　　(1) (What) I suggested that we set the topic to be "Sell Yourself" for the annual speech contest in our school.

　　(2) (Situation) Each year our school holds a speech contest, the topic is randomly chosen by the teachers, for example, how to protect the environment, the importance of honesty, and so on. Students are not very excited about these topics.

　　(3) (Task) I am quite interested in participating in speech contests, but I'd like them to be different, more exciting and more useful. So I decided to offer some suggestions to our school.

　　(4) (Actions)

　　i. I proposed three topics: Sell Yourself; Where I'll be in 3 Years; Be Competitive. All focus on future job hunting and career development, which I believe are attractive topics to most students.

　　ii. I surveyed other students and got the information that Sell Yourself seemed better, because it gave us a chance not only to say something, but possibly to sing and dance in addition to just speak.

　　(5) (Result) My proposal was used in the Speech Contest, which was enjoyed by the students. Over 500 students came to watch the speech contest, double the previous audience size. And the participants said the topic gave them a good opportunity to show off and become more confident.
