A Campaign Speech for the Monitor
　　Good morning, everyone. I'm Li Wen. I feel greatly pleasant to compete for our monitor.
　　As a freshman like all of you, I feel curious and excited about the beginning of new campus life and hope for doing more for our class. This is the reason why I run for the monitor. I have three advantages which make me think that I will be qualified for the role of the monitor at the university. Firstly, I am a responsible, friendly and open-minded person with the warm heart to help others. I regard this personality as the prerequisite condition for a popular leader. Secondly, I ever worked as monitor at high school and my class was honored as "advanced class" during this period of time. Thirdly, I am capable of coordination and organization.
　　If you vote for me, you will find that you have made a wise choice in the following days. Please believe me that I will not make you disappointed. Thanks for your listening.               (172 words)

班长竞选演说
　　大家早上好！我是李文。对于能竞选班长，我感到非常开心。
　　和大家一样，作为大一新生，我对崭新的校园生活的开始感到好奇和激动，而且希望能为我们的班级多做一些事情。这是我竞选班长的原因。我具备了三个优势，使我认为自己能够胜任大学班长的角色。首先，我是个负责任、友好而且思想开放的人，并乐于助人。我把这种个性当作成为受欢迎的领导的先决条件。其次，在中学时我曾做过班长，而且在这段时间我们班荣获"先进班级"的称号。再次，我擅长协调和组织。
　　如果你为我投上一票，在接下来的日子里你会发现你做了个明智的选择。请相信我，我不会让你们失望。谢谢。
