because the needed closing brace is in comments. You still need the closing brace uncommented because
now the compiler thinks that the rest of the code below this is part of the speak() method, throwing a
bunch of errors, because you can't have public variables inside a method (those would be called 'local'
variables). I will remove the closing brace from the comment to amend the error and I will add a classic
TODO comment. Don't pay too much attention to my detailed explanation. The bottom line is that an
ending brace was missing. */
