Speeches

[Caution]

So, in three days I am officially done with my Spanish I class. We have a major part of our grades coming in as presentation points, and we've two actual speeches where we get up and speak in front of our class. The first one was required to be a minute long, and I wrote it, timed myself and got 1:06. However, when I got up in front of the class and then finished it, I totaled only around 0:47. Today, I presented a five minute speech in Spanish which was obviously supposed to be five minutes long. I timed it a few times on my own and got close to six minutes, unintentionally. When I read it, I only got 4:54 (counted as five, 15 seconds = 1 point out of 20 points).

I've figured out that when I speak in front of people, I must get so nervous I talk way faster, so I have to subtract twenty seconds out of every minute I "speak."

What are speeches like for you?

Someone write me a speech. This is what I have so far.

Many people are against nuclear power, but really don’t have any reason to be. Compared to coal, or other fossil fuel power source, nuclear power is much more efficient and less pollutant. Nuclear power is very misunderstood. I think that people think about nuclear bombs, and how destructive they are, so they think: “If a nuclear power plant has a problem, it’ll explode into a giant nuclear explosion!”

Structure your speech like an essay.

I suck at writing. How am I supposed to do that?

Oh and by the way, my speech teacher gives me a 100% as long as it's 5 minutes and I actually talk about my topic.

I HAVE to make speeches atleast 2 pages for a 5 minute report, when I time it I get about 10-15min, when I'm presenting I talk so fast. =/
