Introduction
Propose of the topic
2 Study the language features.
(A) Have you ever faced a time when things looked dark and you had no hope at all Two years ago, I was told I had a serious disease which was difficult to cure. My body ached all the time and thus I thought I didn't have much longer to live. I was very afraid and I felt so alone and discouraged. Then one day, I had to go through a two-hour medical treatment. The doctor wanted me to relax, so he had me listen to some music, and one of the songs was "Happy". The song made me feel so much better that from then on I began to listen to music all the time. (B) John A. Logan said, "Music is the medicine of the mind." And it's true. Music helped me recover.
Personal anecdote
(C) Music gave me happiness. When I listened to music, (D)it made my spirits fly like a kite in the wind. (C) Music gave me strength and brought me relief. (E) It was the rock I leant on to become strong and to get through those hard times. Moreover, (C) music gave me hope and a sense of satisfaction. (F) It became my best friend. It spoke words of encouragement to the deepest part of my being.
Personal feeling
Of course, I hope none of you have to go through the same kind of suffering that I did. At the same time, we all go through various periods when we feel sad or alone. During those times, music can help you in the same way that it helped me. I hope all of you will somehow begin to treasure music and make it a part of your life.
Thank you!

Good morning, my dear classmates,
I feel honored to have the opportunity to deliver a speech on the power of music.
