Welcoming  Speech

May my respect to the Triple Gem, the Buddha, his teaching, and his  followers, the highest objects in Buddhism,Venerable and Reverence Sirs, Friends in the Dhamma.

On behalf of members of English Club, the faculty of Humanities, majoring in English of Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University Nakhonratchasima Campus, I am delighted to welcome you, friends from Nakhonratchasima College, Nakhonratchasima Rajabhat University, and  Rajamangala University of Technology Isaan to our campus for the discussion o­n the topic : How  to Master  English. We are truly honored to be a part of this discussion, in particular, to have you as our guests for what I trust will be an enjoyable and stimulating forum.

First of all, let’s me thank you all of the members of the English  club for arranging a very nice place  for our discussion today and teachers who help us in ways of discussion, as well as all of friends for your  presentation  here. Before beginning the discussion I would like to say  that English is a very important language in the present world. It is a  universal language we use to communicate among nations. Even the  books  we  are now reading were written  in  English. It can be simply said that we face English everyday, for example, name of our universities, written  in  Thai  and  English  together.

As I  have  said  it  is  important, so  we  have  come  here  to  discuss  on  how it is  important  and  search  for  the  way  making  us  to  be  able  to use it efficiently. We hope to be suggested from you, friends  from those universities and I hope you would share your ideas about  the  topic  as  much  as  you can. Don’t worry when  talking with  monks, please talk as easy as you usually do .We are intending to hear your ideas and  we  first  would  like to apologize for any mistakes that our English is not strong enough, please  speak  slowly.

Finally, in  the  name  of  the students  and  teachers  of  the  faculty  of  Humanities, I bless you be happy and rescue from all dangers and may  peace occur in your minds.

Thank you very much for your presentation today.
