A special talk about my daughter
Hello, everyone. Today, in
my presentation, I wanna give a special talk about my daughter Cindy. Why not
talk something about myself? Because two months ago, I landed to Canada for the first time. And now
I’ve been in LINC training and have to care for my daughter everyday. While my
Dear Ling said, ‘Canada,
I’m ready, I came.’ I have to say, ‘Canada, wait a moment’. I hope that
the year of 2016 will write down new stories about me and everyone here. You
know, I have a 7-year-old.daughter. She’s
a very cute girl. She’s clever, outgoing and cheerful. She likes swimming,
skiing, skating, soccer. And She likes reading, painting, playing piano, doing
presentation, and so forth. So, I’d like to share some funny talks about her. And
I even want to show her special presentation that was the recital in her public
speaking class. Now, let me start.
One day, I picked up her from school. On the way home, I said to her. ‘Cindy, you are accompanied everyday, Dad needs
a job to make money. You know ‘accompany’ ?’
‘A company?
yeah, I know. A Chinese TV program said, ’a family is a company.’ In our family,
Mom is General manager. And Dad is Assistant. ‘ She put on a show of surprise. Then
burst into laughter and said loudly.
‘Interesting!
but how about you ?’ I couldn’t help laughing and said.
‘I’m vice manager,
of course ‘ She said with grin.
‘ then, how
to make money?’ I said.
‘’Don’t
worry. Dad, My savings are over 100$. I can help you and Mom.
And, to make more money, maybe I can do translator for newcomers
in my class.’ She said with a happy chuckle.
‘Sounds
great!’ I said and laughed even more.
On a Saturday morning, I cleaned the snow around my house and did laundries. ‘Cindy,
Dad is so tired. You know, you just do homework. Dad must do so much housework.
Why housework is my homework?’ I said with a smile.
‘hah, Dad. My
teacher said, people have different works. But people should treat them as
equal things. ’ She retorted quickly.
‘You are
right. We should like our own works and work hard. Let’s go on.’ I said
satisfactorily.
In this March break, as soon as she had gone to art gallery, science centre, cinema,
gym & mall with parents, she plunged into the adventure camp. She’s so
popular around everywhere. Here are some snapshots about her talks.
In the art gallery:
After a guide
interpreter described a woman portrait of oil painting, she said curiously. ‘look,
when your eyes move around her eyes, you will find she’s like Mona
Lisa.’
‘A genius
girl.’ A middle-aged man with long beards stared at the portrait, then turned
round and said to me quietly.
In the gym:
‘after this running, you can go swimming, and take
a bath.’ She said like a professional instructor.
‘awesome, thank
you.’ A high school student said to her and laughed easily.
In the mall:
‘My mom
said, last year her car’s right tyre hit the curb and the car broke down. Bad
tyre is not safe ’ She said confidently.
‘ Amazing!’.
a woman was waiting her husband to fix their private car and said
appreciatively
So much so that I’m very proud of my daughter.
Now, Let me take a special show ’little Miss Bossy’. Let’s start from three useful words.
nosy----- someone that shows too much curiosity about other person's
affair
wizard---- a magician or someone who is very good at doing a
particular thing.
Wilfred----given name, derived from Germanic roots meaning
"will" and "peace"
OK. Start.
A little girl was very bossy. On Monday little Miss
Bossy went for a walk. She met Mr Nosey.’ where are you going?’ He asked.’Mind
your own business.’ she retorted.
On Tuesday she met Mr Noisy. He was singing. Noisily of course.’ Be
quiet!’ she told him.
On Wednesday she met Mr Happy. He was smiling. As usual.’Take that
silly smile off your face!’ she said. As
you can imagine, Little Miss Bossy wasn’t very popular. To say the least.
Now, little did Miss
Bossy realize, but somebody had
seen her bossing Mr Nosey about.
And that somebody had seen her bossing Mr Noisy about.
And that self-same somebody had seen her bossing Mr Happy about.
The wizard whose name incidentally was Wilfred went home, thinking.
‘Something really ought to be done about Miss Bossy,’ he
thought to himself as he walked along. That’s
all. Thanks so much for listening.
