How Names Defame

   Hello bloggers!

Today I'm going to be talking to you about my speech.
This year, I wrote a speech about why names of animal species matter.
Here is my speech if you want to read it:


It took me a very long time to write and edit this piece but I am so proud of it!
I did have a few challenges, like making it fit within the time limit, but I guess everyone had a few challenges writing their speeches.
It was also quite fun to do!

I presented it to the class and I messed up terribly.
Even though I made a mistake, I still had the confidence to present it to the school.
I also managed to convince Zahrah to present her speech to the school.
When I presented my speech to the school, I was very nervous at first, but then I was fine.

Turns out, I had bet Zahrah with my speech and come first place in speeches (surprisingly).
I then managed to get into the Selwyn speeches competition.
That was also very nerve-racking and I didn't manage to place, but it was a cool experience.
Some of the other speeches were so good!
Honestly, I'm so proud of myself.

Did you write a speech this year?
What do you think of my speech?

Cya later, have a nice day!

How 2B A Quality Speech Writer


Kon'nichiwa!
Today I'm going to be talking to you about how to write a good speech and my feelings when I presented my speech.
Writing a quality speech takes hard work, a lot of time, and also editing.
The thing is, our class had to have a quality speech written, practiced, and on cue-cards in a week.
We didn't have much time, but I think a lot of the speeches turned out amazing!
Well, I can't keep you waiting too long, can I?
Okay fine, here is how to be a quality speech writer!


I hope this slideshow helped you. It took a lot of effort and time to make.
Right before I started my speech, I was freaking out, well, inside my head.
Obviously I didn't try to let anyone know that I was petrified.
Anyways, afterwards I didn't feel so bad.
I felt like I presented a quality speech calmly in front of a few people.
Trust me, your feelings after presenting a speech are a lot better than they were before.
I just tried to focus on my speech, I tried to block everything else out.
I tried to look at people and make eye contact but I tried to not realize they were real people.

Have you written your speech this year?
What are/were your feelings about presenting it?
