Parenting Seminar Instructor 5-Minute Speech

Hello, everyone.
I’m ○○○, a parenting seminar instructor.
I’d like to start by thanking the parents for joining us today. According to my understanding, the parents here have children ranging in age from one to four years old. Some of them are not yet weaned, and some of them are just starting to eat rice and meat. Children at this age grow at an incredible rate every day. From the first time they make eye contact and smile, to their first hand gestures, to the first words they utter, every moment as a parent is inspiring.
You’ll feel both joy and responsibility for your child’s growth, especially as you watch their minds grow in size day by day. So what do we know that their thinking is growing?
The answer is language. Language is the most convenient and powerful tool we have to capture our thoughts. When a child is able to learn and use new words, it’s more than just an increase in their vocabulary; it’s an expansion of the range of thoughts in their head.
Today, we’re going to talk about how to improve our children’s language skills. Language isn’t just a means of communication, it’s an important tool for expressing your child’s thoughts, feelings, and creativity. As a parent, it’s important to help your child learn language in a way that makes it fun and natural.
First of all, it’s essential to introduce children to the concept that words are made up of sounds. Word games are a great way to teach this. For example, my son and I often play rhyming games. One of us says a word, and the other says a word that rhymes with it. Sometimes a word that doesn’t make sense comes up, but it doesn’t matter if it’s actually a real word or not – what matters is that the child learns about the sounds and rhymes of words in a natural way.
Through this play, your child learns the relationship between sounds and letters without even realizing it, which is a great way to build a foundation in phonetics. Furthermore, playing with your child becomes a positive experience in itself: you bond with your child through fun play, while your child develops a sense of the sounds and structure of speech.
It’s also important for parents to use the time they spend with their child to provide a variety of linguistic stimuli. Remember the joy you felt when your child first said “mommy” and “daddy”? To make that joy more frequent, we need to create an environment that helps them learn and use more words.
Reading to your child or telling stories is a great way to do this, especially picture books, which provide visual stimulation in addition to verbal stimulation, which has a double effect on a child’s language development.
And language games don’t need to be fancy – parents can make up simple games that they think would work, such as mimicking certain animal sounds and asking “What kind of animal is this?” or stretching out words and pronouncing them to keep your child interested. The important thing is to have fun and connect with your child.
You’re not just an observer watching your child grow; you’re their first teacher, a guide to help them explore the world. Talk to your child, ask questions, spark their imagination, and nurture their verbal creativity.
Start today. Talking and communicating with your child, sharing your love and building their language skills at the same time, is the greatest gift you can give them in their development.
Thank you.

5 minute speech by a lecturer at a women’s college entrance ceremony

A few days ago, I saw an article about “The Woman with Glasses” on a daily newspaper site.
It was written by Mr. Kim Yong-gun, a talent.
He said that he often hears people say, “Men with glasses are cool, but women with glasses are not,” and he said that he thought that for a long time, but now it’s not the case. Nowadays, smart women with glasses look good.
She added that it was frustrating to hear men say “I don’t like smart women” in front of women.
Reading these words made me reflect on myself. How many stereotypes do we take for granted? If you think about it, the bias against glasses has gone beyond just fashion and has become a way of judging people. Negative comments about women who wear glasses are not just about their appearance, but about their abilities and worth.
Often in dramas, the smart, ugly woman in the lead role wears glasses.
When the female protagonist is a beautiful woman, she never wears glasses.
This subtly suggests that socially competent and intelligent women have ugly faces, and the glasses are a prop to convey that.
In doing so, it brainwashes the viewer with the image of the glasses.
In fact, it was my daughter who corrected my view of glasses.
When she was in fifth grade, she had to wear glasses because of poor vision, and she was very upset about it.
But what if it was my son who had to wear glasses instead of my daughter?
Maybe it wouldn’t have been as upsetting.
I was discriminating against men and women.
I was buying into the social norm that it’s okay for men to wear glasses, and that it’s a sign of weakness for women.
Even though I thought it was wrong that men were valued for their economic ability and women were valued for their looks.
What this experience made me realize was how unconsciously we internalize these socially instilled perceptions. It made me realize that my daughter’s little problem wasn’t just an individual issue, but how many unspoken standards our society places on women. With the societal gaze on “femininity,” we were asking women to prove their worth.
Glasses also give off a scholarly vibe, and while our society favors scholarly men, we tend to shy away from women who look scholarly and wear glasses.
The sight of brides and grooms at weddings is a testament to this.
It’s not uncommon to see a groom wearing glasses, but it’s rare to see a bride wearing glasses.
If a bride in a wedding dress wore glasses, it would probably be a topic of conversation.
What bothered me about my daughter’s glasses was that it was a “girl” wearing glasses.
I was worried that someday, when my daughter was of marriageable age, she would be a weak bride because of her glasses.
Ultimately, this negative view of glasses shows how narrowly women are judged. Isn’t it anachronistic that something as simple as a pair of glasses would be a major point of reference for discussing a woman’s worth and image?
Doesn’t this mean that women exist as acquired, domesticated creatures?
“A woman is not born a woman, she is domesticated,” Beauvoir wrote in The Second Sex.
She adamantly rejected the “shackles of femininity” imposed by men, arguing that “the differences between the sexes are the result of social and cultural influences, not biological differences.
Applying her argument that “just as the black problem in America is technically a white problem, women’s problems are actually men’s problems” to the ‘glasses problem’, it can be said that the negative view of women wearing glasses is ultimately created by men’s wrong perception.
We can see that the idea that women who wear glasses are not better brides than women who don’t wear glasses is socially and acquired.
Now, the world has changed a lot.
Women in their 20s used to be told, “You just need to get married,” and now we’ve added to that, “You need to get a good job.
We’re seeing more and more women becoming financially independent and taking control of their own lives – they want to explore their possibilities without being tied down by marriage or appearance. These changes show that women are entering an era where “smart” is no longer a handicap, but a source of pride.
Gone are the days when a woman’s only competitive advantage is her pretty face.
When men look at women as mates, they are also interested in a woman’s career and hope to meet a competent woman and live as a dual-income couple.
The idealized view of women has changed.
So the way we look at women should also change from ‘I don’t like smart women’ to ‘I like smart women’.
Then, naturally, the perception of women wearing glasses will also change.
Hopefully, the future will be different than the present.
I look forward to a world where women with glasses can look just as academic as men with glasses, where it’s not a weakness at all, and where it’s not uncommon to see brides wearing glasses at weddings.
Ladies and gentlemen, you are here today to change the future of society. I ask you to look at the world with a new perspective, a more open mind, and be an agent of change.
I hope I’m not asking for too much.
I hope you will change the world.
I want you to change the world with the brilliant minds of our students.
Thank you for listening.

5 minute speech by a Chinese medicine doctor in a mother’s classroom

Hello, mothers. I’m Dr. ○○○, a Chinese medicine doctor.
Today, I’m going to answer questions that mothers have been asking, and I’m going to talk about one of the biggest concerns and worries of mothers these days: children’s height.
In an age where not only academics but also looks are becoming more competitive, mothers are increasingly concerned about their children’s height.
These days, it’s not uncommon to see a man standing 180 centimeters tall and a woman standing 170 centimeters tall.
It is unlikely that the average height in Korea has increased so much in that time….
But we can’t just leave our kids behind when there are taller kids everywhere.
So how can we make sure our child grows as tall as everyone else?
Understand the basics of height growth
First, make sure you’re familiar with the timing of height growth.
While children’s heights vary slightly, they generally follow a similar growth pattern.
The average child is about 53 centimeters tall at birth, growing about 25 centimeters in the first year of life, then another 12.5 centimeters by the second year.
After that, they grow an average of 5.5 centimeters per year until puberty, at which point they begin to grow rapidly, gaining about 7 centimeters per year.
The neonatal period, up to 36 months of age, is a crucial time that will determine lifelong height.
If you don’t grow to average height during this critical period, you’re likely to stay short for the rest of your life.
If a baby is short because they were born prematurely or have a number of medical conditions, early treatment should help them reach a medium height.
The golden years of growth
If you missed this period, the only way to help your child grow is to continue to support them from then on.
It’s also important to keep in mind that your child won’t grow any taller after puberty, so you’ll need to help them reach their maximum height during puberty.
Here are some important points to keep in mind during this time
First, realize that genetics only accounts for about 23% of a child’s height.
The remaining 70%+ of growth depends on environmental factors such as nutrition, exercise, and sleep.
Therefore, it’s crucial to establish basic lifestyle habits to help your child grow.
Something that’s often talked about and taken for granted, but hard to do.
These are eating well, sleeping well, and exercising.
Second, nutrition is key.
It is essential to provide children with a balance of essential nutrients such as protein, calcium, vitamin D, and zinc.
Calcium in particular supports bone growth, vitamin D helps with calcium absorption, and protein is effective in stimulating growth hormone secretion.
However, it’s best to avoid fast food and sugary foods, which can actually stunt growth.
Third, exercise and posture.
Exercise can stimulate your growth plates and help you grow taller.
Exercises that involve a lot of jumping, like jumping rope, basketball, and volleyball, can provide positive stimulation to your growth plates, and stretching is great for improving your posture and keeping your spine healthy.
Ideally, exercise should be done consistently for 30 minutes to an hour a day.
Growing up and sleeping
Getting enough sleep is also essential for your child’s growth.
Growth hormone is released most when you’re in deep sleep.
The prime time for growth hormone release is between 10pm and 2am, so it’s important to make sure your child gets a good night’s sleep during this time.
If kids are staying up late to look at their phones or do homework, this should be broken.
Additionally, children with poor posture can experience slower height growth.
Habitual head-forward posture, leaning to one side, etc. can lead to an imbalance in the spine, which can hinder height growth.
So make sure you’re consistent in teaching them proper posture.
Utilize professional help
In addition to these tips on how to sleep for height, posture for height, and more, you can also help your child grow beyond the growth spurt.
Nowadays, you can also get a private examination to analyze your child’s constitution and growth and find more specific ways to help.
For example, if your child’s growth plates haven’t closed, you may want to consider growth hormone therapy or exercise to help them grow.
If you think your child is too small for his or her age, you may want to consult a Chinese medicine practitioner or visit a doctor.
Chinese medicine will analyze the cause of stunted growth based on your child’s constitution and suggest herbal or acupuncture treatments to support growth.
A child’s growth depends on the consistent attention and practice of mothers.
I hope this is helpful, and I’ll take your questions after the break if you have any other questions.
Thank you.

Lecturer at Women’s University 5 minute speech

Good afternoon, everyone.
My name is ○○○.
Thank you for your interest in my talk.
The topic I’m going to talk about today is ‘body’.
People often refer to people who are pretty and slim as having a ‘good body’.
Because of the positive connotations of the word ‘good’, we take it for granted, even subconsciously. But is there such a thing as a good body? We live in a world of superficiality, to the point where it’s often interpreted to mean that people are straight and fine.
We even glorify skinny bodies and call them ‘wannabes’.
We live and die by size, hanging our heads over whether we’re a 55 or a 66, and feeling like we should hang ourselves if we’re a 77.
So, why are we so obsessed with “small numbers”?
It’s not just an individual thing – it’s society-wide prejudice and the distorted standards of beauty that the media feeds us.
You can’t walk into a clothing store and see a size 77 wearing anything.
And is the term “plus size” really a size for everyone? It’s so biased that you might as well call it a size 55 or 66.
Society has created an environment where being a size 77 is something to be ashamed of.
The media hasn’t taken a fresh look at the different standards of beauty, and it’s relegating beauty to being thin.
How should we live our lives?
Should we live up to their standards or should we live up to my standards?
I want to pose one question here: are we really living our lives for ourselves?
Even dieting, which we thought was our choice, may have been imposed on us by societal standards.
Why not think about getting older?
Eighty-year-old grandmothers look at a young 50-year-old, or even a younger 30-year-old, and call them beautiful.
It’s a good time to think about, where is the standard of beauty?
Maybe the standard of beauty is in the individual.
We may have all sorts of prejudices and egos, but as we get older, we will let go of them one by one.
Then we will realize. That true beauty is not about what others think of you, but about accepting yourself as you are.
You’ll realize that what you can’t see is more important than your long legs or thin biceps.
At the very least, you’ll realize that healthy beauty is something to keep in mind.
For example, if you eat a high-calorie meal because it’s someone’s birthday, don’t stick your hand down your throat in the bathroom that night to induce gagging.
If you eat something greasy, you don’t starve yourself for two days in a row to make up for that mistake.
We are rotting inside and out.
Stop limiting yourself to being like the girls in the magazine and start finding your own.
The truth is, we don’t know if they’re happy, and they may be living in a state of lostness because they’re trying to live up to someone else’s standards.
In this world of worrying and thinking, why add to the pain of staying in shape.
We shouldn’t exercise because we want to be thin, but because we want to be healthy.
The reason we fast shouldn’t be to be skinny.
A healthy body is the foundation for everything else we do, because at the end of the day, it’s health, not thinness, that we need for the goals and dreams we want to achieve.
When you love and care for yourself, you’ll be in a position to love others and be able to love others in return.
I think it’s time to stop letting the media fool us and start thinking about who we really are.
Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy lives to attend and I hope you find yours.
You are already valuable and beautiful enough. I hope you believe in yourself and move forward.
Thank you.

5 minute speech by a lecturer at a women’s college

Good afternoon, ladies.
Each of you in front of me is a treasure trove of talent. You are the future leaders in your respective fields, and I’m more nervous today than most days to speak in front of such a group of young, brilliant women.
I can see the confidence and enthusiasm in each of your faces, and it motivates me greatly.
Today we’re going to talk about princesses.
What do you think of when you think of princesses?
Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Swan Lake…
There are so many princesses in the fairy tales that enriched our childhoods.
They wear colorful and beautiful dresses, have gentle and graceful personalities, and most of all, they have an attitude of waiting.
What kind of waiting?
Waiting for the prince to come back from fighting the dragon, waiting for the prince to marry them, and waiting for the “happily ever after” ending.
But what happens when a princess doesn’t wait for a prince, but instead finds her own way?
In recent years, a princess with a different personality and a different story has emerged.
Do you know Robert Munsch’s paper bag princess?
This princess is completely different from the traditional princesses we know.
In the story, the princess takes matters into her own hands and sets off on her own adventure to slay the dragon and save the prince.
But after being saved by the prince, the prince is unhappy with the princess for one ridiculous reason: she’s dressed in a shabby paper bag.
In the end, the princess refuses to marry him and goes off to find her own life.
What does the princess get for not choosing the outcome of marriage?
Her own life. If she had married the prince, she would have been nothing more than a beautiful ornament in the palace. But she rejected that life and chose her own.
Which do you prefer?
You can decorate yourself with fancy dresses and things, but at the cost of a life trapped in a picture frame?
Or would you rather be brave and take the path of adventure and discover your life?
I’m here to tell you not to lock yourself in a castle.
I’m sure there are some of you sitting here right now dreaming of a Cinderella-style rise in status or a life of luxury.
Some of you may be hoping to bask in your husband’s halo.
But that’s an anachronism.
Don’t stuff yourself into the snobbish mold of marriage and upward mobility.
You are more than capable of slaying your own dragons and navigating your own thorny path.
Let’s look at today’s reality for a moment.
As you may have noticed, the job market is getting tougher and tougher.
As a result, the word “matchmaking” has become a buzzword.
We’re seeing more women in their early 20s joining matrimonial agencies.
Some people say that “a woman’s age is like a Christmas cake,” encouraging young people to give up their dreams and chase a stable life.
But I know that’s not the life you’re living.
You can believe in yourself and walk a life of agency and proactivity.
Instead of living in the shadow of others, I want you to be your own light.
Friends, princesses don’t just exist in fairy tales.
You can all be your own self-saving princesses.
I encourage you to dream bigger and carve out your own path, instead of being confined to the mold the world presents you with.
Because you are, and you are your own heroine.
Thank you so much for listening.
I hope this has inspired you a little bit today.

Parenting Instructor 5 minute speech

Hello, thank you all for joining us today. Parenting is such a challenging and important role, so how did your day go with your child today, and did you have any unexpected conflicts or conflicts with your child today?
How many of you feel like every day is a battle? Parenting is not an easy job. From the moment a child is born, parents are faced with a new world. But we all know that the journey isn’t always filled with happiness and joy.
What do you think when your child is fidgety for no reason, uncontrollable, or just plain lethargic or violent?
“Ew – who does that look like?”
“Where did that come from?”
Have you ever felt this angry or discouraged?
Well, there’s an answer in that reaction. After all, our children take after their moms and dads. Parents are their first teachers and closest models.
We see so many parents come to us with behavioral problems, but if you look closely, the answers often lie with mom and dad.
Some parents are unable to contain their own anger and take it out on their children, while others complain that they are giving their child everything they have and doing everything they can, but their child is acting out. The problem may be that they are giving everything they have, and that “everything” may be the problem.
Because when you do everything for your child, you may be depriving them of the opportunity to grow on their own.
Every word you say and every action you take is absorbed by your children, and it’s reflected in their behavior and attitudes. Even the slightest negative comment, criticism, or overbearing interference can be deeply hurtful.
So what can be done?
Yes – parents need to get healthy first.
If that’s not immediately possible, you can try to identify the specific behaviors that are being misrepresented to your child as a result of your own issues and work on those first.
This process can be difficult, sometimes starting with admitting your own issues. But for the sake of our children’s future, we need to be brave. Being a good parent is not easy. There are no right answers, and growing as a parent is a constant process.
Just like marriage takes a lot of preparation, parenthood takes a lot of preparation, but most of the time, when you’re faced with a problem, you’re like, “Huh? What’s wrong?” and then you’re like, “What’s wrong?” and then you try to figure out what’s wrong and fix it.
And then, instead of getting to the bottom of it and fixing it, we just get frustrated.
Don’t do that. Your child’s life is at stake. Your child’s life is at stake, and your actions in this moment can shape the rest of their lives.
Don’t wait until they’re older to judge their character, don’t send them to a school to teach them character, be a good parent from a young age.
Fix me, change the child. Children subconsciously take in every message their parents throw at them, so changing you is the fastest and surest way to change them.
In closing, I’d like to say this.
You don’t have to strive to be perfect to be a good parent, you just have to take it one step at a time. As they say, happy parents make happy children, and being healthy and happy yourself will be the best education for your child.
I hope you enjoyed today’s seminar, and I hope you find it useful for your family.
Thank you very much.

5 minute speech by a lecturer at a daycare center

Hello, everyone.
I’m ○○○, the lecturer for today’s lecture at ○○ Children’s Center.
First of all, I would like to thank the parents in this room. I can feel your deep love and dedication to your children by the way you’ve taken the time out of your busy lives to come to this lecture to help your children grow. I hope that what I have to say today will be of some use to you in your own homes.
I’ve been caring for babies and toddlers for a long time, so I can relate to the psychology and developmental stages of young children, as well as the many challenges that parents face in raising them.
If there’s one thing that parents have in common, it’s that they want their children to grow up healthy, happy, and smart. They want them to be intelligent, and they want them to do well in school, but many of them have only a vague idea of how to make sure that happens.
Today, we’re going to talk about it from the perspective of a child, and for a child. What are the things we can do to raise our kids to be smart and happy?
What makes some people more intelligent than others?
Are people born intelligent or not, determined by their genes? Or is intelligence determined by your environment – where you live and how you live? These are very old questions, and they still don’t have clear answers. Even among scientists and psychologists, there are many different opinions.
But one thing is certain. It’s not enough to be born with great intelligence.
In some ways, intelligence is like a muscle in your leg or arm: it needs to be exercised. Children’s brains, too, can only grow if they are trained with the right stimulation.
Mental exercise is especially important for young children. Many child psychologists advocate that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. This way, they say, children are more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. On the other hand, if children are left alone for long periods of time with nothing to do, they are more likely to lose energy and not develop their thinking skills.
And play isn’t just about passing the time – the time a child spends with you, and the experiences they have through play, are important nourishment for their intelligence, emotions, and social skills. Parents’ role here is essential. As your child grows, you need to interact with them and provide them with constant opportunities to think and creative stimulation.
So, what can we specifically do to raise our kids to be smart?
First, ask your child the right questions.
Questions encourage children to explore the world and think for themselves. For example, questions like “Why is the sky blue?” or “How can I put this puzzle together?” can stimulate your child’s thinking.
Second, try solving problems with your child.
By solving problems, your child can learn to think creatively and logically at the same time. It’s important that you help them along the way, but don’t give them the right answer too quickly.
Third, encourage your child to not be afraid to make mistakes.
Children learn and grow by making mistakes. When they get an answer wrong or are hesitant to try something new, positive encouragement from parents goes a long way.
Do I want my child to be smart?
Do you want your child to be smarter than other children?
If so, actively give your child things to think about.
Take an interest in your child, play with them, and give them things to think about.
The more you give your child these opportunities, the deeper their thinking will go and the bigger their minds will become. This is not just about developing intelligence, but also about empowering them to find their own way in the world.
I sincerely hope that this talk will inspire parents to spend more quality time with their children and provide them with the right stimulation and attention.
Thank you for joining us today.

Child Actor Academy Instructor 5 minute speech

It’s easy to find child actors on TV who are not only pretty and cute.
They’re skilled at expressing emotions in front of the camera and captivating the audience.
It’s amazing to see them with tears streaming down their faces and reciting all those lines.
They already have the basics of acting down pat, which defies our preconceived notions of them being just kids.
There’s no doubt that they’re talented.
However, we shouldn’t forget that behind this talent are many hours of practice and challenges they have to deal with on their own.
How much do we know about the hard work and sacrifice behind their smiles?
In 2000, Daniel Radcliffe, an 11-year-old boy from London who auditioned for Harry Potter, became the most famous child in the world a year later.
The first movie adaptation of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter books, The Sorcerer’s Stone, was every bit as successful as the novels, and brought everyone involved into the spotlight.
But kids grow up fast.
Radcliffe’s appearance in the third installment, Prisoner of Azkaban, was a far cry from the second installment.
It was only four years later, but Harry was still 12 years old, while Radcliffe, at 15, was no longer a young face.
The changes that come with growing up can expand your possibilities as an actor, but they can also limit them.
Over the course of a series, their appearance, performance, and even tone of voice can change from the character in the audience’s memory, leaving them torn between who they are and their on-screen image.
As Radcliffe said in a recent interview.
“It’s been a wonderful decade, but I don’t want to hear anymore, ‘Work your magic.’
‘ The best thing that ever happened to me was when someone told me I was really good in the play ‘Equus.’”
In the first scene of his next film, “Woman in Black,” we see a close-up of his face without glasses for the first time since his debut.
We see his determination to transform.
In the process of growing up, child actors are constantly trying to shed their old image and prove themselves through new challenges.
In Korea, we have Mi-dal-yi from Soompung Obstetrics and Gynecology.
For a while, the media was buzzing with the reappearance of Mi-dal.
People called her Mi-dal instead of her full name, Kim Sung-eun.
It’s no exaggeration to say that it dominated her life.
She cried and confessed that she wanted to get rid of the label that had followed her for 10 years, but she was still called Midal.
She confessed that she even suffered from depression because of the exclusionary stares and attention she received.
Will she ever be free of that 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 the pointy-eared alien Spock in the popular series Star Trek, titled his autobiography I Am Not Spock.
I can only imagine what he would have titled it.
Kiyoshi Atsumi, who starred in a whopping 48 films in director Yoji Yamada’s “Men Are Suffering” series, is known for his unique approach to identity confusion.
Atsumi was the polar opposite of Torajiro in the movies, and when people kept expecting him to be Torajiro, he went into total seclusion.
He wouldn’t eat with the actors or talk on the phone, and even when he took a taxi, he would get off at the entrance to his neighborhood for fear of giving away where he lived.
It’s a mistake to expect public cheers and applause.
You have to think about the identity confusion and side effects that the child will have to deal with as they grow up.
We need to recognize their desperation to shed the child actor label by appearing in adult films.
It also requires a change in perception from the public, the production team, and the actors themselves.
It’s important that we don’t just consume their cuteness and talent, but create an environment where they can take control of their own lives.
Thank you, everyone, for listening.

Lecturer, Department of Practical Music 5 minutes speech

Good evening, everyone.
I’m very grateful that so many of you are here today.
Music has a profound impact on so many moments in our lives. A soothing melody to wake us up in the morning, a song that brings back memories of a loved one, or a driving rhythm as we run toward a goal. When music is combined with film, the power of this art form is multiplied even further.
It’s not uncommon for a piece of music from a movie to stay with people longer than the movie itself. If directors are the creators of movies, music supervisors are the ones who bring them to life, and nowadays music plays as important a role in movies as the director and actors. This is because music has become an integral part of bringing emotion to every single scene in a movie, and drawing the audience deeper into the story.
One of my favorite film composers is Japanese composer Hisaishi Joe.
Starting with Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind in 1984, his music has been featured in countless anime. His music is more than just background music, it’s another protagonist of the story, and it touches audiences. His music has been loved not only in Japan, but also throughout Asia, as he has scored films such as Welcome to Dongmakgol and Taehwangsaenggi in Korea. His music blends Eastern sensibilities with Western sophistication, and it’s not just moving, it’s art.
Watching him, I feel.
If I were to become a master like Hisaishi Joe one day, I would like to be a composer until I am over 90 years old. I want to create music that will stand the test of time, and I want to be able to talk about and share the many pieces of music that have touched people over the years, and how they came to be, and how I worked on them. The path to becoming a virtuoso is not easy, but it is my dream, and it is the dream of everyone here.
But becoming a virtuoso in any field is never easy; it takes hard work, passion, and constant challenge.
For some reason, art has always been perceived as something detached from life, an advanced hobby, or something esoteric and pedantic that no one will ever understand.
The public’s attitude towards art is often one of passive acceptance, often in awe of works hailed as “masterpieces” by critics.
I want to break down these barriers. I want the public to be more interested in our field. Not just interested, but interested enough to stick their necks out and criticize the smallest mistake or stumble – sometimes uncomfortable criticism is what ultimately makes us grow.
What I’m trying to say to you is that together, we can bring more people into our artistic world. If our hard work and talent can capture the hearts and minds of the masses, it will revitalize the field and open up greater possibilities, just as the Harry Potter series exploded the public’s interest in fantasy literature.
Also, the authenticity of an amateur – your love for something and your sincerity in doing it – will be the driving force behind this whole movement. Accidental masterpieces don’t come from mere luck – they’re the result of passion and dedication bordering on addiction, so why not use that passion to create a sense of wonder and aura for the masses?
I have scored many movies over the years, but I know that if they don’t like the music even once, they won’t commission me next time. I always approach my work with that sense of urgency, and it’s a real battle every time.
What’s the most important thing for you as a composer?
Probably writing songs consistently. Talent comes from consistent effort and practice. It is my sincere hope that you and I will continue to write and eventually create one of those accidental masterpieces.
I believe in your potential and your passion.
Let’s work together and give it our all until that day when we bring a new masterpiece to the world.
Thank you very much, everyone, for listening.

5 minute speech, civic organization seminar instructor

Universities are one of the most fiercely contested places where attempts to eliminate uncertainty are taking place. We don’t just see the institution of college as a place for academic study; it’s seen as a social safety net, an insurance policy for the future, and by extension, the difference between success and failure. But what if I told you that a college diploma doesn’t have the same power to reduce future uncertainty that it once did? It’s something that would get you nodding your head a hundred times over.
While entering and graduating from college is seen as a gateway that everyone must pass through, we need to ask ourselves what we’re losing in this construct. With college being pushed as if it’s the only option, the perception is that everyone in Korea must go through the university gate to earn a living. So, what can you do with a high school diploma in Korea? Unfortunately, it’s hard to give a clear answer.
Moreover, the moment people hear the phrase “high school graduation,” they start to wonder if there’s a story behind it. Suddenly, you’re labeled as someone with a story. This isn’t just an issue of education, it’s a symptom of a structural problem in our society. In Korea, the word “high school graduate” is itself a label that limits someone’s possibilities. This is the current state of education in Korea.
If you look at the reality of American universities, it’s no different. It’s almost like we’re twins. Would you believe it if I told you that graduating from a prestigious university such as an Ivy League school doesn’t guarantee a job? It costs more than $250,000 to graduate from most private universities, and many parents and students end up in debt after graduation. This financial burden exacerbates the problem that educational opportunities are concentrated in the hands of a few. The American university bureaucracy has become bloated, and despite high criticism, professors take sabbaticals and are replaced by low-paid instructors. Yet despite these problems, the university industry as a whole is thriving in the US and South Korea. This is a result of the fact that universities have become an industry, not just a place of education.
In a game where we don’t know who will succeed or who will win, it’s scary, but the flip side is that uncertainty is what makes fairness and integrity possible. Uncertainty is a critical condition that makes change and innovation possible.
To achieve fairness and integrity, we need legal mechanisms to support it, and slogans, declarations, and movements are important, but what is equally necessary is to recognize the value of the tension that comes with uncertainty, and to restore the uncertainty that has been undermined by vested interests. For example, there is merit to the argument that universities should have higher thresholds. We need to listen to the voices that say we should abolish under-enrolled universities.
We need to move away from the idea of a university for everyone and embrace the idea of a university for someone, and that someone should be open to people from all backgrounds, not just the children of those at the top. We need a new way of evaluating students, not just by their grades, but by their talents and potential and making decisions about investing in their future.
Alongside this, we need a culture that looks at students who don’t go to college with compassion and recognizes college as a personal choice. This is not just a change in perspective, but a major reform of our social system. Otherwise, the endless competition, the stress of entrance exams, and the depression of students will continue to perpetuate, which in turn will lead to problems for society as a whole.
Thank you, everyone, for listening.

Buddhist Lecture Speaker 5 minutes speech

Good morning, everyone.
I am ○○, who has come here to spread and share the lofty teachings of the Buddha to the citizens. I would like to join hands to thank you for welcoming me today with a clean and fragrant heart.
This is not just a lecture, but a time for us to take a fresh look at the world we live in through the Buddha’s teachings and discover the seeds of enlightenment within each of us. Enlightenment isn’t something big or far away; it’s right here, right now, in your heart. Today, I want to be a small part of watering that seed.
From Zhong’s perspective, the world is a dizzying place of ever-changing colors.
The quiet nights of old are gone, and the cities are nocturnal.
In a city that never sleeps, our minds are tired and weary from the hustle and bustle.
Our eyes are losing their ability to see amidst the dazzling colors.
And that’s just the beginning.
In a time when the crystals of tamzinqi are worshipped, when waste and lust are the order of the day, when only illusions are peddled, and truth and truths are misleading and shunned. Today, we live as if we are chasing after the true meaning of life. Amidst the constant ringing of cell phone notifications and the endless flood of information, how much time do we have to face ourselves?
In the Yukjodanjing, a collection of the writings of the Yukjō Hyehyeon ambassadors, there is a passage that goes something like this
“Look at the finger that points to the moon, but do not look at the moon.”
It’s like a warning to those who get caught up in the letter or form and fail to see the real truth.
I’d like to interpret this saying in a broader sense.
Our lives, our bodies, as we call them, are all just a facade.
The most important thing, the invisible and therefore more important thing, the mind, is like looking at your finger with eyes clouded by the world.
You can barely see what’s right in front of you, and you can’t see the truth beyond.
Caught up in the illusion, unable to penetrate the essence, unable to take ownership of life, you are a fly firmly caught in the web of karma and kites.
People often make success and material abundance the goal of their lives.
We strive for nice houses, expensive cars, and higher status and honor, but do they bring true peace to our hearts?
Greed is insatiable, and satisfaction is fleeting. Material things are like shadows that can disappear at any moment.
It is the truth beyond these illusions that we must hold on to.
Buddhists are no different.
There are many who are more satisfied with coming to the temple to flaunt their wealth and indulge their vanity than they are with practicing pure Buddhism.
They have the sutras in their hands, but not in their hearts.
They circle the pagoda and offer prayers, but forget the true source.
The reason why we cleanse our minds and offer prayers before the Buddha every morning is not just a formality; it’s to quiet our minds and use it as an opportunity to reflect on our true nature.
There are some things we see better with our eyes closed.
If you want to see the moon, not your fingers, you don’t have to strain your eyes to see it, you just have to quiet your mind so that you can connect with the full moon rising within you.
Close your eyes, sit still, and watch the agitation in your own mind, and when it subsides, only then will you see the truth.
To the masses, I appeal again.
Let us break away from all illusions and tools, and strive for the true things, the words of truth and cultivation, so that this place may become a living paradise.
The paradise that Buddhism speaks of is not something far away.
It’s right here, right now, if we purify our minds, sincerely understand each other, and share our enlightenment.
And I have no doubt that everyone in this room is already on that path.
Thank you for listening.
May you all be enlightened and may you all have a strong heart to live in the world.

5 minute bike club presenter speech

It’s a sunny fall day, and you’re driving down the highway, and you come across a group of motorcyclists.
It’s a spectacular sight to see them riding in an orderly fashion, but their individuality is dazzlingly free and colorful.
Riders are bonded by the camaraderie of their peers, and their faces are bright as they ride toward the same destination.
These people usually suffer from a disease that causes them to hear the wind in their ears, whether asleep or awake.
Whether sitting or standing, every cell in their body craves vibration, and whenever they have a moment, they open a map and imagine the ends of the continent.
He spends the day preparing to go on the road, and eventually, in the evening, he takes off his leather clothes and returns home.
“Why do you want to ride this dangerous thing?”
My wife said the evening the bike was delivered to the house after I got my small two-wheeler license.
“It’s for fun, not to die on,” I shrugged.
After that, I rode like crazy all spring, summer, fall, and winter.
I fell off, and I came close to dying.
Now that I’m in my 50s, looking back, I don’t think this was the life I was meant to live.
My youthful dreams were unspecific, but I think I believed there was a life out there somewhere where I didn’t have to take off my leather and go home.
Maybe it was because I didn’t realize that such a life didn’t exist anywhere in the world.
At a college reunion, a friend said, “My husband suddenly wants to ride a motorcycle,” and her male classmates said, “Wow, your husband’s a man’s man.
“Wow, your husband is fulfilling his manhood fantasy.”
The bikers would say.
“I ride because I can’t sleep with this pounding in my chest.”
“It’s amazing how this sophisticated machine doesn’t fall over when you lean left or right, and it doesn’t go off the road.”
“Beyond all that, I ride because of the limitless freedom I feel when I cut through the wind,” says another.
My wife’s words gave me a deeper understanding of what it means to ride a bike.
When you’re young, whether your dreams are specific or not, not many of us are able to clearly fulfill them.
Whether you became an artist because you wanted to be an artist, or a scientist because you wanted to be a scientist, we’re all left with a longing for the road less traveled.
Just as you can’t see west if you’re looking east.
Maybe you live with the hope of becoming a better artist or scientist right here and now.
If riding a motorcycle were a man’s dream, everyone would be able to ride one, as long as they could afford it.
But not everyone rides.
Sometimes friends ask me, “I want to ride a bike, but what can I do?”
The answer is simple.
You get your license, buy a bike, and ride.
Of all the friends who have asked me this, not a single one of them actually rides a bike.
One person I know started riding a bike at age 70.
He started strength training to ride his bike, hung out with young people, and nicknamed himself “Superman”.
He’s not a world-saving Superman, but he’s a life-energizing Superman.
He’s realizing what he didn’t get to do when he was younger.
We admire him, and he cares about young people.
British movie star Ewan McGregor rode his bike from London across the Eurasian continent, through Alaska and Canada, and across the continental United States to New York City.
Another superhuman rider rode across the Eurasian continent in a week from Busan to Sokcho and back to his native Finland via Vladivostok, Russia.
A bike is not just a means of transportation.
It’s an emotional tool, and it’s also a challenge to test your limits.
What’s not risky in this world?
When you’re trying to accomplish something, whether it’s a bike or anything else, there’s nothing in the world where you take on a challenge knowing the outcome is guaranteed.
What my wife’s words made me realize is that when people give you all sorts of reasons why you can’t do something, it’s only by overcoming those reasons, challenging yourself, and doing it that you can achieve your aspirations.
Challenging and executing on things you thought you couldn’t do is what romance is all about.
There’s always time for a new challenge.
That’s how we can achieve romance and still take off our leathers and go home.
Thank you for listening.

5 minute speech by a lecturer at a cultural event

hello.
I would like to extend a warm welcome to you to the ○○ Lecture.
Culture and the arts are a part of our lives, and their power is much greater than we realize. I’m sure you’ve always been interested in culture and the arts, and I’m sure that interest has led you to this lecture.
Today, we’re going to talk about one area of art that is often undervalued compared to its role and function. The art we encounter in our daily lives sometimes comforts us, gives us new perspectives, and sometimes allows for deep reflection, but some art is so close to us that its value is easily overlooked.
Which of the narrative genres do you enjoy the most?
Movies? TV shows? Plays? Novels?
They’re all great genres, but today we’re going to talk about something that’s a little bit on the fringe, and especially in Korea, that’s still underappreciated: comics.
Comics. We all watched them as kids, right?
I mean, no story of my childhood is complete without comics, specifically from the ages of eleven to seventeen. Eighty percent of my life was comics. I think I read every genre: action, sci-fi, romance, fantasy.
Comics with all these stories were more than just fun for me, they were a huge part of my life, even looking back on it now.
But what do you think of when you think of comics?
Violent, sensationalized, distracting, spoiling kids…
These are often more negative reactions than positive, but it’s unfortunate that we judge all comics by these standards. While it’s true that there are bad comics, there are also tons of good ones, and we’re limiting ourselves if we don’t see the possibilities within them.
How is a comic constructed?
So let’s say we have a picture, and then we have speech bubbles that contain the dialog of the people in the picture, and then we have text that says, “Tada, tada, tada, tada, tada, tada,” and then we have spaces that break up the flow of the story, and then we have spaces in between.
These spaces, the gaps between panels, are one of the most important features of comics.
The reader has to make their own way through the story. Comics require active participation from the reader beyond what is simply shown. For example, let’s say you have a scene where a character gets up and leaves a room. Comics don’t draw every single action in detail; they selectively show only meaningful actions, leaving the rest to the reader’s imagination and interpretation. The reader fills in the blanks, completing the story in their own way.
In this way, comics are not just picture books, but narrative art that interacts with the reader. When we watch a movie, we delegate all the action to the screen, but when we read a comic, we have to fill in the gaps ourselves.
Scholars have also noted the unique function of comics. Comics are recognized as a unique art form because of their power to spark readers’ creativity and imagination, and their ability to engage each reader in the narrative through the process of re-creating the story rather than just being told it.
Unfortunately, in Korea, we still tend to underestimate the capabilities and value of comics, but they have so much potential. More than just entertainment, manga can sometimes seriously address social issues, convey complex emotions, and offer new perspectives.
So I’d like to ask you.
Do you still see comics as violent, distracting, and “evil”? Or are you ready to see the creative and engaging value of comics?
I hope today’s talk has helped you change your preconceived notions about comics. Remember, comics are a tool that can bring more value to our lives.
Thank you.

Welcome 5 minute speaker speech

Hello, everyone.
I am ○○○, the presenter.
I would like to extend a warm welcome to you all to ○○○ Women’s University.
I hope that in the next four years, you will grow even more in ○○○.
I have been to many places to give lectures, but today I would like to say something to women because this is a women’s university.
A few days ago, I read a book.
After I finished the book, I felt so ashamed and disgraced of myself.
The passage that struck me early on was this.
“I had seen quite a few ugly women by then, so to speak, but I had never seen a woman as ugly as she was.”
It was a novel about an ugly woman, an ugly woman.
We live in such an ugly culture.
In a world where ugly women aren’t even worthy of attention, we cheer and applaud beautiful women like a conditioned reflex.
This begs the question: Is physical appearance really the only criterion we should be striving for? Who sets the boundaries between beauty and ugliness? We need to ask ourselves if it’s fair for us as human beings to be judged by someone else’s standards.
We need to ask ourselves.
Why do we chase after this media-created standardized beauty: high noses, big eyes, small faces, ant waists.
Why do we discriminate against ugly people and show our snobbishness.
And what makes an ugly person ugly, anyway?
And, conversely, where does the culture of disparaging pretty people come from?
What is it about this culture of degradation that is so deeply infiltrating our lives.
Is it because we are women?
Is it because we are women?
The appearance standards and societal judgments that are held more strongly against women are blind to the value of each individual woman. It’s not fair that we’re judged on our appearance before we’re judged on something as essential as our success, accomplishments, and character. We need to stop accepting this injustice and do our part to change it.
What kind of person am I?
Have our students ever seriously considered what kind of person they are?
Why does the ugly girl in a novel have to be so withdrawn, passive, and hide from people just because she’s ugly?
People throw stones at her because she’s ugly, no matter what kind of person she is.
I wonder if there’s a part of me in there.
In these situations, we need to take a step back and reflect on ourselves. Before judging someone by their appearance, listen to what’s inside of them, their story. Isn’t that true maturity, trying to understand the pain, the hope, and the humanity that lies within?
Are we choking on this tainted version of beauty, beauty for show?
The 21st century is said to be the age of individuality, but are we really living in the age of individuality?
Have we become blinded by the face without seeing the person?
We, the students of ○○○ Women’s University, hopefully treat people with eyes that see ‘people’ and not ‘faces’.
I hope we will go out into the world with eyes that see the heart.
Furthermore, through our efforts and voices, we hope to create a society that can truly evaluate what ‘humanity’ is and what it means. Individual change leads to social change. I want you to be an agent of that change.
I hope that you will grow into a person who can accurately say that something is wrong, instead of being swept away by a world that is wrong.
○○○ Women’s University.
I hope you have fun and make many memories.
Thank you very much for listening.

University lecturer 5 minutes speech

Hello, everyone. My name is ○○○.
Nowadays, when we turn on the TV, we can see a lot of perfect men and women with flawless eyes and bodies. They are capturing our attention in various media such as commercials, dramas, and movies. What do you think when you see them? Have you ever thought, “I want to be like them”?
If you do, I don’t blame you – I’m one of those people who thinks it’s nice to be pretty and nice to be cool – but there are more important values that get overlooked when we become obsessed with our appearance, and that’s what I want to talk to you about today.
People often use the phrases “nice face” and “nice body” to describe someone who is pretty and slim. We’ve become so accustomed to superficiality that it’s easy to get caught up in it, but we need to remind ourselves that it’s not all about the outside. We spend so much time and effort on the outside, but not enough time on the inside.
Of course, looking good is important. It’s the first impression you make, and first impressions often have a huge impact on the rest of your life. In fact, it can even play a role in boosting your self-confidence, which is why some people turn to plastic surgery or dieting to reinvent themselves and feel more satisfied with their lives.
But the problem becomes complicated when this process is taken too far and becomes obsessive. If you look at social media, you’ll see that more and more people are losing their self-esteem due to comparison of their appearance. We need to keep one thing in mind: true confidence and happiness comes from cultivating inner beauty, not outer beauty.
Inner beauty doesn’t just mean being nice or giving, but let’s broaden the scope a bit: it also includes being considerate of others, trying not to harm others, loving yourself, striving for self-improvement, and being intelligent and wise. These inner virtues make us deeper and richer people.
An important virtue, especially in today’s fast-paced society, is the ability to maintain harmonious relationships with others. Empathy, caring, and mutual respect are some of the most radiant manifestations of inner beauty. Even in a world where we are judged solely on our physical appearance, people with these attitudes are more than just beautiful, they are truly captivating.
There are so many other virtues that we need to cultivate and cultivate in order to be beautiful, and it would be wrong to evaluate, denigrate, or praise everything about a person based on their appearance alone. Appearance is only a small part of the category of beauty. True beauty encompasses so much more, and it comes from within.
It seems like more and more media outlets are promoting superficiality, and I want to encourage you to take a moment to reflect on yourself so that you don’t get swept up in this trend. Beauty on the outside comes from beauty on the inside. Beauty isn’t about putting on a face, it’s about shining from the inside out. When you love and nurture yourself, you allow others to love you, and you allow yourself to love others.
We want you to be healthy and beautiful on the outside and inside. The outside and the inside will interact with each other and make our lives richer and happier.
Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend this event. I sincerely wish you a healthy beauty and happiness in your future.
