Best Advice I have ever been given

In America when there’s a graduation, one person is chosen to give an inspirational speech. This person is called the valedictorian. Baz Luhrmann takes a funny look at this phenomenon. Listen to his song “Everybody’s free (to wear sunscreen)”. Listen to this song and pick out the funniest piece of advice. (You can't use the sunscreen one.)

What is the funniest advice he gives here?

Main assignment

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given? You are not very old (even though you may already be wise) yet, but you’ve probably watched a lot of TV and listened to a lot of music. You may even have talked to some other people ;-). So thinking back on all these experiences you probably have picked up on something which was important to you.

A problem

My daughter sleeps with a knife under her bed

She says she does that because she’s afraid I might do something to her. She doesn’t eat until the person who made the food takes a bite of it and she has isolated herself from the world. She’s 13.

She’s always been an introverted child , a little weird , but now I think she is going insane.

What should I do ?

Which piece of advice do you like best?

Your advice

You are going to make your own video and you are the valedictorian. It has to be about 3-4 minutes long. In this video (of yourself) you are going to tell about the best piece of advice you have ever been given. Explain the circumstances; why did you ask for advice or was it unasked for, but still very welcome! Also explain what you did with this piece of advice and how it affected you. Why do you want to give this piece of advice to your fellow graduates? It has to be an inspirational speech!
