Hi, Unscian! I am Tom. The weather has been extremely cold since the beginning of this month. Have you studied much for the final exam? I hope all of you meet with good result. This semester I took the class on the life plan and learned many things about that. Among them, I want to introduce the book `The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People`. It is a self-help book written by Stephen R. Covey. Today, I talk about this book and way to success.The first habit, "Be proactive", is about taking responsibility for your life. Proactive people recognize that they are "response-able." They don`t blame genetics, circumstances, conditions, or conditioning for their behavior. They know they choose their behavior. It gives him the power not to be affected by his circumstances.

Last month, Choi, Jin-sil, a 41-years-old actress, hanged herself at her house. Many agree that maligning and groundless rumor in cyber space were one of the reasons actress Choi, Jin-sil committed suicide. Even after she died, she couldn`t avoid cyber attack. Under articles about her death posted on major portal site, there were notes such as "If you are Jin-sil, I am a liar." and "Don`t work as a loan shark in heaven." These days, hostile comments on the internet have become a social issue in Korea. Have you ever heard about the `Raw for Choi Jin-sil`? It is a popular name of the communications network law amendment which includes Internet real-name system and contempt of cyber. If the proposed legislation becomes law, it will punish the netizen who produce the `cyber bullying`. The ruling Grand National Party may introduce this system to curb Internet crime, especially libel. And there is a controversy on this subject. In recent surveys a great number of Internet users have expressed their support for the raw.
Hello, everyone. My name is jack. So far I am a freshman at seoul University. And my major is Department of Civil Engineering.Nowadays, The weather has been cold for several days. How have you been lately? Are you having a good time in this vacation? I'm so sad because my winter vacation is passing very quickly without any product. But it is a great comfort for me that my English skill will improve by writing and reciting this speech.Since I joined this club, three months have already passed. In the meantime, Many people had speech time. And they finished very successfully. It is my first time that I make a speech. So I am very worry that I do well in this speech as other members. But I'll do my best. Please listen carefully!!Today, I would like to have my speech about my thought on cosmetic surgery. As scientific technique has developed, human beings have had more chances to change their shape than before. One of the techniques is plastic surgery. In Korea, when people turn on the television, all they see is beautiful celebrities. People want to look like these celebrities. So the majority people go along with this surgery, and many of them perform.Have you ever thought about having a plastic surgery for beauty? Of course, I agree to have an operation, and I want one. I have every reason to do. Now I'll speak of them.First, most people like good-looking and excellent person. We want to be seen well to other people, especially the opposite sex. But the appearance of people does not change itself into the feature that I want. It is the most important reason to have plastic surgery. The person does not exist in the world, who is born with appearance they want themselves. Everyone must have an issue of their own appearances. It is almost destiny and the effort like exercise can change only small part. A stupid person can not become handsome however he can make every effort or control well. And handsome person is handsome although he doesn't make any effort. It is very unfair in our equality society. All people, therefore, must have an opportunity to be looked well. One of the way that the most certain, easiest and fastest is this surgery.Second reason is for smooth social activity. Ability is important thing when I undergo a personal interview or have a business meeting. But It is common affair that the first impression is more important. It expresses the power of the first impression. The first impression is practically decided by person's appearance and can't be changed easily. The plastic surgery can make a good first impression. Those with bad complexes could obtain a softer image. So they do not receive any harm and make the most of them in social activity. Statistics show that many people who had the surgery are satisfied with result and doing well in their life than before. For this reason, the number of people who performed this surgery is increasing rapidly every year. And forty percent of them are male. It is showing us that males also have many interest in this surgery.Finally, person can be satisfied and get a self-confidence by plastic surgery. My face and body are mine only, even though I received these from my parents. Therefore, we perform this surgery according to our thoughts and take the responsibility of that. Though other people talk strange of you, we were merely satisfied with the change appearance. If we are satisfied about ourselves, we can live a happy life and also get a self-confidence. The self-confidence has enormous power, and it can probably change many parts of our life. For example, maybe you can get a lover or the work can be solved well. If we have self-confidence, we can success in any difficult condition.As scribed above, there are many advantages of plastic surgery. A liberal amount of cosmetic surgery boosts self-esteem. However, plastic surgery does have its negatives. Because some side effects are severe enough to threaten one's life. One must consider the consequences before the surgery. A few days ago, I saw a woman who is called "fan aunt" on TV. When I saw her, I was surprised, because her face was very big and she looked as if she wore a mask. She looked very crawly. She was a patient who got the addiction of plastic surgery. If the surgery is repeated, the side effects can bring catastrophic results.It is an era of individuality. One's individuality can become beauty of their own. However, if you need to boost your self esteem, I believe plastic surgery is a good way to do so.Thank you for your kindness hearing me till now. I wish you had a good chance to think about plastic surgery. Already, year of 2005 came up to us. I hope you will spend this year with happiness. And I wish to make wonderful memories with all of you in this year. I will finish my sloppy speech with over. Thank you for listening.
