Time is a Bird Forever Flying Mandy-Class 169 Good afternoon everyone! I’m only too glad to stand here to make this speech. My topic is “Time is a bird forever flying”. As far as I’m concerned, time is valuable and it never stops. Time and tide wait for no man; therefore, we should make full use of it rather than waste it One year ago, I made the acquaintance of some troublesome students and fell into bad habits. I didn’t want to go to school any longer and started to be truant. I wasted lots of time which I should have spent studying. There is not doubt that I fell behind others in my class. Later my head teacher found out about my problems and helped me out of trouble. I regret the time I wasted, but thanks to my head teacher, I realized my problem before it had gone too far. Lost time is gone forever and can never be given back. I sincerely hope that everyone should have a strong sense of time and make the most of it. That’s all. Thanks for listening. Humor Jeff-Class 99 1. A man found a million dollars on the street. He said, “If a poor person lost it, I’ll give it back.” 2. Patient: I’m so frightened, and this is my first operation. Surgeon: I know just how you feel. This is my first operation, too. 3. Lady (standing in the middle of a busy street): Officer, can you tell me how to get to the hospital? Police Officer: Just stand where you are and you will find out how to get to the hospital. 4. Teacher: You should learn your lessons from your mistakes. Student: I know that. Teacher: Why do you make mistakes again and again? Student: I do this so I can learn more lessons. 5. -Boy, why do have cotton wool in your ear? Is there anything wrong with it? -No sir, but said yesterday that everything you told me went in one ear and out the other. So I am trying to stop it.
