I am slightly nervous but also very excited. Bullying is a big issue, so I thought it would be a good idea for a speech topic. I feel prepared and I think that I will do well. I was shocked at how hard the judges scored one the speeches. Last year, I got a few fives and a few sixes... I calculated the scores up and the judges had added it up wrong! In that case I second... Xara came first.
This year I was thinking of doing a speech about why I should beat Xara in the speeches. I thought it would be funny. I thought again and went for a real problem which needs to be spoken up for. I have been bullied before, so I know what it feels like and what people need to do about it.
For speeches, everyone will always be nervous... even John Key gets nervous when he speaks in public. Here are 3 tips for a good speech.
(1) Avoid mumbling. People often never understand a mumbling person
(2) Notice if you are swaying, if you are, try to control yourself, if not then keep up the good work. (3) Speak loud and clear. Judges/People will understand and give you better marks
Overall, speeches can be nerve racking and also exciting. If you don't get to the finals or don't win, be proud that you did your best.
