15．Thank you，Mr．Morley，for your kind introduction（介绍）．It was very nice of you to speak of me like that．While I was listening，I had trouble believing that I was the man you were talking about．My thanks go out（飞向） to all of you for being here at this dinner．
Seven years ago，I became the tennis coach（教练） at this school．When I started coaching，we only had a small team then，just three boys and two girls，and only one tennis court（场地）．So my first job was to increase the team．At the end of the first year，we had ten boys and six girls．The team keeps getting stronger every year．
I've been lucky to have some really good players to coach．Coaches love good players．Some great players from our school over the past years include Herbert Bradbury，Christopher Stanton and Emma Austen．Among the players on our team now is Arthur Burney，perhaps the best of them all．I'm sure you all join with me in wishing him good luck．He is our first student to enter（进入） the Capetown Junior International Team Tournament（锦标赛），where he will play against some of the best young tennis players in the world．Good luck!
The time has come for me，however，to make a change．Recently health problems have made it difficult for me to go on coaching．
I must say．I'm looking forward to（期盼） my retirement（退休） with different feelings．I'm certainly ready for a long rest，but I'm a bit worried about what I'l6l do with my spare time．You might find me watching the games sometimes．
Thank you，everyone．I'll miss you all．
