「Of course, sir. I usually like reading some English poetry. My favourite poem named On Changes was written by Irene Dunlap.」小紫此刻的聲線異常清脆，發音咬字十分清晰。
「Change is the only absolute in the world, （變化是世界上惟一絕對的東西）
the only thing（是惟一）
that you can depend on. （你能相信的事情）
Nothing stays the same. （沒有什麼能一成不變）
Tomorrow will come, （明天將來臨）
bringing with it（它會帶來新的開始）
new beginnings and sometimes
unexpected endings. （並且有時還會帶來意想不到的結局）
You can hold on to the past（你可以抓住過去）
and get left in the dust; （蒙受遺棄）
or,you can choose to（或者，你可以選擇）
jump on the ride of life（躍上生命之車）
and live a new adventure（進行一次新的冒險）
with perseverance（憑藉堅持不懈）
and an open mind.（和廣闊的胸懷）」
「Wow, excellent! Your pronunciation is pretty good！」高橋老師臉上的表情顯然很興奮。
正當時，音響中擴出了跡部低沉磁性的聲音，「Each is born with the capacity to win at life. Each person has a unique way of seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, and thinking. Each has his or her own unique potential——capabilities and limitations. Each can be a significant, thinking, aware, and creative being——a productive person，a winner.（人皆有其特立獨行之方式去審視、聆聽、觸摸、品位及思考，因而都具備獨特潛質——能力和局限。人皆能舉足輕重，思慮明達，洞察秋毫，富有創意，成就功業。﹡）
等小紫上臺時，她已經平復了心情，流利的英語從她嘴中脫口而出，「Each human being is born as something new，something that never existed before. Each is born with the capacity to win at life.﹡（人皆生而為新，為前所未有之存在，人皆生而為贏。）」
……
「The words 『winner』 and 『loser』 have many meanings．When we refer to a person as a winner，we do not mean one who makes someone else lose.﹡（「成者」與「敗者」含義頗多。談及成者我們並非指令他人失意之人。）」
……
「Winners do not play 『helpless』, nor do they play the blaming game. Instead，they assume responsibility for their own lives. They don』t give others a false authority over them. Winners are their others a false authority over them. Winners are their own bosses and know it.﹡（成者既不佯裝「無助」，亦不抱怨他人。相反，他們對人生總是獨擔責任，也不以權威姿態淩駕他人之上。他們主宰自己，而且能意識到這點）」
……
最後就是決賽的重頭戲，2分鐘的即興演講。主持人出了一個題目：「『When people succeed, it is because of hard work. Luck has nothing to do with success.』 Do you agree or disagree with the quotation above Use specific reasons and examples to explain your position. 」（「一個人能否成功取決於他是否努力，和運氣一點也沒有關係。」對於這句話你是贊同還是否定？說明你的理由並且舉出例子來證明的觀點。）
