[상황] My second story is about love and loss. I was lucky — I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents’ garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees.

[위기] We had just released our finest creation — the Macintosh — a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating. I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down — that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me — I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.

[극복]I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life. During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the world’s first computer animated feature film(장편 영화), Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I returned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together. I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it.

[교훈]Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.

사랑과 상실

[상황]
내 두 번째 이야기는 사랑과 상실에 대한 것입니다. 나는 운이 좋았습니다. 인생에서 내가 사랑하는 일을 일찍 찾았으니까요. 워즈(Woz)와 나는 내가 20살이었을 때 부모님의 차고에서 애플을 시작했습니다. 우리는 열심히 일했고, 10년 만에 애플은 차고에서 시작한 두 명의 작은 팀에서 직원 4000명 규모의 20억 달러 기업으로 성장했습니다.

[위기]
우리는 막 최고의 창작물인 매킨토시를 출시했고, 나는 막 30살이 되었습니다. 그리고 그때 나는 해고당했습니다. 어떻게 자신이 창립한 회사에서 해고될 수 있을까요? 애플이 성장하면서 나는 함께 회사를 운영할 매우 유능한 사람을 고용했다고 생각했습니다. 처음 1년 정도는 모든 것이 순조롭게 진행되었습니다. 하지만 시간이 지나면서 우리의 미래에 대한 비전이 달라졌고, 결국 의견 충돌이 일어났습니다. 그리고 이 과정에서 이사회(Board of Directors)는 그 사람의 편을 들었습니다. 그래서 나는 30살에 회사에서 쫓겨났습니다. 그것도 아주 공개적으로 말이죠.

내 성인의 모든 시간을 바쳐온 것이 하루아침에 사라졌고, 그것은 정말 참담한 일이었습니다. 몇 개월 동안 나는 무엇을 해야 할지 전혀 몰랐습니다. 나는 이전 세대의 기업가들에게 큰 실망을 안겨준 것 같았고, 그들에게 넘겨받은 바통을 떨어뜨린 기분이었습니다. 나는 데이비드 패커드(David Packard)와 밥 노이스(Bob Noyce)를 만나 큰 실수를 저질렀다고 사과하기도 했습니다. 나는 모두가 보는 앞에서 실패했고, 심지어 실리콘밸리를 떠날 생각까지 했습니다. 하지만 시간이 흐르면서 서서히 깨닫게 된 것이 있었습니다. 나는 여전히 내가 하는 일을 사랑하고 있었습니다. 애플에서의 사건은 그것을 조금도 바꾸지 않았습니다. 나는 거절당했지만, 여전히 내가 하는 일에 사랑에 빠져 있었습니다. 그래서 나는 다시 시작하기로 결심했습니다.

[극복]
그때는 몰랐지만, 애플에서 해고당한 것은 내 인생에서 일어난 가장 좋은 일이었습니다. 성공해야 한다는 무거운 부담감이 사라지고, 다시 시작하는 초심자의 가벼움이 찾아왔습니다. 모든 것이 확실하지 않은 상태가 오히려 나를 자유롭게 했고, 내 인생에서 가장 창의적인 시기를 맞이할 수 있도록 해주었습니다.

그 후 5년 동안, 나는 NeXT라는 회사를 설립했고, 또 다른 회사인 Pixar를 만들었으며, 나의 아내가 된 놀라운 여성과 사랑에 빠졌습니다. Pixar는 세계 최초의 컴퓨터 애니메이션 장편 영화인 토이 스토리를 제작했고, 현재 가장 성공한 애니메이션 스튜디오가 되었습니다. 놀랍게도 애플이 NeXT를 인수하면서 나는 다시 애플로 돌아왔고, NeXT에서 개발한 기술이 애플의 부활 중심에 놓이게 되었습니다. 그리고 로렌과 나는 아름다운 가정을 이루었습니다.

만약 내가 애플에서 해고되지 않았다면 이 모든 일이 일어나지 않았을 것입니다. 그것은 정말 끔찍한 약이었지만, 환자에게 꼭 필요한 약이었던 셈입니다.

[교훈]
때때로 인생은 당신의 머리를 벽돌로 내리칩니다. 하지만 믿음을 잃지 마세요. 나를 버티게 한 유일한 것은 내가 하는 일을 사랑했다는 사실입니다. 당신은 반드시 당신이 사랑하는 것을 찾아야 합니다. 그것은 일에서도, 사랑에서도 마찬가지입니다.

당신의 일이 인생에서 큰 부분을 차지할 것입니다. 그리고 진정으로 만족하는 유일한 방법은 당신이 위대한 일이라고 믿는 일을 하는 것입니다. 그리고 위대한 일을 할 수 있는 유일한 방법은 당신이 하는 일을 사랑하는 것입니다.

아직 그것을 찾지 못했다면, 계속 찾아보세요. 멈추지 마세요. 사랑과 관련된 모든 일처럼, 당신이 찾았을 때 직감적으로 알게 될 것입니다. 그리고 훌륭한 관계처럼, 그것은 시간이 흐를수록 더욱 좋아질 것입니다. 그러니 계속해서 찾으세요. 멈추지 마세요.

When we think about studying, we usually begin by sitting down at our desks. However, just sitting for a long time does not lead to better grades. What truly matters is your attitude toward studying.

That is why I would like to explain the proper attitude for studying during exams, dividing it into two parts.

In school, it is crucial to listen attentively to the teacher, whose lessons often provide the basis for the exam questions. Students who concentrate fully on class activities, rather than getting distracted or falling asleep, tend to perform much better.

There are some students who do academy homework during school hours, which may seem productive, but in reality, it's not effective since the actual exams are usually based on what your school teachers teach.

When studying alone, you should concentrate solely on studying, avoiding distractions as much as possible.

I recommend writing a daily planner in which you list all the tasks you need to complete. Once your plan is clearly laid out, it creates a sense of responsibility that helps you stay focused.

Having set goals, and trying your best to complete them each day, not only boosts your efficiency but also builds discipline.

Lastly, let me share something from personal experience.

If I had not been overconfident without sufficient preparation, I could have maintained better grades. Unfortunately, there were times when I was complacent, believing I would do well simply because I had done well before. And only to realize that consistent effort is what truly matters.

So I strongly urge you: keep working hard until the very end, without becoming complacent.

Studying consistently with the right attitude is the key to effective and efficient exam preparation.

I feel a great sense of fulfillment when I am able to deliver appropriate punishment to those who commit wrongdoings. However, I also feel disappointed when I believe that the sentence handed down is too light to reflect the severity of the crime. In such moments, I remind myself of my original purpose and strive even harder to render better and fairer judgments.

My success has come from patience and perseverance. I have never given up, and step by step, I have come this far. Good judgment is the value I cherish most. I believe that a judge must go beyond simply applying the law; understanding people and society, and making decisions guided by conscience and careful consideration, is what defines the true path of a judge.

A trial can determine the course of a person's life—or even the lives of many. I always bear the weight of this responsibility in mind, knowing that I serve as the last safeguard for the rights and safety of the people. I strive to ensure that no one is left hurt or unjustly treated in the name of the law.

I will continue to embrace the changes in society and the diversity of values, and I will never stop studying to become a better judge whom the public can trust. As the law itself never stands still, neither should a judge. This is why I have made "never stop learning" my personal principle.

To me, being a judge is not simply an occupation—it is a calling to realize justice in society. I will never forget that behind every case is a human life. With this in mind, I am determined to remain a judge who is fair, principled, and compassionate.

I chose this career because writing programs is fun for me. 

I overcame hard programming classes and learned how to write code. 

My proudest moment was when I made my own program. 

My success came from my patience and hard work.

My core values are effort, patience, and honesty. 

I want to help people with a program I create myself. 

You will succeed, Never give up and keep moving forward.

We looked into the positive effects that energy drinks have on our bodies. According to an American scientific journal, energy drinks contain antioxidants and vitamins that help prevent aging, and vitamins C, E, and serorepine help recover from fatigue. Therefore, it is helpful for people who work or study late at night. It is also a popular drink that high school and even middle school students drink like a beverage because it is not expensive.

However, there is a downside to this energy drink. Energy drinks help our bodies recover from fatigue and improve concentration in the short term, but they are not good in the long term. If you drink energy drinks, you can suffer from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), fatigue, and insomnia, and these symptoms can occur even if you drink one or two glasses a day. In addition, since glucose is the main additive, it can cause diabetes, and since it contains a lot of caffeine, it can cause acute heart failure.

Energy drinks that give us carrots and sticks, eating carrots may make you feel good for a while, but the scars from the sticks do not easily disappear over time. If you think about the negative aspects, wouldn't it be better not to drink energy drinks? When you're tired, drink a glass of ice water to wake up.

First, dementia. Waste generated by the brain's activity during the day is discharged from the brain only after a deep night's sleep. However, if you don't get enough sleep, the waste won't get out of your brain, which can lead to dementia. Less sleep can lead to poor cognitive ability and poor memory, which can worsen symptoms of dementia.

Secondly, I have a short temper. According to actual research, if you sleep less, your personality is likely to turn into a hot-tempered person. If you don't get enough sleep, fatigue can lead to our mood and cause negative thoughts and a lot of irritation.

So far, we've seen why you need to get enough sleep. Health is the most important thing in life, so I hope you get enough sleep

Today, I'm going to talk about ways to effectively manage the money you earn.

First of all, it's important to write a plan, which is to write a consumption plan. It's good to write on paper, and you can write it anywhere using digital devices. For example, in the 'Toss' application, which students use a lot these days, you can see your own consumption trends by dividing your consumption by types such as 'food expenses', 'leisure', and 'transportation'.

Also, making extra income can be a way to manage your income. Pay attention to activities that can make extra income, such as deposits, installment savings, and stocks.

For this, it is also important to look at the recent economic trends.

Now in 2025, at an economic lecture at COEX in Seoul, Steve Bryce, SC Group's chief investment strategist, said, "Lower expected returns, focus on diversified investment."

Remember, earning a fixed income is not all about economic activity, and you should manage your income efficiently.

I also like it so much, but I like this, so I chose my job as a physical education teacher.

From now on, I will introduce one by one the reasons that became my dream of becoming a physical education teacher.

The reason why I pursued this dream is because I started playing soccer when I was 10 years old, and I became interested in physical education

Because I like cooperative sports so much and I like to teach anyone

If I become a physical education teacher, my ultimate goal is to become a physical education teacher who received support from a lot of students

I want to go out. That's why I'm going to be very self-improvement, and I'm going to be very proud of myself.

What led me to become a physical education teacher? That is my athleticism. I have been exercising and exercising since I was young

I think I decided to become a physical education teacher as my dream because I like to play and exercise.

The most important keyword in becoming a physical education teacher is equality and warmth. In some cases, it is teaching children

It's because I think children will remember it as a comfortable and pleasant physical education teacher only when there is equality and warmth.

My physical education teacher's future plan is to get recognition by publicizing my own physical education activities to others while I am a physical education teacher.

It's because I thought other people would be proud of the sports activities I made.

My most important word is, "Look at the look on the face of the person who really succeeded and said something to you." To the people who criticized my dream and pointed fingers at me

Because I want to prove that I'm different.

I started to like dogs after visiting a dog café.

I studied hard about animals' minds and bodies.

It was seeing animals run and play happily.

I can help animals and people live in harmony.

I value being friendly with animals.

I plan to go on an animal tour around the world.

Let’s explore and study rare animals around the world.

I started this career becaue i love playing basketball

I over hard physical training and tough workouts

My proudest moment was winning the kbl championship finals

My height and good shooting skills helped me succeed

My core value is strong desire to win

I want to become the highest-player in the kbl

work hard and don`t give up

I chose this career because I wanted to hold concerts with my songs

It was not always easy—I had moments when I wanted to give up, but I didn’t.

One of the proudest moments in my life was when I had my first concert.

I believe my creativity and perseverance have helped me succeed.

I always try to enjoy what I do, and that is my core value.

In the future, I plan to perform on bigger stages.

If I could hear from my future self, the message would be: "You can do it."

Guys...

there's a way to go from short legs to long legs...

would you like to hear about it?

It's called the Taller Nutrient!

Let's talk about nutraceuticals:

First, the principle of nutraceuticals is to support growth hormone secretion or provide nutrients for bone growth. Growth hormone plays an important role in stimulating bone chondrocytes to lengthen bones, and nutrients provide the building blocks of bone. Among them, amino acids stimulate growth hormone secretion, vitamin D helps with calcium absorption, and vitamin K increases bone strength. These are the nutrients that help you grow taller.

So the “nutrient effect” is pretty much meaningless. To date, no nutrient has been scientifically proven to increase height (because while there are nutrients that help you grow taller, there are no nutrients that make you grow taller).

And let's not forget about the “side effects” of nutritional supplements. There are three: excessive calcium intake can lead to kidney stones, which can strain kidney function, and excessive zinc intake can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain.

Finally, you may develop allergies to certain ingredients. After all, supplements that are supposed to make you taller don't actually make you taller, they just help release growth hormone or provide nutrients for bone growth. And if you take too much, it can actually overwhelm your body and weaken it.

First, when we don’t get enough sleep, our brain’s ability to process information declines, making it difficult to make everyday decisions and solve problems.

Second, we become more sensitive and irritable because the amygdala, the brain’s emotion control center, becomes overactive, making us more sensitive to stress.

Lastly, sleep plays a crucial role in maintaining hormonal balance. Sleep deprivation decreases the hormone that makes us feel full and increases the hormone that stimulates appetite. This can lead to overeating and may become a cause of high blood pressure or heart disease.

So what are some effective ways to survive this business recession?

There are two main types of marketing.

They are online marketing and offline marketing.

Let's look at effective online marketing first

The most efficient way is to utilize the most influential people nowadays,

influencers, which means you can entrust them with your advertising. For example, according to a

survey conducted by Revue, an influencer platform, 70% of advertisers who entrusted their ads to influencers said they were

satisfied and would do it again.

Next, let's look at offline marketing.

Offline marketing methods include pop-up stores, product discounts, and other ways to connect directly with

customers and increase awareness.

According to a survey by market research firm Embrain, 800 out of 1,000 adults

say that special events like pop-up stores and discounts

help spread awareness of a company.

There are many success stories and methods for marketing early-stage startups.

However, if you take your business and marketing for granted, you're likely to fail.

I think the most important thing in marketing is persistence and a challenging spirit that doesn't let failure stop you.

If you utilize the above methods and a persistent challenging spirit, I guarantee you will grow into a great

marketer and entrepreneur.

Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

I was interested in public services, especially in areas like the environment and welface

I faced problems while doing many tasks, but I listened to others and tried to understand their opinions to solve them

My proudest moment was when I identified a critical issue, suggested a solution, and saw that solution being implemented successfully.

My perseverance and patience helped me overcome challenges and keep working hard, no matter how difficult the tasks were.

My core values are communication and empathy, as I believe they are essential for understanding and helping others.

When we study the history of science, we must view it from the perspective of the time. If we look at it through a modern lens, we may overlook the value science held in those earlier eras. That’s why we should not disregard past science just because it doesn’t align with modern perspectives.

Next, we must be able to identify the causes behind scientific discoveries. There are many reasons why new scientific facts emerge. Sometimes a scientist is born with exceptional intelligence, grows up in a wealthy household, or develops new science to solve a societal problem. Understanding these causes is very important.

For example, consider Einstein’s theory of relativity. One of the key reasons it was developed was to measure time accurately on trains.

Lastly, we must recognize that science is created by many people. Science constantly evolves. It is revised, erased, and added to over time. Therefore, science is a collaborative outcome made by many contributors. Even the concept of free fall motion, which we learn about in physics class, is the result of the work of many people.

Through the history of science, we can understand science itself—and through science, we can better understand the world. Develop scientific insight through the history of science.

Study groups offer a variety of benefits, and today, let’s explore how they can positively impact your learning.

First, study groups can be an effective way to improve academic performance.

By sharing questions and solving problems together, you can increase your accuracy and even predict potential exam questions in advance.

In fact, a student from another class improved their mock exam scores by getting help from friends in understanding difficult problems.

Second, study groups help manage time more efficiently compared to studying alone.

By dividing up the material, you can cover more content in a shorter period.

One student group run by the school was able to organize and review the exam material much faster this way.

Lastly, studying with friends helps with long-term memory retention.

Activities such as quizzing each other and asking questions strengthen memory.

According to a news article, our brain remembers not only information we learn intellectually but also physical experiences.

This means that the act of asking and answering questions itself positively affects long-term memory.

Rather than just knowing about the benefits of study groups, why not try them out yourself and achieve better learning outcomes?

I’ve always had a passion for sports and fitness. Seeing how physical activity positively impacts mental and physical health inspired me to help others experience the same benefits.

One of the biggest challenges was earning trust and respect from clients in the beginning. I had to prove my knowledge, build rapport, and stay consistent in my efforts.

My proudest moment was when a long-term client told me that I changed their life. They lost weight, gained confidence, and even pursued a career in fitness themselves.

Consistency, empathy, strong communication skills, and a deep understanding of physical training methods all played a key role in my success.

Health, discipline, positivity, and personal growth are the core values I strive to uphold in both my professional and personal life.

I plan to open my own fitness studio and create customized programs for different age groups, including children, seniors, and athletes.

“Keep going. Your passion and dedication are transforming lives. Never underestimate the power of movement.”

 For example, in the 'Toss' application, which students use a lot these days, you can see your own consumption trends by dividing types such as 'food expenses', 'leisure', and 'transportation', etc.

Also, making extra income can be a way to manage your income. Pay attention to activities that can make extra income, such as deposits, installment savings, and stocks.
For this, it is also important to look at the recent economic trends.

Now in 2025, at an economic lecture at COEX in Seoul, Steve Bryce, SC Group's investment strategist, said "Lower expected returns, focus on diversified investment."

Remember, earning a fixed income isn't all about economic activity, and you should manage your income efficiently.

Did you know that humans can now mimic the process of photosynthesis?

When I first heard about this idea in class, I became really curious and decided to look into it more deeply.

Today, I’d like to share what I learned.

I’m going to introduce a fascinating technology called artificial photosynthesis.

So first, what exactly is artificial photosynthesis?

Just like plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce glucose and oxygen,

scientists are now trying to mimic key parts of that process using advanced chemical systems.

In simple terms, artificial photosynthesis turns sunlight, CO₂, and water into useful fuels — like hydrogen or methanol — instead of sugar.

It’s basically nature’s idea, recreated by human technology.

Next, artificial photosynthesis has many advantages.

First, it can help reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere — one of the main causes of global warming.

Second, it can produce clean, renewable fuel without harming the environment.

In the future, factories might capture the CO₂ they release and reuse it to make energy — nothing goes to waste.

That’s the power of this technology.

Then, how is artificial photosynthesis different from solar energy?

Solar panels only convert sunlight into electricity.

But artificial photosynthesis stores sunlight energy in chemical bonds, creating fuel that can be used even when the sun isn’t shining.

In other words, solar power gives instant energy, while artificial photosynthesis provides long-term, storable energy.

In conclusion, artificial photosynthesis is a highly sustainable technology that could help protect our planet’s environment.

It’s a perfect example of how humans can learn from nature to solve global challenges.

If we continue to develop it, one day we might live in a world powered by sunlight — just like the plants around us.

Thank you for listening.

So today, I want to share with you how to keep your mind steady without being controlled by emotions.

The first method is “Don’t react immediately.”
When emotions rise, our first instinct is to react right away  to defend ourselves, argue, or escape. But that’s exactly when mistakes happen.
If you wait just one minute before responding, it gives your mind enough time to cool down.
That short pause can stop you from saying or doing something you’ll regret later.

The second method is “Remember the values you want to protect.”
When you feel strong emotions, remind yourself what truly matters your goals, your peace, your relationships.
If you keep your values in mind, emotions can’t drag you wherever they want.
Instead, you’ll guide your emotions in a direction that matches your principles.

In the end, emotions are not our enemies — they’re signals from our mind.
But when we learn to pause before reacting and to hold onto our values, we gain the power to stay calm no matter what happens.
So next time emotions start to rise, take a breath, wait a moment, and remember what truly matters to you.
That’s how you protect your peace — and your mind.

Thank you.

Some of you might say yes, some no, and some may only do it when your muscles hurt.

But today, I want to show you why stretching around your workout is not just a good idea, but an essential one.

In this speech, I will explain the importance of stretching before and after exercise, and how doing it the right way can protect your body and improve your performance.

(시각자료 1)

To begin, let’s look at how stretching works.

When we stretch, we lengthen our muscles and increase blood flow.

Before exercise, stretching helps prepare our muscles for movement.

It warms up the body and increases flexibility, reducing the risk of injury.

After exercise, stretching helps muscles relax and return to their normal length, which reduces stiffness and improves recovery.

Imagine your muscles are like rubber bands.

If you suddenly pull a cold rubber band, it might snap. But if you warm it up and stretch it gently, it becomes flexible and strong.

That’s exactly how our muscles work.

Now that we know why stretching is important, let’s learn how to do it properly.

(시각자료 2)

First, remember that not all stretching is the same.

Before exercise, we should focus on dynamic stretching, such as leg swings, arm circles, or walking lunges.

These active movements warm up the body and prepare it for action.

After exercise, we use static stretching—holding a position still, such as touching your toes or stretching your arms behind your back.

These stretches help cool down the body and improve long-term flexibility.

Breathing is also important.

Breathe slowly and deeply.

Never force a stretch or bounce, because that can cause injury.

In conclusion, stretching before and after exercise may seem small, but it has a big impact.

Before exercise, it prepares your muscles and prevents injuries.

After exercise, it helps your body recover and stay flexible.

So next time you work out, remember—just a few minutes of stretching can protect your body, improve your performance, and keep you healthy.

Thank you for listening. I hope you start stretching with confidence from now on.

But is home advantage simply a coincidence or a real phenomenon? So today I'm going to look at home advantage and how spectators affect the game in soccer. First, home advantage means that the home team has an advantage over the away team due to various factors such as travel distance, support, and referee decisions. In soccer, this home advantage is particularly evident and is known to have a significant impact on the actual outcome of the game. So does home advantage really affect the outcome of a game? In fact, if you look at the home and away win percentages of the top six teams in the English Premier League, all six teams have a higher home win percentage than their away win percentage. Next, how much influence do spectators have on a soccer match? In fact, we compared team performances in 15 leagues before and after COVID-19. Before COVID-19, when there were spectators, the performance gap between home and away teams was large, but after COVID-19, when there were no spectators, the gap between home and away teams' performances was greatly reduced.

In this way, we found that home advantage and spectators in soccer matches have a significant impact on the outcome of the game.

So, if you have a team you support, I hope you cheer hard for your team to win.

Thank you

Thesis statement:
Today, I’m going to talk about what people think is the best mathematical concept.

Body:
Topic sentence 1:
First, many people believe that the four basic operations—addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division—are the best mathematical concept.
People chose the basic operations because they see them as the beginning of all mathematics. Without them, we wouldn’t be able to calculate anything at all.
Also, we use them most often in our daily lives, whether we are shopping, cooking, or measuring something. For this reason, many people think that the four basic operations are the foundation and the most important concept in math.

Topic sentence 2:
The second most popular answer was the Pythagorean Theorem.
People chose it because it’s very useful in real life—for example, when we measure distances or build something.
It’s also the base for many other mathematical ideas and formulas.
In fact, many students first realize how math connects to the real world through this theorem.

Topic sentence 3:
Lastly, some people answered “1 + 1 = 2.”
They said this because they believe math began the moment we defined that one plus one equals two.
It’s simple, but it represents the starting point of all logical thinking in mathematics.
In a way, it’s the first true statement that opened the door to all other mathematical discoveries.

Conclusion:
There isn’t a single answer to what the greatest mathematical concept is.
However, we can see that people tend to choose ideas they often encounter in their daily lives.
Whether it’s the four basic operations, the Pythagorean Theorem, or even “1 + 1 = 2,” all of these show how math is deeply connected to how we think and live every day.
Thank you.

Today, I would like to talk about two reasons why mosquitoes can have good effects on our lives: first, the way they bite humans without causing pain, and second, how genetically modified mosquitoes are used to prevent diseases.

First of all, mosquitoes bite humans in a way that does not cause pain at the moment. When a mosquito bites, it releases a small amount of saliva that works like a natural painkiller. This allows the mosquito to feed without being noticed. Although this may seem unpleasant, this ability has helped scientists learn more about pain control and anesthesia. By studying how mosquitoes bite without pain, researchers gain ideas that may help improve medical treatments and develop better pain-relief methods for humans.

Second, mosquitoes are now being used in advanced scientific technology to help prevent diseases. Scientists have developed genetically modified mosquitoes that cannot spread dangerous diseases such as malaria or dengue fever. Some of these mosquitoes reduce the population of disease-carrying mosquitoes, while others stop viruses from growing inside their bodies. As a result, releasing these modified mosquitoes into certain areas has helped lower the number of infections and protect human lives. This shows that mosquitoes, when used wisely, can actually become a tool for improving public health.

In conclusion, although mosquitoes are often disliked, they are not entirely harmful. Their painless biting helps scientists understand pain control, and genetically modified mosquitoes play an important role in preventing serious diseases. By changing the way we see mosquitoes, we can better understand how even small and annoying creatures can contribute positively to human life. Thank you for listening.

Smartphones can actually help students study more effectively.

For example, we can use learning apps such as Classcard or problem-solving apps to review vocabulary and practice questions anytime, anywhere.

They make learning more flexible and fun.

However, there are also negative effects.

Too much smartphone use can lower concentration, reduce study time, and even cause lack of sleep.

When students spend too much time on social media or games, it becomes difficult to focus on their studies.

Therefore, we need to learn how to use smartphones wisely.

For example, we can use them to watch online lectures or take notes on tablets.

If we manage our screen time and use educational apps, smartphones can become powerful learning tools instead of distractions.

In conclusion, smartphones can be both helpful and harmful to our studies, depending on how we use them.

If we use them wisely and control our time, smartphones can be great tools to improve our learning and academic success.

Today, I will talk about whether AI will truly replace all human jobs — or if it will simply change the kinds of work we do.

First, let’s look at the types of jobs that are being replaced by AI.
According to a report from Goldman Sachs in 2023, about 75 million full-time jobs around the world could be automated by AI.
For example, repetitive office tasks such as data entry, basic accounting, and customer service are now often done by AI systems.
In manufacturing, robots already perform over 60% of assembly-line work in some countries like Japan.

As we can see, manufacturing has the highest automation rate, with robots performing over 60% of tasks in some factories.

However, AI has also created new kinds of jobs.
The World Economic Forum reported that AI could generate 97 million new jobs by 2025.
These include AI engineers, data scientists, prompt designers, and robot maintenance specialists.
In fact, companies that use AI often hire more people for creative or technical tasks that AI cannot handle alone.

This pie chart shows the new jobs created by AI, such as engineers, data scientists, and prompt designers.

Now, let’s compare the two sides.
While AI may replace 43% of routine or manual jobs, it will also create 58% more high-skilled or technology-based roles.
This shows that the total number of jobs might not decrease — but rather shift from simple tasks to complex and creative ones.

To summarize, AI is indeed transforming our workplaces — some jobs disappear, but many new ones are born.
If we look back to the First Industrial Revolution, machines replaced manual labor, but they also created new industries and professions.
In the same way, the AI revolution doesn’t mean the end of human work.
It means the beginning of a new era — one where humans and AI work together to achieve more than ever before.

Thank you.

The Colosseum shows the amazing engineering skills of ancient Rome.
It was completed around A.D. 80 and could hold about 50,000 people at once.
The Romans used limestone, concrete, and iron to build a strong and detailed structure.
Under the arena, there were tunnels and machines to move animals and stage props.
This shows how advanced Roman technology was at that time.

The Colosseum is not a perfect circle but an oval shape.
It has four levels and many arch-shaped entrances so people could enter quickly.
It was mainly used for gladiator fights and public shows,
and it was the most popular entertainment place for Roman citizens.
More than just an arena, it was a symbol of Rome’s power and glory.

Today, the Colosseum is one of the most famous World Heritage Sites in Rome.

Although parts of it were destroyed over time, it has been restored to keep its form.

Now, it is a popular tourist attraction where visitors can experience ancient Roman history and culture.

The Colosseum is a great reminder that the past can still inspire people today.

The Colosseum is a building that shows both the engineering skills of ancient Rome and how Rome has changed over time.

Gustave Eiffel used mathematical calculations and wind resistance studies to make the structure stable.
Each iron piece was precisely shaped to handle wind pressure.
Because the tower is made of iron lattice, the wind passes through it easily instead of pushing it over.
Also, the tower expands and contracts slightly with temperature changes, showing how flexible and safe the design is.

At first, many Parisians thought the tower was ugly and useless.
But soon, it became a symbol of modern engineering and French pride.
It was the tallest structure in the world until 1930, and people from all over the world came to see it.
Today, it represents not only Paris but also innovation, romance, and human creativity.

In conclusion, the Eiffel Tower is more than just a tourist attraction.
It shows how innovative construction methods, careful engineering, and cultural pride can create a symbol that lasts for centuries.
Next time you see the Eiffel Tower, remember — it’s not just made of iron; it’s built on human imagination and determination.
Thank you for listening!

The first example is water purification

Polluted water can be cleaned through chemical treatment steps such as coagulation, sedimentation, filtration, and disinfection.

These steps use chemical coagulants and oxidizing agents instead of enzymes to remove suspended solids and harmful microorganisms.

(Visual 1)

As shown in this diagram, each stage plays a key role—coagulation gathers particles, filtration removes impurities, and disinfection ensures safe drinking water.

Next, let’s look at air purification.
Chemistry also purifies the air. Scientists have developed a water-washable ceramic catalyst filter that cleans polluted air. It uses UV light and chemical catalysts like TiO₂ and Cu₂O to break down harmful gases into carbon dioxide and water.   At the same time, it traps fine dust in the membrane layer.

(Visual 2) 

This filter can even be washed and reused, making it both effective and eco-friendly.

Finally, chemistry also helps us keep our food fresh for longer periods.
By controlling oxidation and microbial growth through safe preservatives or packaging materials, chemistry prevents food from spoiling too quickly.
(Visual 3)
This invention, for example, uses a thin chemical layer that blocks oxygen from entering the package—keeping fruits and snacks crisp and tasty.
In conclusion, chemistry is deeply connected to our everyday lives—from the water we drink, to the air we breathe, and even the food we eat.
It is a field that continuously creates innovations to make our world healthier and more sustainable.
So next time you drink a glass of clean water or open a fresh snack, remember—chemistry made it possible.
Thank you for listening.

Thesis statement:
In this speech, I will compare my sleep pattern with healthy sleep habits, and then explain the pros and cons of sleep to show why sleeping well is so important.

Body

Topic sentence 1:
First, let’s compare my sleep with what healthy sleep should look like.

Visual 1:
According to my sleep data, I went to bed at 2:12 a.m. and woke up at 6:37 a.m., which means I slept less than five hours.
I also moved between light and deep sleep many times, so my rest wasn’t stable.
In contrast, good sleep usually lasts seven to eight hours and includes long periods of deep sleep.
While I often wake up tired and unfocused, people who get enough quality sleep wake up refreshed, energetic, and ready to learn.
This comparison helped me understand that the time and quality of sleep are both important for a healthy life.

Topic sentence 2:
Now, let’s talk about the pros and cons of sleep in general.

Visual 2:
Good sleep has many benefits. It improves memory, concentration, and creativity.
It also helps our body grow and strengthens the immune system.
However, poor sleep has clear disadvantages.
When we don’t sleep enough, we become tired, stressed, and easily distracted.
Lack of sleep can even affect our emotions and make it harder to stay positive.
So, sleep can be both powerful and harmful — depending on how we manage it.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, sleep is one of the most important parts of our daily lives.
It gives us energy, focus, and happiness. Without it, everything becomes harder — learning, thinking, and even smiling.
That’s why we should all take sleep seriously and try to rest well every night.
Remember: good sleep means a good life.
So tonight, put away your phone, close your eyes, and sleep well.
Thank you.
