Introduction:
“Good morning/afternoon/evening, [Tên giám khảo]. Today, I’d like to share with you a book that has had a profound influence on me. It’s called ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ by Harper Lee. I read it for the first time when I was in high school, and since then, it has remained a cherished part of my literary journey.”
Description of the book:
“To Kill a Mockingbird” is a classic American novel published in 1960. It’s a bildungsroman that follows the journey of a young girl named Scout Finch growing up in the racially charged atmosphere of the American South during the 1930s. The story revolves around her father, Atticus Finch, a lawyer who defends a black man falsely accused of raping a white woman. Through Scout’s innocent eyes, we witness themes of racial injustice, moral growth, and empathy.
Personal connection:
“I was drawn to this book because of its exploration of morality and social justice. One particular quote from Atticus Finch has stuck with me: ‘You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view… until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.’ This resonated deeply with me and taught me the importance of empathy and understanding.”
Influence on my life:
“‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ has profoundly influenced my perspective on societal issues and shaped my values. It made me more aware of the injustices in the world and inspired me to stand up for what is right, even in the face of adversity. For example, after reading the book, I became involved in volunteer work aimed at promoting racial equality and social justice in my community.”
Conclusion:
“In conclusion, ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ has left an indelible mark on me, shaping not only my worldview but also my actions. It serves as a reminder of the power of empathy, the importance of standing up against injustice, and the enduring impact of literature. Thank you.”
