speech- 5mins

i have a 5 minute speech to do on the Shipping News on whether the global is better than the local or vice versa. i havent done a 5minute speech before. Any advice on how to keep an audience interested for so long? And also, how points or arguments should be made during it? or do u make a cpl and then expand on those couple thourghout the speech?

thanks

MEMORIZATION will always get you great marks even if your content isnt that great

not every can memorise speeches like you bushra, it's an enviable quality...

i don't think there's point in saying good morning/afternoon in a speech, it may be polite, but it's boring

so what can u do about a face that burns up all red?

Well, when you do speeches, you don't really have to be afraid of anything. See, i did my speech last wednesday, and i was shaking real bad at the start, and then i just stopped, and asked myself "WTF am i doing...shaking?!". Its quite unecessary, just do your speech...

i think that to give a good speech u need to make sure that u are really confident in what u are saying, therefore knowing your material really well is always a big plus.. i also find that when listening to speeches there is nothing worse that listening to someone who is bored with what they are saying, like i mean i no most of the time it really is, but for good marks at least pretend to be interested in what u are saying and u might hold the audience much better,... make eye contact and just have fun, it wont kill you

I think for english, just make a good, witty speech that keeps in line with all the points of the elective statement--the only things they will be marking you on are presentation (therefore, humour, confidence and diction) and your content (ie. THE ELECTIVE STATEMENT)
