B.Useful Tips (offered by Susan Wu)
1.	Be creative!“Oh! Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?” "Shall I hear more? Or shall I speak at this? I never saw true beauty till this night. It is my soul that calls upon my name. How silver sweet, sound lovers tongues by night. Like softest music to attending ear's.” “Opening” can get people attention immediately. Be creative! Always try something different to entertain and surprise your audience.
2.	Be brave! Ballroom Dancing has different levels. For example, Amateur, Professional class C, Professional class B, and the highest Professional class A. Modern Dancing, included Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, and Quickstep. Latin Dancing, included Cha-Cha-Cha, Lumbar, Samba, Paso, and Jive. Do some research for your speech, be brave, and show it with your body language.
3.	Have passion for your topicRead the manual, choose the topic that you are interested, and be prepared. With the topic that you are interested, you can deliver a good speech, people can benefit from your sharing, get different life experiences and success for the rapidly changing world.
