Its better looking than i thought, its much lighter than i thought. hahaha! <3 came to find me today, i hope she can like this more often, but aww, she got school, but it feels good when she come and pick me up. LOL. shheeshh.
Im going to post one of my RJ[composition in the form of RP saying]. HAVE FUN READING. IS ABOUT MAKING A GOOD SPEECH!

In your opinion, what makes a good speech?

In my opinion, there is no best speaker in the world, nor the worst speaker in the world. What makes a great speech is the preparation, content, attitude and of course, confidence. In a speech to an audience, we must pour them with ideas and things they won't be expecting.

When the point we are giving them is very common, for example, '' everyone drinks water'', they won't be surprise as it is the obvious. When we change it and add some spice to it by giving statistics of what kind of drinks people drink or how much harm does these drinks will do to that person, people will be more interested as majority of them doesn't know all these.

A good speech need time for preparation including rehearsals and researching for ideas or you can say, think out of the box. The content of of the speech must be sufficient to catch the interest and attention of the audience. A boring content of the speech not only will put the audience to sleep, it will also make them restless and might find you annoying.

When the content is interesting and useful to their lives, they would be interested and paying their fullest attention to you. Informative speech like what is the best way to get a high paying job or some other CATCHY title might interest the audience and hence, might make a good speech Attitude also plays an important part in your presentation to make a good speech. As i had learn earlier with Sarah the past few days [even tho she say that 5 points is for stories, i don't see any difference as this can also be applied to having a speech] , when making a speech, we must be relevant to the point we are talking about and not drift away and go out of topic
. We must be passionate in the way we make a speech. We must be hopeful so that the audience will be motivated. We must be succinct as the attention span of the audience is a little more than 10 minutes. If we drag the speech too long, the audience might be lost on how the speech develops. And also, we must respect the audience intelligence so they won't get insulted. Trust their wisdom. Hence, attitude plays an important part in a speech.
The final and most important rule is, confidence. In my years in secondary school, my teacher have repeated umpteen times that when reading a passage in an oral examination, no matter how hard the passage is, you must be confident. Same goes for a speech, for a good speech, the speaker must be confident. Articulation of each words is important.

When you are confident of what you are talking about, audience might listen to you as you seem very certain of your content and will believe what you are trying to tell them. Hence, confidence also plays a part in a good speech, In summary, we cannot just take one of the points above to make a good speech. All of the points must be included in one single speech to make a perfect and entertaining speech for the audience to enjoy
