5min speach

[bencallis]

Hi
Have to do a 5 minuite speach tommorw I have decided to do it on youths getting into trouble (crime). I am looking for some good information and maybe a place where I can get some videos (of like robbing and stuff). Thanks

[Ramar]

By any chance is this for English GCSE? I remember those days, I blagged most of them on spot and walked away with a B. Mine were never 5 minutes long.

Can't help you with the videos sorry.

This is a super awesome site (www.google.com) and this is also good too (http://video.google.com).

Hope it helps!

aw i remember mine so well it was terrible, and i blagged it like ramar did and got 40/50 yay for me and my obnoxious confidence ;)

[Ramar]

I remember my first speech, for some reason I was incredibly nervous. But I had a good teacher and we would end up doing discussions in the middle of lesson and it was on the spot stuff, it made me confident, accompanied with my fantastic dramatic skills.. I gained the blagging skill.

What I'm trying to say Bencallis, is just go for it, most of the people you are scared of won't give a ****. And it will just be the polite people who will give a damn and listen. And note it won't be worse than the dude who was in my class who was going to do a speech on Sipder-man but pulled out because he got embarrased. I believe he cried about it.

I hate English Oral's...

though why you're leaving it to the night before is beyond me O_o

[Raining_again]

but if you plan it too much its like readin a script, i sat the night before and made some key points and bits not to forget and thats it :heh:

[JonSt]

I planned mine about two mins before i did it, ended up with a 2 (B)

If you're doing English GCSE, learning to spell 'speech' would be a good start.

Tell them about CooInTheZoo stabbing people wearing burberry caps

*i dont..maybe i should?*

It's a talk, not a spelling contest - no spelling is necessary. It always helps to read the thread before you set your keyboard to work.

very true :heh:

and you get downgraded for planning a speech too much so beware of that. I planned nothin for my speech. the subject i talked about was very well known to me, and its better picking something like that cause you feel more at ease talking about it.

Oh I see, English GCSE is assessed entirely on oral exams now? They don't teach spelling and grammar anymore?No wonder they say GCSEs are getting easier...

Yup, confidence is all you need! My talks had no planning jus tsome topic titles on 1 post0it note that I didn't use. I got a 1, onnly 2 others got that! Dunno if that translates to an A or and A*.. stupid England school system! :shakehead

I would disagree on that point, you are clearly the retarded one, "arse"

[Blackfox]

Now, now children :P

Oh, and I've helped to take this thread way off topic, but I doubt anyone cares. I was a crap in the first place.

Impress her with your knowledge of all things computery and you will be well in there.....with a good grade.

Man I freakin love English orals. Seemed so much easier and natural to me than analysing Shakespeare in 5 page essays. Just speak about a subject you know about naturally a feel comfortable with so that you can easily blag it if you forget your reaserch.

Fields, I'd just like to take this opportunity to re-state what I have already stated, that I love you and always will.
Thankyou.
Regards the coursework; do what Raining says and you'll be fine.

Ah, GCSE orals, I seem to remember them not counting for much towards your final grade. Anyway here's the Home Office website, has all kinds statistics and reports on youth crime and just crime in general so it might be usful. http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/rds/crime1.html

Remember 5 minutes isn't that long, so try not to fit too many facts and statistics in or you'll end up missing the point. Best to have an introduction, a few choice pieces of information and statistics then a conclusion with your point of view of what this information means overall. If the worst comes to the worst you can use the time filler known as the coughing fit. Good luck and all that.

As Foxy says, stop fighting with each other.

On topic, I've had to do a fair few speeches/talks in the past and something that always goes down well is sharing a related story/experience to start it off. Tell a story about how you did something wrong and got caught, or something ... I dunno, it's your presentation.
