My debate class students have been writing speeches for an imaginary chance to address the UN (see also [broken link! FIXME] earlier post). Here is another student of mine, on the topic of South Korea's high incidence of student suicides. It's not super well-written and it was a little short for the assignment, but I think she actually demonstrates some excellent rhetorical instincts – note her effective use of repetition and the exhortation at the end. My guess is that she is a stunningly good writer in her own language. As usual, I reproduce without corrections, with typos and all mistakes intact.
Hello. I am Kim Chae Yeon from South Korea. I'm just ordinary student you can meet anywhere. I think you wonder why I came here. I'm just ordinary student, but I think I have to say this in UN. Do you think all of the world students are happy? If you think all of the world students are happy, your thinking is wrong.
Especially, South Korea students life is all the same. School and Academy, School and Academy, Again and again and again…. Do you know how many students killed themselves in a day because of the education system? Only in South Korea, almost 42 students killed themselves in a day because of the education system. Do you think this education system is really correct? This education system takes the student's happiness and life. I am not speaking only of student's prospect. This is the biggest problem now.
The most serious problem is in front of your eye, buy why you only see the far from away like war or weapon?
