     Now, allow me to highlight briefly my key messages in English. 

     Students, over the past six years, you've faced numerous challenges – the social unrest, the pandemic, and the struggle to catch up with academic work. Now, you stand at a crossroads as the release of public exam results is near. 

     Let us remember that grades do not dictate your future. More crucial is your attitude towards life and your perspective on success and failure. 

     Life is full of uncertainties. And obstacles, too. And it is essential to maintain a flexible mindset and think of alternatives for yourself. There is always a choice.

     Moving forward, pursue what excites and interests you. Whether it's learning new languages, sports, or other hobbies, your passion will help you overcome obstacles and bring fulfillment. Life-long learning is a must and will help you realise a fulfilling life.

     And embrace technology and innovation, like AI, to broaden your horizon and enhance your skills. The future is full of possibilities, and your openness to innovation and eagerness to learn will be key to your success. 

     For parents, I think we all agree that time flies. Once we had hoped that our children would grow up faster, but now maybe we missed the old days when they were just little kids. Now it is time to let go, to let them make their own decisions and enjoy their journey. As parents, what we can do – and should do – is to provide them with support, love, and care.

     Graduating students, cherish the fond memories of your campus life, and the companionship of teachers, schoolmates, and good friends. I'm sure you will be proud of your school and the experiences that have shaped you.

     Thank you very much.
