Good morning.I am happy to have the chance to talk to you.First，I want to ask you one question.If you could get better grades on math exams simply by learning to play a game，would you be interested？Sure you would.The game is chess.Now let me talk about starting a chess club here at school.
I said that you could get better grades in math by learning chess.That's because chess needs problem solving.Educators and researchers have done studies with students just like you and me.These studies say that chess teaches how to think ahead，how to plan，and how to be scientific in a way to problem solving.If we know better how to use these skills，it is clear that we can use these techniques to solve math problems.
Playing chess is a mental workout.It is thinking and analyzing（分析）.When we read，we think about and analyze the material and hope that we understand it.Playing chess will also help us lean to focus on something we must do when we read.
There is no cost for chess less ass well.The only thing you have to bring to the club meetings is a decision to learn how to play it.
Are you excited yet about leaning to play chess？I hope so，because I am.Thanks for giving me this time to make a speech here.Vote yes for chess!
