Speeches

 **SPEECHES**

This year you are able to have free choice in your speech topic!

If you cannot think of your own topic, here are some that might get you started. Remember your speech needs to be an argument - either one sided or two. Think of it in terms of persuading someone to accept your point of view on a topic. Most speeches also require research!

There is no world food shortage! We are too 'soft' on criminals. Sports people should not be considered as role models. China's 'one child' policy is the answer to the world's population growth. People should be allowed to eat what they like and not be controlled by the government. Robert Mugabe is the modern day Hitler. Gangs should be outlawed. Gangs are the cause of the rising crime rate in New Zealand. There is no such thing as 'freedom'. As in China, people should have to have a permit to have children. There are better role models than sports 'stars'.  Modern China – A better way of life for everyone!  Tibet is part of China, and always has been!  An Olympic boycott is necessary to reveal the ‘real’ China to the world.    The Olympic Games is the best thing that could happen to modern China? Some Information To Help Write Your Speech **
