Season’s Greetings from a Mother’s Classroom Instructor

Hello, and thank you for joining us for this special Mothers in the Classroom session.
Today we’re going to talk about your children’s health, specifically insomnia, which is a topic that’s gaining more and more attention these days.
Did you know that many children are struggling with insomnia these days?
Insomnia stems from a variety of causes, but it often stems from poor lifestyle habits.
In particular, prolonged insomnia can lead to chronic fatigue, poor learning, and even depression.
Therefore, it is important for us mothers to pay more attention to our children’s lifestyle habits.
If your child’s symptoms are not severe, you can try to improve them with a psychological approach before visiting a doctor.
This is where classical conditioning, a psychological theory of learning demonstrated by the Russian psychologist Pavlov, comes into play.
You’ve probably heard the story of Pavlov’s experiment.
He noticed that his dog would salivate at the sight of his food bowl or the sound of food being brought to him, even before he ate.
Pavlov was intrigued by this reaction, so he started experimenting to see if the same thing could happen without the actual food.
He repeatedly played the bell before feeding the dog, and eventually the sound of the bell alone caused him to salivate.
This phenomenon, in which a neutral stimulus (the bell), which originally did not trigger a response, becomes associated with an unconditioned stimulus (food) that does, and the neutral stimulus alone triggers a response, is known as classical conditioning.
This principle can also be used to treat insomnia.
Just as we associate the bell with the rice, we associate the bed with sleep.
In other words, you don’t do anything else in your bed, you just use your bed as a “sleeping place” and when you lie down in it, it triggers sleep.
But for people with insomnia, this association is often weak, and you need to rebuild it first.
Here are a few things you can do.
1. No distractions in bed
When you do things like read or play games in bed or on top of your comforter, you associate your bed with other behaviors.
As a result, when you’re in bed, you’re more likely to think about those behaviors than sleep.
2. Don’t go to bed when you’re not sleepy
If you force yourself to stay in bed when you don’t feel sleepy, daydreaming and other behaviors become associated with bed.
This can prevent them from falling asleep, making sleep feel shorter than it actually is, and causing fatigue the next day.
Insomnia in children can be improved by making small lifestyle changes.
But the most important thing is a mother’s constant attention and love.
If you pay close attention to your child’s condition and work with them, they will develop much healthier sleep habits.
The warmth of a mother’s attention is the best medicine.
I hope today’s talk has been helpful to you.
I’ll see you again in the next talk. Thank you.

3-minute talk at a daycare center

Hello, everyone.
My name is ○○○, and I’m the lecturer for today’s lecture at ○○’s daycare center.
I have been taking care of infants and toddlers for many years and have a deep understanding of their psychology and growth stages.
Many parents want their children to be smart and intelligent, and they want them to excel in school.
So how can we help our children grow up to be smart and do well?
Today we’re going to talk about it from a child’s perspective, for a child.
What makes a person more intelligent?
Is intelligence something we are born with?
Or does intelligence depend on the environment we live in – where and how we live?
This question has been the subject of long-standing debate, and the answer is still unclear, with a wide range of opinions in the academic community.
What is clear, however, is that it’s not enough to be born with great intelligence.
Intelligence is like a muscle in your leg or arm – it needs to be used and trained to develop.
Mental stimulation and exercise are especially important for young children.
Many child psychologists say that parents should play with their children often and give them things to think about.
When they do, children are more likely to grow up bright and intelligent.
On the other hand, if a child is left unattended for long periods of time or spends time alone, they are at greater risk of becoming less energetic and creative.
At the end of the day, intelligence isn’t just something you’re born with.
If you want to increase a child’s intellectual capacity, you need to give them opportunities to think with interest.
Simply hoping that your child will excel on their own won’t get them as far as you’d like.
In anything, the amount of attention and effort you put into it will determine the outcome.
It’s the same with raising a child.
Do you want your child to grow up smart?
Do you want them to grow up smarter than other kids?
If so, give them something to actively think about.
Play with them and expose them to new problems and challenges.
With all this attention and effort, your child’s thinking skills will grow and grow, and they will become smarter and more creative.
Thank you.

Children’s Day Celebration Speaker 3-minute speech

Good morning, everyone.
It’s a really sunny and pleasant day today.
Maybe it’s because it’s Children’s Day, but the weather is unusually nice.
The sun is shining, the breeze is cool, and it’s a great day to take the kids out in the countryside.
I’m happy to be here in front of you on Children’s Day.
But the story I want to tell you isn’t about children, it’s about adults.
Do you remember what you wanted to be when you were a kid?
You might have dreamed of being a teacher, a scientist, a police officer, a doctor, or something else.
How many of you have realized those dreams now? Probably not many.
Kids don’t think twice about their dreams, and when they want something, they take action.
That innocence is what makes children so special.
But what about adults?
Before we start doing something, we think about whether it will benefit us, how advantageous it will be, and whether it will hurt us.
We think things through and weigh our options carefully before we act.
But just because we’re adults doesn’t mean we don’t make mistakes.
In fact, even the most well-thought-out decisions can go wrong, sometimes hurting someone close to us.
Compared to children, are adults really more “efficient”?
I use the word “efficient” for those of you who love the word, but it’s probably not the best word to use in front of kids.
There’s no guarantee that the conclusions adults come to after a lot of thought will be good in the end.
When Nobel invented dynamite, he probably wanted to make people’s lives easier.
But it ended up being used for more unexpected purposes: mass destruction.
At the end of the day, you never know what people will do.
So if you don’t know what you’re going to do anyway, why not live your life with a little more purity of heart and a little more purity of action?
The sky is so clear today.
Just looking at the clear sky makes me feel like my heart is clear.
Do you think children’s hearts are as clear and clean as the sky?
If so, can’t we as adults try to be a little bit like them?
I think the world would be a much more peaceful place if adults had hearts as pure and clear as children’s.
That’s all for today’s Children’s Day story.
I hope today is a day to emulate your children.
Thank you.

3-minute lecture at a daycare center

Hello, everyone.
I’m ○○○, a reliable friend of children who always thinks from their point of view and protects them.
All of you here are parents who have enrolled your children in ○○’s daycare center, right?
You probably struggle every day to juggle your busy work life and family responsibilities.
Do you ever feel a little sorry for yourself when you leave your child at a daycare center?
Today, we’re going to talk about how to make up for it and what kids really want.
Many parents choose material rewards to show their children that they love them.
We buy them things they want in exchange for our time, but material rewards don’t fulfill what they really want.
It’s not new toys or expensive gifts that fill their hearts, it’s the genuine love of their parents.
Children have emotions that cannot be filled with possessions.
What they need most is the reassurance that they are loved just the way they are.
When many adults think back to their own childhoods and recount their most cherished memories, it’s not the gifts they received, but the small moments they shared with their parents – soccer games with their dad, sweet desserts baked by their grandmother.
What they really crave is time with their parents and the unconditional love that comes with it.
My question to the parents here is this.
Have you created memorable moments with your child?
If you’ve been buying your child every robot or doll they’ve ever wanted, it’s time to think a little differently.
Kids don’t want the latest toy, they want warm memories with you.
Don’t feel bad for not giving them those memories. Because it’s not too late.
And you’ve already taken a big step by being here today.
A lot of parents don’t come here, but you’ve taken a proactive step for your kids.
After today’s talk, go home and spend some time with your child.
Make eye contact, hug them, and show them love.
Children want your attention and affection more than any other gift.
That love will be the best gift you can give them.
Thank you.

3-minute speech from the head of an organization celebrating Children’s Day

Good afternoon, everyone.
My name is ○○○, President of ○○ Children’s Rights Organization, and I am here to speak to you on Children’s Day.
Today, instead of the beautiful story of “Fly, birds, blue sky” that we often hear, I would like to talk about the children who are still suffering on this special day when children are the main characters. I’m talking about the reality of child abuse in our society.
The word ‘human rights’ is a buzzword every year, but the human rights of children in our country are still severely violated. In the three years that I’ve been chairman of a human rights organization, I’ve come across countless heartbreaking cases that I can’t turn a blind eye to.
It is not uncommon for parents to scream at the police when they respond to a call, saying, “What does it matter if I hit my child?” Some parents still treat their children as their property, leaving them with bruises on their delicate bodies and anxiety clouding their eyes that should shine with curiosity. Their minds may have forgotten the cruelty, but their bodies remember it vividly. For many of the children in care, waking up with terrifying dreams has become a daily occurrence.
What about the problem of sexual crimes? Child sex crimes are becoming more brutal every day, fueled by the evil influence of perverted pornography, but the punishment is still a slap on the wrist. Thus, our young birds are shedding tears with scars on their innocent eyes amidst the violence and indifference of adults.
That’s why, since I’ve been president, Children’s Day has never been my favorite holiday.
Right now, some children are laughing and playing on lawns, exchanging gifts, while others are crying in pain.
Today is a day for children.
Please take a moment to make sure that the children who will carry the future of our country grow up healthy and happy.
A bird with a broken wing can’t fly far.
We talk about children’s dreams and possibilities all the time, but we should think about how many young birds have been injured by senseless violence.
Every little bit of care and concern from you can help protect our children. Your concern today could be a shield for them.
That’s the end of my story.
I implore you, today, to pay a little attention to the well-being of children who are not your own.
Thank you for listening.

Parenting Instructor 3-minute speech

So, everyone, how did your day go with your child today?
Are any of you having a day that feels like a war?
When your child gets on your nerves for no reason, has a ridiculous meltdown, or is just plain out of sorts or violent, what do you think?
Have you ever wondered, “Who the heck is that?” or “Where did that personality come from?”?
Well, the answer is right there. You guessed it: mom and dad.
I see a lot of parents come to me because their child is acting out, but if you look closely, the answer often lies within the parents themselves.
Some parents project their own childhood wounds onto their children, some marital conflicts have a huge impact on their children, some parents can’t contain their anger and take it out on their children, and some parents complain that they feel like they’ve done everything they can for their children and yet their children are acting out. But that “doing everything” is often the problem.
Every word you say and every action you take is absorbed by your child, and it shows in their behavior.
So, what can we do about it?
Yes, you need to get healthy first – take a good look at what’s wrong with you and fix what needs fixing. If that’s not possible right away, try identifying specific behaviors that you’re doing that are negatively impacting your child, and work on those one by one.
Of course, being a good parent is never easy, and there are no easy answers, which is why there are so many parenting books written, and why there are college courses called “parenting”.
Just as marriage requires a lot of preparation, parenthood requires a lot of preparation. But we often panic when things go wrong and say, “Huh? What’s wrong with me?” or even just feel frustrated without really trying to find the cause.
Let’s not do that anymore. This is our child’s life at stake.
Instead of waiting until they’re older to address character issues and sending them off to school to learn how to be a good parent, show them how to be a good parent from a young age.
When parents change, children change.
I hope you enjoyed today’s seminar, and I hope you can make some good changes in your family.
Thank you very much.

General Assembly Representative 3-minute speech

Good afternoon, everyone,
We are ○○○ from the organization Medical Africa.
Our organization has been providing medical care to people in Africa for 10 years now.
It is no exaggeration to say that we continue to fight parasites every day.
Meeting a boy who lost 5 kilograms of weight due to acute diarrhea, and seeing people whose lives are in danger because of parasitic infections, has become part of my daily routine.
We often ask ourselves the question.
“Why isn’t parasite research in the developed world saving these people?”
It is this question that I would like to ponder and discuss with you today.
Currently, most of the resources associated with parasitic disease research are focused on drug discovery.
Of course, if a new drug is successful, it is an incredible achievement.
It is an innovative and efficient way to save hundreds of thousands of lives with a single pill.
For this reason, many developed countries invest enormous resources and time in drug discovery.
However, drug development takes a huge amount of time and money.
On average, it takes 10 to 15 years and more than a trillion dollars, with only a 5% chance of success.
Couldn’t some of these resources be used to prevent infection in areas where parasitic diseases are prevalent?
And prevention aside, don’t the people who are dying right now need more urgent medical attention?
Performing complex surgeries or running high-tech diagnostic equipment is a pipe dream when medical personnel are scarce.
The vast majority of parasitic diseases occur in poor countries, yet they are not being addressed.
The result is a vicious cycle of people getting sick because of poverty and losing their lives because of untreated disease.
Isn’t it our responsibility to break this cycle?
Medical assistance is not just about providing doctors and medicines.
It’s about building a systematic healthcare foundation with a long-term view, and giving the local population a foundation of self-reliance to provide their own healthcare needs,
that’s true medical assistance.
And then we’re hopeful that the quality of life for the local population will improve.
I would like to thank you all for listening.
I sincerely hope that our sense of citizenship will extend beyond our borders, and that we will grow as global citizens.
Thank you.

Morning Meeting Principal’s 3-minute speech

hello.
I am Mr. ○○○, the principal of ○○ High School.
This morning, on the way to school, I saw many students going back to their homes to get their things, and I’m sure they’ve probably told themselves many times that they need to get their things, but they didn’t follow through with it. Of course, each of them had their own reasons, but regardless of how important they were, they ended up running around panting in the morning or being late.
There’s an interesting story that came to mind when I saw this, and I’d like to share it with you.
Aurora, the goddess of dawn who opens the gates of the east for Apollo, the sun god, married Titonos, a prince of Troy. Wanting their happiness to last forever, Aurora begged Jupiter, the king of the gods, to grant Titonos eternal life. Eventually, her wish was granted. But Aurora forgot to ask for a second wish: that Titonos never grow old and remain young and vibrant forever.
As the years passed, Tithonos grew older and weaker. He became a burden to Aurora, complaining constantly in a shrill voice. Eventually, Aurora turned him into a cricket, and Tithonos’ shrill complaints could be heard every autumn night.
What do you think? Do you think I’ve gone too far with this story?
The message I want to convey to you here is not the story of Aurora, who is transformed by love.
The events and characters in this story may be different, but the essence is similar to yours.
This story is about the misery that happens when we think about it but don’t act on it.
We don’t know what’s coming our way.
If you procrastinate and procrastinate and procrastinate, and you end up not doing something that you really need to do, the consequences can be costly. Today, it might be a scolding from a teacher or a punishment, but when you grow up and take on important responsibilities, the consequences of procrastinating can be more costly than you can imagine.
I want you all to be the kind of people who do what you think you’re going to do.
Thank you.

3-minute speech from a child actor academy instructor

It’s easy to see child actors on TV who are just pretty and cute.
It’s amazing to watch them memorize long lines with tears streaming down their cute faces.
They must be naturally gifted and talented.
In 2000, Daniel Radcliffe, an 11-year-old boy from London, auditioned for “Harry Potter.
A year later, he became the most famous child in the world.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, the first movie adaptation of J.K. Rowling’s original novels, was every bit as successful as the novels themselves, and the characters in the film captured the world’s attention.
But they quickly outgrew it.
Radcliffe’s appearance in the third installment, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, was a far cry from the second installment.
Only four years had passed, and while Harry was still 12 years old in the movies, Radcliffe, now 15 in real life, was no longer a young face.
In a recent interview, he said.
“The last 10 years have been wonderful, but I don’t want to be told, ‘Show me the magic’ anymore.
I was most pleased when someone told me I was really good in the play Aeschylus.”
His willingness to transform is also evident in his next film, Woman in Black.
In the first scene of this production, we see a close-up of his face without glasses for the first time since his debut.
In Korea, there is an actress, Kim Sung-eun, who is famous for her role in the drama Soompung Obstetrics and Gynecology.
For a while, the media was abuzz with her reappearance.
Instead of calling her by her first name, people called her “Mi-dal-yi,” and it became a label that dominated her entire life.
Even though she cried and confessed that she wanted to get rid of the label that had followed her for 10 years, people still called her “Mi-dal”.
She confessed that the exclusionary stares and excessive attention drove her to depression.
Will she ever be free of this label?
Actors who play a character for a long time often struggle with the disconnect between who they are in real life and their on-screen roles.
Leonard Nimoy, the actor who played Spock in the popular series Star Trek, titled his autobiography I Am Not Spock.
You can guess why he chose this title.
And actor Kiyoshi Atsumi, who starred in 48 episodes of Yoji Yamada’s Men Are Suffering series, dealt with similar identity confusion in a unique way.
A timid personality, the exact opposite of his character Torajiro, he went into seclusion to get away from people’s expectations.
He avoided meals with the actors after performances, phone calls, and even got out of a taxi at the entrance to his neighborhood and walked for fear of revealing where he lived.
It’s a big mistake to expect only public cheers and applause.
Child actors are more likely to suffer from identity confusion and adverse effects as they grow up.
We need to understand and prepare for their desperation to appear in adult films and even risk exposure in order to shed the child actor label.
Thank you for listening.

Travel affinity group instructor 3-minute speech

Alain de Ordinary’s The Art of Traveling is exactly what the title suggests: essays about the art of traveling. He connects destinations with the stories of artists to convey the unconventional appeal of travel. The book also features a unique travel essay about a man’s trip through his room.
He wrote the book while exploring his room, and if exploring your room is traveling, then traveling can indeed take many forms.
Somewhere along the way, my traveling became passive.
Whereas I once enjoyed meticulously planning my trips, I now rely on my companions. Traveling used to be about escapism or getting something out of it.
But after reading The Art of Travel, my attitude towards traveling changed. Nowadays, I enjoy taking short trips to places close to home with a book in hand and public transportation without much of a plan.
Last weekend, I traveled with a friend to Sokcho, where she grew up.
I was completely dependent on my friend, as she was well versed in the geography and restaurants there. While it was easy to just follow her around, it also made me feel helpless.
In particular, my friend emphasized that the trip would be centered around food, saying, “You have to eat what’s good.” Eating well and resting well was the goal of our trip, and it was a thoughtful choice given my current state of mind.
So we ate a lot of food, mostly local favorites.
As a result of trying to comply with my friend’s wishes, I gained two kilograms when I returned from the trip. So our diet plan failed, but we were happy with our trip.
Of course, our trip wasn’t all about eating.
While it was great to eat delicious food in Sokcho, the real highlight of the trip was the stories my friend told me.
She told me stories about her memories and the people in her life, which allowed me to travel through her memories. Along the way, she would say hello to her parents and their friends and share updates, and I would spontaneously greet them and feel like a close neighbor.
I could hear the elderly people’s excitement at my friend’s hospitality, and I felt a sense of homecoming.
At other times, my friend would get lost, bewildered by the rapidly changing roads and scenery.
The trip didn’t feel like a faraway vacation, but rather a brief visit to a close friend’s home, which is why there was no travel hangover, and why he laughed and said it was “a very desirable time.”
Alain de Botton once said, “Traveling is for returning,” and I returned home with a few extra pounds.
The memories of the trip are fading over the next few days, but if I explore my mind like a traveler exploring a room, I think they will become clearer.
Isn’t that the point of traveling, to leave and then plan another trip to forget?
Thank you for listening.

Travel Affinity Group Instructor 3 Minute Speech

Whenever you see a vacation feature article, your heart flutters and your eyes linger.
Newspapers and magazines are filled with stories about celebrities’ vacation memories and plans.
The topics range from “most memorable getaway,” “unforgettable person they met on vacation,” “who they’d like to take on vacation,” and more.
There’s even a popular resort tagline that comes to mind every vacation season.
“Freedom to do anything, freedom to do nothing.”
I’ve been guilty of backpacking in the past, eager to see more in less time and for less money.
I was diligent in my pursuit of every last bit of money I could get, because it was hard-earned and time-consuming.
I traveled through countries like a snowstorm, capturing every detail on camera and taking notes.
Traveling by train through more than a dozen European countries in a month and quickly skimming the east and west coast cities of the United States was like running an Ironman decathlon.
Hunger, cold, and loneliness were in my bones, so much so that I switched tactics to a package trip to Southeast Asia.
At one point, I spent just $200,000 on a tour of Angkor Wat, which earned me the title of “travel master” from my friends.
“I could eat tropical fruit and still have money left over,” he says of his off-season low-cost package tours.
But the results of those trips are usually similar.
I don’t remember which country I went to, what I saw, or what I got out of it, but I do remember listening to boring jiangguang stories in Chinese medicine shops.
I’m probably not alone in this trial and error.
Because we’ve all been through shitty backpacking trips and cheap package deals that eventually made me think about the true meaning of travel and relaxation.
So I don’t blame the old guys who drunkenly sway and dance in the back of the tourist bus.
It makes me think, “What would they do if they had so much pent-up energy and no way to release it?”
I asked a senior who recently traveled to Europe what his favorite experience was.
He said his favorite memory was sitting under a cafe umbrella, watching people go by all day and “doing nothing”.
This reminded me of a trip I took where I experienced true relaxation.
Three days and four nights in a quiet hotel overlooking a lake, tapping away on my netbook, watching old movies, and walking along the lakeshore in the drizzle.
It was off-season, so the four-star hotel cost only $20,000 per night, and we had the pool and sauna to ourselves because there were no other guests.
And a country bus ride through lush green fields, clear streams, and small villages was only 1,100 won.
I spent three days waiting for the bus on Saejak-ro and basked in simple bliss.
This summer, I’m planning to stay in Seoul and take it easy.
I’ll leave at that point when people have gone back to their daily routines, the sound of trunk wheels echoing in every alley.
I’m going to pitch a tent in the valley where my children left me, and I’m going to spend three or four days reading a book and just being quiet.
Thank you for listening.

3-minute speech by a special lecturer at a women’s university

Hello, everyone. It’s a pleasure to be here.
Today, the importance of “body” has never been more acute.
We live in an era where we hear the phrases “diet wars” and “diet revolution,” and where our bodies are used to express our personalities, gain social value, and even economic returns.
As a result, many people are obsessed with their bodies.
For example, if you’re salivating to eat a cheese stick, you bite your tongue and hold it back.
“How many laps around the gym will I have to do if I eat that?” you think, and you decide not to.
In the past, it was considered the moral thing to do to preserve the body you inherited from your parents.
Nowadays, however, it’s commonplace and actively encouraged to overcome our natural limitations with the help of medical science.
In Korean society, “taking care of your body” has become a huge industry.
Through plastic surgery, massage, dieting, bodybuilding, and various exercises, we try to change our bodies to meet social demands.
And we’re often tempted to enter our credit card numbers on the spur of the moment because we’re told that “taking care of your body will make you happier.”
But this obsession with our bodies can be self-defeating.
This is probably due to the pervasive belief that “the body reflects cultural tastes and social status”.
The humble desire to stay healthy with proper exercise gradually fades away, and we try to change our bodies militantly, imagining the added value that an attractive body will bring.
In the process, we abuse our bodies in real life, or engage in behavior that borders on cruel experimentation.
Of course, there are those who argue that “it’s human nature to want to be beautiful, and what’s wrong with gaining confidence by fixing what’s wrong?”
And there’s a point to that.
But the declaration that “my body is mine” sometimes feels like it’s trying to pass off violence against the body as an “active choice”.
Is it really my fault that women are obsessed with their bodies, that they clench their teeth and fast, that they run on treadmills while hungry?
Isn’t it partly because it’s hard to look past the atmosphere and perceptions that society has created?
Especially for women, isn’t it a murderous demand to test the limits of survival by expecting them to be lean and fat-free?
Don’t push your body, give it a break.
Thank you for listening.

Mother’s Day Student 3-Minute Speech

Spring is already here.
The weather is getting warmer, and the pale yellow forsythia flowers are making us feel the warmth of spring.
A mother’s love is also like spring.
Like the warmth of spring, it seems to spread slowly and very fragrantly, like the faint scent of forsythia.
Just saying my mother’s name brings a gentle sadness to my heart.
My mother, who hurts more when I hurt, grieves more when I grieve, and rejoices more when I smile and rejoice at the smallest things!
My father, who was inarticulate, always blunt, and often reprimanded me for my faults in a stern manner!
I used to feel bitter toward him, but as time went on, I realized the love in him. How can I fathom the depths of his heart, but from now on, I will do my filial duty as a child should.
I think we are too young to fully understand the deep love of our mothers, who are always around us, close by, watching over us and protecting us.
My parents don’t often share their struggles for fear of worrying us, but the way they smile even when they’re tired and exhausted, and the way they try their best every day is something I hope to remember forever, even as an adult. I think their lives are a true example of sacrifice and dedication.
More importantly, I don’t just want to remind myself to be grateful to my parents on this day, but I want to continue to practice filial piety towards them in the future. I want to do small things to show my gratitude and live up to their expectations.
I want to be the kind of parent that my children will be proud of when they have children of their own, and I believe that knowing the grace I received from my parents and doing the same for them will help me to do the same for my own children.
A mother’s love is endless, and just like a flower that fades and blooms again as the seasons change, my parents’ love always seems to envelope me.
I am always grateful to my mother for her unwavering love.
I hope you are always healthy and happy, and today I would like to give you a carnation from my heart.

3-minute speech by the student body president at the Mother’s Day ceremony

Good morning, students.
With Mother’s Day just around the corner, I’m here to talk to you about the topic of parents.
Mother’s Day isn’t just a day to give your parents carnations, it’s a day to reflect on the love and dedication we often take for granted and express our heartfelt gratitude. When we think about the grace of our parents, it’s like a river that runs as wide and deep as it can go. No matter how much we try to put into words, it’s never enough, and yet, knowing that, it’s our duty as children to try to repay that love in some small way.
Our parents are the ones who have watched over us every step of the way. When I think back to my childhood, I remember the warmth of my mother’s hand as she held my hand and put an umbrella over my head on a rainy day, and my father’s broad back as he carried me up a mountain path. I can still feel the warmth of their love.
As a child, I think I took that love for granted, but as time goes on, especially as I grow up, I slowly realize how much sacrifice and hard work my parents’ love was built on.
I’d like to share one of my favorite memories of my parents. When I was studying for my college entrance exams, my parents’ nagging became more frequent and irritating. That night, when I couldn’t concentrate and went out to the living room, I couldn’t help but be surprised. My parents, who were supposed to be in the master bedroom, were snoozing on the living room couch, and I was devastated when I realized that they had been up all night worrying about me.
Since that day, I’ve come to realize that every word my parents say is meant for me. Their love is sometimes hidden in their firm words, and sometimes in the quiet back of their minds. It’s not easy to fathom, but if we try, we can surely understand a little bit of its depth.
I often think about this. If I were to become a parent in the future, I wonder if I would be able to give my child the same endless love and devotion that my parents do now. And every time I think about it, I am reminded of the love that my parents have shown me.
Students, we all have busy lives and sometimes we forget how important our parents are. But on Mother’s Day, I hope you’ll take a moment to remember your parents’ faces and show them how much you appreciate them. Even a small gesture of gratitude will make your parents feel very happy.
Dear Parents, Thank you for always supporting me along my path. I will do my best to repay you for the love you have shown me, and I would like to take this opportunity to say to you from the bottom of my heart
“Parents, I love you so much.”

3-minute speech to mothers’ class

Hello, mothers. I am Dr. ○○○, a Chinese medicine doctor.
Nowadays, the average height of children is getting taller and taller, and there is a growing interest in children’s growth. Today, I would like to introduce diet and foods that can help children grow taller.
The most important thing for growing children is a healthy diet that promotes the secretion of growth hormone. In particular, vitamins and minerals play a key role in bone growth and cell division, so it is important to get a balanced intake of more than 40 nutrients, including carbohydrates, proteins, eight essential amino acids, fats and essential fatty acids, various vitamins, and minerals.
1. Milk and meat
Milk is a complete nutritional food that is essential for growing children because it contains a wide range of minerals, high-quality protein, and has an optimal ratio of calcium to phosphorus for the body, especially if you choose low-fat or fat-free milk.
Leaner cuts of meat such as beef, pork, and chicken are recommended, as the abundant protein contained in meat stimulates the release of growth hormone, which is very beneficial for height growth.
2. Fish and bone-in fish
Fish such as pollock, mackerel, and saury are rich in calcium along with good quality protein, which is great for bone health. Bone-in fish, especially anchovies and whitebait, help build bone and tooth tissue as well as regulate bodily functions.
3. fruits and vegetables
Vitamin C-rich fruits and vegetables are essential not only for children’s height growth, but also for boosting immunity and promoting iron absorption. A lack of iron can lead to anemia and loss of appetite, which can have a negative impact on growth, so if you’re not getting enough fruits and vegetables, consider adding an iron supplement.
4. Cut down on instant foods
On the other hand, instant foods and soft drinks can stunt your child’s growth. While these processed foods are high in calories, they are often low in vitamins and minerals, and food additives can cause nutritional imbalances.
Fast food favorites like burgers, chicken, and ramen should be minimized because they are high in trans fats and salt, which interfere with calcium metabolism.
Closing thoughts
A healthy diet, consistently consuming growth-enhancing foods, and avoiding instant foods can have a positive impact on our children’s height growth. I believe that if mothers pay a little more attention to their children’s diets, they will grow up healthy and thrive.
I hope that what I’ve shared with you today will help you make a small contribution to your child’s healthy growth. Thank you.

Season’s Greetings from a Mother’s Classroom Instructor

Hello, everyone. Thank you for joining us for this special Mother’s Classroom session.
In today’s Mothers’ Class, we’re going to be talking about health issues in children, with a particular focus on insomnia.
We’re seeing more and more kids these days struggling with insomnia.
It’s not just a matter of not sleeping well, but it can have a profound impact on a child’s physical and mental growth, which is why it’s so important for parents to pay attention to it. Insomnia can be caused by a variety of factors, but did you know that it often stems from poor lifestyle habits?
Especially in this day and age, the increased use of digital devices like smartphones and tablets has disrupted sleep patterns. Late night screen time stimulates the brain and prevents a good night’s sleep. This is why it’s essential for parents to guide their children on healthy screen habits.
Insomnia isn’t just a lack of sleep; if prolonged, it can lead to chronic fatigue. This can lead to poor learning, emotional anxiety, and even depression. It’s important to remember that insomnia is more than just a health issue; it can affect your child’s daily life and even their future.
Fortunately, there are psychological approaches you can take to alleviate symptoms before they become severe enough to warrant a visit to the doctor. One of these is the theory of classical conditioning, a classic theory of learning psychology put forward by the Russian psychologist Pavlov, which explains how new patterns of behavior are learned through associations between stimuli and responses.
One day, Pavlov noticed that his dog would salivate at the sight of a bowl of food or the sound of someone bringing it to him. Intrigued, he began experimenting with playing a bell before giving him food, and as a result, the dog would salivate at the sound of the bell even if there was no food present.
This phenomenon, in which a stimulus that didn’t originally elicit a response repeatedly becomes associated with a specific context and elicits a new response, is known as “classical conditioning.” This principle can be applied to treat insomnia. By associating sleep with bed, we can help you naturally fall asleep the moment you get into bed.
So how can you apply this in your daily life?
First, don’t distract yourself in bed. Your bed should only be used for sleeping.
Second, don’t force yourself to stay in bed when you don’t feel sleepy, as this can lead to worse sleep patterns when combined with other behaviors.
Third, help your child feel secure by creating a regular sleep routine. Going to bed at a certain time and waking up in the morning will gradually stabilize their circadian rhythm.
You can also help your child relax their body and mind with simple meditation or stretching exercises. A warm glass of milk before bed, or a good book in a dimly lit room, can also help your child feel more relaxed.
The most important thing you can do to improve your child’s insomnia is to provide consistent attention and affection. The most basic and important thing in treating insomnia is to give your child a sense of security and reassurance that they are always protected.
I hope we can work together to help your children develop healthy sleep habits and grow up bright and healthy. So I’ll leave you with another topic for another time, and thank you.

Children’s Day Celebration Speaker 3-minute speech

Good morning, everyone.
It’s a beautiful sunny day today. The weather seems to be unusually nice for Children’s Day.
The sun is warm, the breeze is light, and it’s a perfect day to take the kids out to the countryside.
It’s on this special day, Children’s Day, that I’m here to say a few words.
But what I want to talk about today isn’t about children, it’s about us adults.
How many of you remember what you wanted to be when you were a kid?
Maybe you wanted to be a teacher, a scientist, a police officer, a doctor, or something else.
If you were able to fulfill those dreams, that’s great.
But most of us didn’t.
Kids dream purely out of the goodness of their hearts, with no second thoughts.
When they see something they want to do, they don’t hesitate to take action.
That’s probably because of their innocence.
But what about us adults?
Do we ever think and act purely about anything?
Most of the time, we first weigh the benefits and harms, calculate whether it’s favorable or unfavorable.
It would seem that if our decisions are so carefully thought out, we should be able to do them perfectly and without mistakes, but that’s not the case.
We often make mistakes, and sometimes we even hurt people close to us in the pursuit of profit.
At this point, we ask ourselves.
Would it really be more inefficient to act as innocently as a child?
I deliberately used the word “efficiency” because it sounds familiar to you.
But the truth is, the concept of efficiency is just as nebulous.
That’s because we don’t know if a decision we make after a lot of thought will have a good outcome in the end.
For example, Nobel may have invented dynamite to make people’s lives easier, but it ended up being used more as a tool of mass destruction.
You can never predict what people will do.
So, in a life where we don’t know what lies ahead, why not live with more purity of heart and action than we do now?
The sky is so clear today.
When I look at the clear sky, I feel like my heart becomes transparent.
Are the hearts of children always as clear and pure as this sky?
If we adults could emulate that purity, wouldn’t the world be a much more peaceful place?
That’s all I have to say for today.
In honor of Children’s Day, I hope you’ll take a moment today to emulate your children and learn from their innocence and warmth.
Thank you.

Children’s Day Celebration Speech 3-minute speech by the organizer

Good afternoon, everyone.
I am the president of ○○, a children’s rights organization. I would like to take this opportunity to share with you a story about the precious children who are responsible for the future of our society.
Children’s Day is a day for adults to show their love and concern for children. When I was a child, I also considered Children’s Day to be a special day, and I have fond memories of celebrating with my family. But today, I’m not going to simply recount those beautiful memories, or get abstract in a “fly away birds, blue skies” kind of way.
Instead, I’m going to talk about some children for whom this day is still painful. Yes, I’m talking about child abuse, a problem that hasn’t gone away in our society.
In recent years, the issue of children’s rights has become a hot topic in society, but unfortunately, the rights of children in our country are still not well protected. The number of reported cases of child abuse is increasing every year, but experts say that the number of cases that go unreported far exceeds that. As president, I’ve been confronted with this reality through countless stories and encounters.
When I respond to a call, it’s not uncommon to hear abusive parents screaming at the police, “What does it matter if I hit my child?” Some parents treat their children like property, resorting to brutal violence in the name of reprimanding misbehavior. The scars left by such violence are not just bruises on the body; they are imprinted deep in the mind, and their curious, innocent eyes are often clouded with anxiety and fear.
Folks, what about sex crimes in this situation?
Child sex crimes are becoming more and more brutal, yet the punishment is still a slap on the wrist. With the law and the system failing to act as a fence for children, many are left to bear the pain alone, and the innocent dreams they are meant to have are increasingly overshadowed by abuse and hurt.
That’s why this day never fails to make me sad every year.
On this day, while many children are smiling and laughing at a joyous performance, others are crying in pain. Whenever I see these children, I can’t help but ask about our role as adults: what are we really doing for them?
Today is a day for children.
The true meaning of Children’s Day is not just about exchanging gifts and celebrating. It’s about creating an environment where our children can grow up healthy and happy.
A bird needs strong wings to fly far, but how can a young bird with injured wings from violence and abuse fly high? It’s time to reflect on how many children have lost their possibilities and dreams while we look the other way.
I’m asking you.
Give children a little attention and help in any way you can.
If you see signs of abuse, report it immediately. Get down to eye level with children and listen to their stories. Every small act of care and concern can make a difference in our society. Every step you take will add up and help more children grow up in a safe and happy environment.
So that’s my story.
For today, I ask you to pay attention and love not only to your own child, but to other children around you. Together, these small actions can change their future.
Thank you for listening.

General Assembly Delegate 3-minute speech

Hello, everyone.
My name is ○○○ from Medical Africa Volunteers.
Our organization has been providing medical services to the people of Africa for almost 10 years.
It is no exaggeration to say that every day here is a battle against parasites.
A few years ago, I met a boy in a village who was suffering from acute diarrhea due to a parasitic infection.
The sight of him losing 5 kilograms of weight overnight left an unforgettable impact on me.
We were able to save the boy’s life, but there were countless others in that village in a similar situation.
There were so many people who had lost their sight and whose lives were threatened by the parasite.
Their suffering is now so painfully familiar to me that it feels like my daily life.
In this environment, we ask ourselves endlessly.
“Why can’t parasite research in the developed world save these people?”
“With all the advances in technology and capital, why aren’t these problems solved?”
These are the questions we want to share with you here.
Because we believe we need to find the answers with more people.
Currently, the majority of research and funding for parasitic diseases is invested in drug development.
Of course, when a drug is successful, the results can be truly remarkable.
If a single pill could save hundreds of thousands of lives, that would be amazing.
But it’s not the end of the story.
Drug discovery takes a long time, usually 10 to 15 years, and requires a tremendous amount of resources, up to 1 trillion won.
And yet, it only has a 5% chance of success.
We all know how important this process is, but shouldn’t we also consider other possibilities?
Can we take just a fraction of this money and use it to prevent infection and provide immediate medical aid?
Drug discovery is important, but what people need right now, in this moment of life and death, is hands-on support.
But the reality is harsh.
Our scarce human resources can barely see patients, let alone perform complex surgeries or operate diagnostic equipment.
Parasitic diseases are particularly prevalent in poor countries.
Yet they are not adequately addressed, creating a vicious cycle where people get sick because of poverty, and die because they can’t get medication.
It’s our goal to break this cycle, and we believe it’s a challenge that the world needs to solve together.
Medical assistance is not just about providing doctors or medicines.
It’s about taking the long view, building an organized healthcare foundation, and helping people become self-sufficient in their healthcare needs.
Once that foundation is in place, their quality of life will be dramatically improved, not just by being free of disease.
We should also be able to ask ourselves questions along the way.
Are our efforts really centered around their needs, and are we just looking at it through our own eyes?
Thank you so much for listening.
I hope this is an opportunity for our citizenship to extend beyond our borders, nationally, and globally.
You in this room are the beginning of that change.
Thank you.

Morning Announcements Principal’s 3-minute speech

hello.
I’m Mr. ○○○, the principal of ○○ High School.
On the way to school today, I saw a lot of students running back home to get their things, and I’m sure they thought about it at least five times, but they didn’t act on it, and I’m sure they had their own reasons, and I don’t know how important they were, but they ended up running out the door this morning, panting, and maybe even late.
This reminded me of a story, and it’s a fun mythology story, so bear with me.
Aurora, the goddess of dawn who opens the gates of the east for Apollo, the sun god, is married to Titonos, the prince of Troy. To ensure that their happiness will last forever, Aurora pleads with Jupiter, the lord of the gods, to grant Titonos eternal life. Eventually, her wish is granted. But in her anxiety to keep Titonos from being taken away by death, she forgets to ask for a second wish. She had only wished for Tithonos’ immortality, not that he would never grow old and remain forever young and vibrant.
As the years passed, Tithonos grew older and weaker, and became nothing but a burden to her. Finally, when she grew tired of his shrill voice and constant complaints, she turned him into a cricket, so that his shrill tone and complaints became known to all on autumn nights.
What do you think? Do you think I’m being too outrageous with this story?
I don’t mean to ask questions like, “Should you throw stones at a cold-hearted woman who has been transformed by love?” That’s not what I’m trying to say here.
The events and characters in the story are different, but the essence is the same as yours.
The story was about the unhappiness that comes from thinking about something and not acting on it.
You never know what life will throw at you.
You never know what you’re going to have to do, and you’re going to procrastinate and procrastinate and procrastinate, and you’re going to pay a huge price for not doing it.
Yesterday morning, my teacher said something like this. “Small mistakes add up, and when they are repeated, they eventually cause big problems.” I thought about that a lot as I listened to it. Sometimes putting off one small preparation, one small task, can make a big difference. It could be the result of a test, it could be your academic achievement. It could even have a huge impact on achieving your dreams and goals.
Now, the cost might be a scolding from a teacher, but when you’re an adult and doing your own thing, the consequences of procrastinating and not doing what you said you were going to do can come at a huge cost.
I recently read a book that said, “Success doesn’t come from big actions, it comes from the consistent repetition of small actions.” The habit of doing exactly what you think about is the beginning of that consistency, and that consistency will change your life.
I want you to be the kind of person who does exactly what you think. Start today by packing a little extra, checking off your to-do list, and doing the things you plan to do one by one. These small actions will add up and eventually lead to your big success.
Thank you.

Parenting Seminar Instructor 3-minute speech

Hello, everyone.
I’m ○○○, a parenting seminar instructor.
From my understanding, the parents here have children between the ages of one and four years old. Some of you have not yet weaned your children, and some of you have just started eating rice and meat.
They’re growing up every day, and as a parent, you get to experience some truly amazing moments. Their first smile, their first steps, and their first words. These moments are more than just touching, they’re clear signs that our children are growing up.
As we watch our children’s minds grow in size day by day, we find ourselves wondering: How is it possible that their minds are growing? How do we know their thinking is growing? The answer is through language. Language is a handy tool for capturing human thoughts and an indicator of expanding thinking. When a child begins to express themselves with an expanding vocabulary, it shows that the range of ideas in their mind is growing.
Today we’re going to talk about ways to improve our children’s language skills.
I’m sure every parent in this room wants their child to have a richer use of language. A child’s language is more than just a means of expression, it’s an important tool for learning, social interaction, and emotional exchange, so we’d like to talk about how important your role is in helping your child build their vocabulary and expressive skills.
First of all, it’s important for children to realize that words are made up of sounds. Making connections between sounds and words is the first step in language learning, and one effective way to help with this is through word games.
For example, my son and I enjoy playing a simple rhyming game. One person says a word, and the next person comes up with a word that rhymes with it. Sometimes it doesn’t make any sense, but it doesn’t matter if it’s a real word or not, because the process itself is a natural language learning opportunity for the child.
I often watch how much fun my son has when we do this, and in the moment, he doesn’t realize that he’s learning about language. He just sees it as fun and exciting. But playing with the sounds of words in the course of this play helps build a foundation in phonetics that will make it much easier for a child to relate sounds to letters later on.
When our children call us “mommy” or “daddy” for the first time, we feel an indescribable sense of happiness. As they grow, we look forward to using more words and sentences, and the joy of being on that journey with them grows.
But it’s not just the vocabulary that matters on this journey; it’s the interaction with your child. The affection and connection your child feels with you has a huge impact on not only their language skills, but also their emotional stability and sense of trust.
To get started with language play, you don’t need any special materials or complicated rules – just make up games with ideas that you think will work. For example, try playing “What is something?” A simple sentence like “This is a round, red, delicious fruit. What is it?” can help your child practice connecting words to objects around them.
Continue to engage in language play with your child, even for short periods of time, every day.
Through play, your child not only develops language skills, but also feels your love and attention. As you listen to your child’s responses, you’ll realize your own growth as a parent.
Start today.
You’ll soon realize how much of an impact simple play and conversation can have on your child’s future.
Thank you.
