    English Speech

    Although, I have a trick I'll continue to use since my last speech (if it's appropriate). I started using overheads with comic-like drawings I made on them. Of course, they're related to the speech, but it distracts everyone making it easier on me, and it got me a few extra marks.

Also English Advanced is pretty hard because I think analysing texts is dumb (ruins the stories), but at least the texts we're doing next year...

    English Speech

    I'm "that guy" :) Sure, it leads me to getting crappy marks (60-70% for speeches), but meh, I'm shy, and I can live with that.
