begin).
My speech key word (The key word to my speech)is singleness. When I got it, the first thing I did was to check what it means. It is(\) means (to)be an unmarried person, living(who lives) alone. Just like(as) the sages would(\) say, we are all ultimately alone. From my perspective, singleness means more freedom. First,as the single, you can do what you want. Take me for instance, I like drink(drinking) some café(coffee), read a book(reading books) with some light music at weekends, or just watch(watching) some movies, do(doing) some sports to get rid of(lose 感觉这个要好一点,虽然那个高级) my weight. The single always schedule the time by themselves. Second, as the single, you will save a lot of time, for example, if you do(doing)something by yourself will take three minutes, but you will take(spend) 30 minutes with a company do(doing) the same thing, because you have to discuss many details and differences on the one thing. Perhaps even gossip(gossips) about other people’s busine ss (are discussed) at the same time. So why don’t you save 27 minutes to do other more important things? Now, a famous sentence coming to my mind it(\) is that life is dear, love is dearer, both can be given up(dropped) for freedom. (Liberty, love! These two I need. For my love I will sacrifice life, for liberty I will sacrifice my love.)
But(However,)in China, it is a hard choice to be a single. A single life doesn’t come cheap(cheaply). Only big earners can afford their own housing, but(and) it is not the most difficult thing to the single. In my view, the most(biggest) difficulty is the pressure from the surrounding(surroundings). Because be(being) an unmarried person is not a traditional way of life in China. A couple of weeks ago, I did an experiment(an experiment I did) may explain that: one day, I told my mom:” Hi, mom, I am going to live alone, maybe have a dog and a cat but no man!” My mom shocked:” What’s wrong with you? Should I take you to see a psychologist?” Then, I told my friends:”Hi, guys! I am going to live alone, maybe have a dog and a cat but no man!” Paused for a few seconds, one of them asked me:”What’s wrong? Does someone break your heart?
I know a boy, maybe he’ll get along well with you, and I will introduce him to you” the other guy said:” You are too young to understand the necessity of marriage in your life!” Almost all the people in my little text are against celibacy. Why is it so? I summed two main points. First, having a baby is the indispensable tradition step of Chinese marriage. Carry(Carrying) on the family line is the most important responsibility of every Chinese. Second, Chinese parents always concern about(that) no one take care of their single children when they are old. From my perspective, the single life is free、(,)relaxed、(,)peaceful and wonderful. The married life is romantic、(,)sweet、(,)happy and responsibility(responsible). You have the right to choose any lifestyle you want. Finally, wish all of you have a nice life. Choose what you like and enjoy what you choose. This is all my speech. Thanks!。
