SPG
Turnover Speech
24
March 2017
A pleasant
morning to all our esteemed guests (___________________, _________________,
__________________,_________________)
and mentors and to all my fellow-students. I am very thankful that I was given
the chance being the president of our district in the past year. Although, I could not mention a physical project
that I have accomplished, I assure you that I become more of a leader in the
past year.
Being a
student to my school, I have become more responsible in many ways I could never
imagine. I learned to become a big
sister to fellow students and to take responsibility to the tasks I was given
to lead on. Opo, nagkaroon ako ng pakiramdam
na maging mas responsable at manguna sa aking mga kamag-aral. I kept in mind that I MUST become a good
leader to be followed – that I have to show perseverance (pagiging matiyaga,
creativity (pagiging malikhain), resourcefulness(pagiging mapamaraan) and a
quality team player (mahusay na kasapi ng anumang grupo) that I have really not
discovered yet of myself. Nakahihiyang
makita o maramdaman ng kapwa ko kamag-aral na ako’y nanginginig kapag nahihirapan , that I can not think of a
solution to accomplish what we should. Ang
posisyon po na ito ang nagbigay sa akin ng tapang para magtiwala sa sarili ko
at maniwala na kakayanin ko. Because for
me, had I become weak, idle or absent-minded, hindi ko man sadyain ay ito ang
nagiging pagpapakilala sa ating mga kabataan at mag-aaral sa Silangang Lopez.
Think that
in everything we do, we are representing not just our own self but all the
students of Lopez District. Ipakita natin sa lahat na tayo ay world class students. We must be respectful of our teachers, be
honest at all times, be studious and be aware of our surroundings – at kailangang
may manners po tayo. At makita sa atin na nagagamit natin ang mga natutunan sa
paaralan mapa-yan ay academic, sociability o aspetong moral man- ‘ika nga ‘The highest form of learning is
application’, masasabi mo bang natuto ka kung hindi mo naman naisasabuhay
ang mga inaral mo. And if others can,
why can’t you (kung kaya ng iba bakit hindi mo kakayanin). Kung hindi ka magtitiwala sa sarili mo LALONG
WALANG DAHILAN ang iba na pagkatiwalaan ka.
I want to encourage every elected
officer today (hinihikayat ko po ang bawat nahalal ngayong araw na ito), to
bear in mind that being a GOOD leader is an option (na maaaring piliin ang
MAGING mabuting lider. You can choose to become one if you like
(maari kang maging isa kung gusto mo). Ang
mahusay na lider ay hindi nagpapalagay na ang mga ideya o opinion niya ang
PINAKAmahusay, lagi siyang bukas sa suhestiyon ng iba at pangunahing
isinasa-alang-alang ang kapakanan ng mga nasasakupan sa anumang pagpapasya at
mga proyekto.
Nawa ay
maisalin ko sa inyo ang mga ganitong kaisipan. Sa iyo, bagong Pangulo – nawa ay
magawa mo ang mga hindi ko nagawa. Makaisip ka ng mga proyektong
mapapakinabangan ng mga kamag-aaral natin at makapagsagawa ng mga fund raising activities para
maisakatuparan ang mga ito.
Mabuhay
students of Lopez East District! Kudos to our teachers! You help made us what
we have become.
Magandang
umaga po sa inyong lahat.

Delivery Tips:
-It is
better to opt for a spontaneous speech with a help of outline say a paper
listing five main ideas of your whole speech rather reading. Ideas that when
you see will lead you to remembering what you need to say. The outline will
serve us a guide or reminder. However a proficient a speaker is, in a random
speech IMPORTANT MESSAGE left unsaid and you may regret it later that you have forgotten
to say it.
-Eye
contact with your audience.
- Make sure
that the audience can relate to what you are saying so that you can take hold
of their attention. Rapport. You can do
that by SUPPOSING you are JUST IN A FRIENDLY not so stiff conversation with
them. Glancing on each corner of the conference hall, do it naturally- that way
you make everyone feel NOT out-of-place or that they belong there.
-If you opt
to use another language for your speech other than your native tongue, make sure
that you understand EACH AND EVERY word you are saying so that you can show
CONVICTION, that you really mean what you say and know its consequences etc.
- Listening
to a monotonous speaker makes the audience sleepy and inattentive. Try to use
different words (synonyms) repeating words in a single a paragraph makes your
speech boring. Use Thesaurus to help you with synonyms.
Put color
to your voice by varying loudness or softness and emphasizing words that needed
to be noted. Sometimes a little clean
humor wakes the audience.
