“When There’s a Will, There’s a Way” Speech at Third Annual “Chinese Bridge” University Student Chinese Speech Contest
By Franklin A. Eneh, Clark University, Chinese teacher: Ya-chen Chen
(Franklin A. Eneh is a contestant of the Third Annual “Chinese Bridge” University Student Chinese Speech Contest in New England Area. He gave this speech in Chinese on March 23 at UMass Boston.)Before studying abroad in China I was full of expectations. Through studying hard in China I gradually raised my Chinese level. I was once very adamant about speaking Chinese every day. My life upon arriving to China was very pleasant. In this environment very different from the U.S., I learned a lot about Chinese culture and also made many friends from different countries to the point where I felt reluctant to leave. It was the first time I ever enjoyed carefree living. In the midst of this wonderful new experience I transitioned from being rather introverted and shy to becoming very open and optimistic.
Franklin recites a Chinese poem at the talent show portion of the contest.
