Chairperson: Ballet and Zoe
Chairperson’s Speech – HE

Good evening, Rotarians, ladies and gentlemen. I will be the chairperson for this evening’s discussion. Tonight, my team will argue that “This House Believes Jacqueline Wilson’s Work Should Be Considered the Modern Equivalent of Charles Dickens’”. Firstly, I would like to take a moment to introduce my team. The Proposer of the Vote of Thanks this evening is Lauren Llewellyn and our main speaker is Zoe.
Zoe is an enthusiastic ballet dancer and has reached Grade 5 after completing her exams. Regular exercise is an important thing for Zoe, as she adores P.E. and plays netball. She also enjoys acting and is a member of the Carmarthen Stage Coach. Zoe is very musical; she plays the violin, guitar and is a part of the school choir. So Rotarians, ladies and gentlemen we hope you will be singing Zoe’s praises at the end of her speech Zoe has a personal liking for this topic as she is an avid reader of Jacqueline Wilson’s work, as well as appreciating more classic literature. She began the series at age seven, although the books were aimed at an older age group. As she grew she continued to read, Zoe says Jacqueline Wilson taught her how to enjoy reading. Of Wilson’s work the book ‘Cookie’ is her favourite. The character Zoe sees herself most like is Garnet from the book ‘Double Act’ as she shares the same thirst for literature. Rotarians, ladies and gentlemen, it is my pleasure to introduce our main speaker, Zoe Holland.
Thank you, Zoe. Your speech was illuminating and both interested and informed me. While we all consider the points Zoe has made in her speech, I know I need to, I would like to invite the questioner to address Zoe respectively.
Thank you Mr Questioner; for the well-thought-out question, and once again, thank you Zoe for your full and comprehensive answer.
Rotarians, ladies and gentlemen as I have said our Proposer of the Vote of Thanks is Lauren. Lauren is also very musical; she plays the piano and enjoys

    Contemporary ballet is a form of dance influenced by both classical ballet and modern dance. It employs the fundamental technique and body control principles of classical ballet but permits a greater range of movement than classical ballet and may not adhere to the strict body lines or turnout that permeate classical ballet technique. Many of its concepts come from the ideas and innovations of 20th century modern dance, including floor work and turn-in of the legs. This ballet style is often performed barefoot.…

    Class differences are clearly illustrated at the beginning of the play, in the relationship between Frank and Rita. Class differences are especially evident when Rita assumes that an academic like Frank will enjoy fictions such as "Rubyfruit Jungle" just as much as she did. It is also more obvious when Rita views the religious painting as 'erotic'. She also thinks 'Howard End' sound like a 'naughty' book. She was looking through a working class uneducated perspective than to a higher, educated culture. However, Rita wants to be able to read books and attend ballet opera and appreciate these art forms. The gap exists between the world she has lived in all her life and the world she aspires is brought in several references to book. For example, in Act I scene I, Rita mentions a poem she has read about fighting death and Frank jumps to the conclusion that she means Dylan Thomas. However it is a poem by the Liverpool author Roger McGough that Rita has in mind. There is also one boundary that she refuses to cross which involves meeting Frank on a social level. He invites her to dinner and although Rita eventually finds his house, she knows that the wine she has brought is inappropriate and that she would have been unable to talk confidently to the dinner party guests. She is disturbed by her relatives singing songs at their local pub, especially when her mother says "we could sing a better songs that those" (I,vii).…

    The inspiring Dallas Black Dance Academy, is the official dance training school offering dance classes from ages 4 and up. The academy inspire boys and girls to appreciate dance as an art form, particularly Modern Dance Ballet. Although there are different ballet styles. I chose the Modern Dance Ballet because it is more of a freestyle dance unlike the stylize placement ballet. A typical ballet dancer day consists of warming-up, pre-practice and ending with a performance full of emotion that will always be remembered.…
