08-09 TTC 2D Board (Presentation Speech to Judges)

Ladies and Gentlemen, [各位來賓]

We are pleased to explain the design of our board to you.

First, one country, two languages. [首先，一個國家，兩種語言。] We use our mother tongue (n. ph. 母語) and our national flag (n. ph. 國旗) in our board to show our love for China. China is the homeland (n. 祖國) of 1.3 billion people including us. Chinese sportsmen tried their best to do well in Beijing Olympics and we are proud of our country. But when we have to welcome guests (n. 客人) from other countries and guests like you, we would use English because it is an international (n. 國際的) language.

Second, a 7-coloured rainbow to success. [第二，一道通往成功的七色彩虹。] We have learned from Olympics that we can succeed with flying colours with the following: knowledge [n. 知識], understanding [n. 認識], courage [n. 膽色], characteristics[n. 特色], appreciation [n. 賞識], consensus [n. 共識] and perseverance [n.永不止息 (毅力)].

Last, everyone is number one. [最後，每個人都是第一名。] The number 2 and the dog on the rainbow mean us, 2D students. All of us are running closer and closer to success. Although there are a lot of difficulties during our preparation of the board, we have tried our best to finish it. Other people may not think our board is the best, but in our mind, EVERYONE IS NUMBER ONE!
