Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. It is a great honor for me to participate this ceremony and a great pleasure for me to share the excitement and happiness with you. I have a good news and a bad news for you. Would you like to hear the good news first, or the bad news first? The bad news? OK. The bad news is that I have been invited to deliver a speech, and my speech will last for two hours. My speech will include three parts. Part one, my personal experience of learning legal English. Part two, the difficulties in learning legal English. Part three, the best way to learn legal English. Shall I start my speech now? Well, I forgot to tell you the good news. The good news is that my speech has been cancelled. Thank you. Therefore, I will not deliver a speech, instead, I will deliver some copies of my books to the winners of the competition…
