Speaker’s biograph:
Ivanka Marie Trump (born October 30, 1981) is an American businesswoman and former fashion model. She is the daughter of real estate developer and American politician Donald Trump and former model Ivana Trump. She is the Executive Vice President of Development & Acquisitions at her father's company, the Trump Organization, where her work is focused on the company's real estate and hotel management initiatives.
Section 1:
One year ago, I introduced my father when he declared his candidacy. In his own way and through his own sheer force of will, he sacrificed greatly to enter the political arena as an outsider. And he prevailed against a field of 16 very talented competitors.
Like many of my fellow millennials, I do not consider myself categorially republican or democrat. More than party affiliation, I vote based on what I believe is right for my family and for my country. Sometimes it’s a tough choice. That is not the case this time. As the proud daughter of your nominee, I am here to tell you that this is the moment and Donald Trump is the person to make America great again.
Real change, the kind we have not seen in decades, is only going to come from outside of the system, and it’s only going to come from a man who has spent his entire life doing what others said could not be done. My father is a fighter. I have seen him fight for his employees. I have seen him fight for his company. And now I am seeing him fight for our country. It’s also a prelude to reaching a goal that unites us all when this party and, better still, this country knows what it is like to win again.
Vocabulary:
Sheer, affiliation, prelude
Section 2:
My father taught me and my siblings the importance of positive values and a strong ethical compass. He showed us how to be resilient, how to deal with challenges and how to strive for excellence in all that we do. He taught us that there is nothing we cannot accomplish if we marry vision and passion with an enduring work ethic.
Over the years, on too many occasions to count, I saw my father tear stories out of the newspaper about people whom he had never met who were facing some injustice or hardship. He’d write a note to his assistance in a signature black, felt-tip pen, and request that the person be found and invited to the Trump Tower to meet with him. He would talk to them and draw upon his extensive network to find them a job or get them a break. And they would leave his office, as people so often do after having been with Donald Trump, feeling that life could be great again. It is just his way of being in your corner when you are down.
He is colorblind and gender neutral. When Donald Trump is in charge, all that counts is the ability, effort and excellence. At my father’s company, there are more female than male executives. Gender is no longer the factor creating the biggest wage discrepancy in this country, motherhood is. And he will focus on making quality child care affordable and accessible for all. Policies that allow women with children to thrive should not be novelties, they should be the norm.
Vocabulary:
Ethical, resilient, enduring, discrepancy, novelty
Section 3:
A Trump presidency will turn economy around and restore the great American tradition of giving each new generation hope for brighter opportunities than those of generations that came before. In Donald Trump, you have a candidate who knows the difference between wanting something done and making it happen. When my father says that he will make America great again, he will deliver.
We have a chance this year to reclaim our heritage as a country that dreams big and make the impossible happen. Fortunately, Donald Trump is incapable of thinking small. When I was a child, my father always told me: Ivanka, if you’re gonna be thinking anyway, you might as well think big. As president, my father will take on the bold and worthy fights. He will unafraid to set lofty goals and he will be relentless in his determination to achieve them. To people all over America, I say: when you have my father in your corner, you’ll never again have to worry about being let down. He’ll fight for you all the time, all the way, every time.
Vocabulary:
Lofty, relentless

即使Ivanka那么夸她老爸，还是觉得川普治国，比美剧还好看，比纸牌屋还好玩儿😂😂

One's dignity may be assaulted,vandalized and cruelly mocked but it cannot be taken away unless it is surrendered.
