Dear teachers and students,


Good morning. I am Ameya from Grade 9A and she is Della from G7A. The theme of our speech under the flag today is: To deliver the Spirit of Sports and enjoy the Sports Week.


How many of you are fascinated by the Olympic sports this summer? Well, certainly I am. If I were to work on one thing only in my whole life, it would be to become a better badminton player, to play in the Olympics of course. I bet many of you have a sporty dream as I do. I see many of my friends, during many breaks, they are playing basketball and playing table tennis. 


Della is also a sporty girl. When she was in Grade two, she was introduced to horse riding. Up to now, she has been learning horse riding for four years. At first, she tried to adapt to the long and exciting weekly training. She has passed the examination and taken part in many kinds of competitions. Every time after the examination, her coach will set the obstacle higher. The highest jump she has ever made was 130 centimetres, which is equal to the highest level in the examination. For now, she wants to participate in more competitions and achieve better results.


So have you ever wondered what it is about sports, then, that it makes people so addictive? In my opinion, it is the competitiveness, it is the genuine passion of that sport, it is also your attitude and mindset. These things make a perfect recipe for us to enjoy the sports.


Speaking of attitude and mindset, last week in Literature class, we watched one of Denzel Washington’s great speeches. He talked about taking failing. He said, “If I am going to fall (fail), I don’t want to fall back on anything. I want to fall forward. I figured at least this way, I will see what I am going to hit.” He also said, “Don’t be afraid to fail big, to dream big, but remember, dreams, without goals, are just dreams.” It absolutely moved me. I think that is the mindset you need to have while playing sports, while doing anything, or while playing life as it is just another very big game.


With that in mind, let’s give it our best at this year’s Sports Week. Every single one can participate and cooperate in games, care about other members in the CBS community and bring excellence and spirit to life in the field.


Dream big, fail big, but remember that dreams without goals are just dreams.” That’s all for today’s speech. Thanks for listening.
