There are few gramatical errors --> "I know should never think of only myself" instead use something like " I know I shouldn't  think of only myself " or " I know I should think about others too." There is something missing in the essay. I am not sure what though. I think you need to use more "diffucult" words rather than simple ones. I really love your starting and your ending but the middle needs a little perfection. Right now your essay according to me is 7/10 which is great. But using more "difficult" words yet understandable would really make your essay stand out. I think you should also add why you can't be what you want to be and what's that proffesion that you want to be. Avoid using words such as "cool", they bring the quality of your essay down. And being nurse doesn't mean you don't have problems. Infact, nurses can get in lots of problems, such as people can sue you for stupid stuff. I volunteered in a hospital last summer and they wouldn't let us touch patients AT ALL. We had to call professionals because they could sue us saying that while helping them we caused a bruise or whatever and now they are in terrible pain and blah blah blah but back to your essay. "I’m a teenager; I should enjoy life and have fun. Isn’t I’m being too stubborn, too selfish to think like that?" make this statement more clear im not sure if i am understanding what you are saying but i get the idea.  "I know that it’s my responsibility not to take my studies for granted." It's not your responsibility. You are making it sound like studies is a job or something. Not exactly what your teachers want to hear. Use more like "I know that studies should not be taken for granted" or maybe " my studies are important and serious to me". "because if it wasn’t for them I won’t be able to grow like this." use "because if it wasn’t for them I would not have been the person i am today."  " I should be greatful to have a family who cares and love me." make it sound you are grateful so use "I am grateful to have a family who cares and loves me."

I am proud of you or anyone your age who is willing to learn about political processes, including speech writing, and making them.\n\nFirst you obviously need to put together an organized presentation. As far as writing one, what I do is to write out all my thoughts in as much order as they come out. then i sort as to which ones fit a category, arranging the categories in a logical \norder. Proofread & add any thoughts that come along. Keep proofreading & making changes until it feels like it flows. The more you do this, the easier & better it becomes.\n\nIf you also have to read it, What I do is to learn all I can about what I am talking about, & then (GULP) throw away the script. For me, this is the most comfortable way to give a speech. \n\nI do well at public speaking & am quite comfortable doing it as long as I stick with what I know. If I hit a snag while talking, I readily admit I am lost, have a "brain fart - (you better use softer language),  or "I don't know" These are perfectly acceptable answers. And it is enormously less stressful to be honest rather than to bluff your way through.\n\nA final note. Do the best you can, & let that be good enough. No one can ask for us to do or be better than our best. ( That could be part of your speech, if you want. It fits well)\n\nFrom the way you wrote your question, I think you deserve that award. It is not only well organized, but also grammatically correct, including spelling. Do check your capital letters - especiall the "I s". Good luck. You will do well.

You should make your speech more interesting like.. hard words in it, which you can understand. You should have a clear voice and not be afraid to say it, and you should make sure that it's right and understandable.

Hi,\nIt's important that you understand what you're talking about - this will give you confidence. Also don't try to rush through it, give yourself time to breathe. A lot of help can be found on the site below, both on interviews and speaking in public in general.

A lot of people are afraid of speaking in front of a group, you're not alone.  This is a good chance for you to get used to it in front of your classmates.  Remember they are as scared as you are when its their turn.\n\nStudy your presentation so you know it well and give it your best shot.  If you mess up, just smile, pick up where you left off and keep going.  You'll be a good example to everyone else who follows you.

Never fear! Speech writing is fun. Think about what you have to say. Make it something that comes from the heart. What are the issues that are important to you? To the university? And if you go to Amazon.com, you can look inside this book (How to Write and Give a Speech, Second Revised Edition: A Practical Guide For Executives, PR People, the Military, Fund-Raisers, Politicians, Educators, and Anyone Who Has to Make Every Word Count )

first of all be youself...don be scared what you are.Most ppl are scared of what they are and they tend to lie..and u kno what they say "a lie leads to another lie"..and soon they will find out.You must have some particular hobbies and likes and dislikes..highlight them\n\nYou must be having some dreams u aspire to become.If you really want to become what you want to become then start working on it from day 1.\n\nWith all sorts of experieces from your past life (that includes all the difficulties you been through) can ultimately reveal your real talent..with that you can realize your desire\n\nPS:umm this sorta like a speech but you can add points frm this to ur presentation

PRE-PLAN your speech.\nDecide which aspect(s) of character are most important. (Honesty, courage, responsibility, leadership, loyalty, duty, respect, attitude, perseverance, my personal favorite... integrity...?) Using the trait(s) you selected, come up with a thesis statement. Your speech should center around this idea. Brainstorm at least three to five specific examples to support your statement. These may include any of the following:\nexamples from history, literature, or current events\nthe information you are given on the test\nexamples from your own personal experience\nDecide on your three strongest examples. These should be the ones you can explain in the most specific detail. In general, examples from your personal experience are easier to write about, but they are weaker in the eyes of the reader.\n\nWRITE your speech.\nStart with an introduction. Your introduction should explain what you're going to talk about in your speech, but DON'T say something like, "This speech is about..." or, "I'm going to tell you about..." Assume your audience is smart enough to figure this out. Your introduction should include some kind of HOOK--something to catch the reader's attention. There are many types of hooks. Try a question, a quotation, a definition, a statistic, a single word, an action, a description, or an unusual statement. The goal is to get your audience interested and to get them thinking.\nNext is the body of your speech. This is where you take those three strongest examples you brainstormed during your planning. Start with one you can explain very clearly.\nUse transitions in each of these paragraphs. Develop these paragraphs thoroughly. Keep the writing focused. Don't ever lose sight of your thesis statement! Everything in a paragraph should be connected, and it should all make sense together.\nGive lots of details. Poor example: "Integrity is a good quality for a person to have because it makes you a good person." Good example: "Integrity is a vital quality which allows a person to make decisions based on his or her understanding of what is 'right' and what is 'wrong.'" Poor example: "Martin Luther King, Jr., had lots of integrity because he was a good guy." Good example: "Martin Luther King, Jr., is a paradigm of integrity because he understood the importance of equality. He took it so seriously that he fought for equality, traveling around the country and speaking to innumerable people."\nUse strong words. Try to use words that will not make you sound intelligent, not supercilious.\nWrap up your speech with a competent conclusion. Watch out for these common mistakes:\nDON'T say the exact same thing you've said already.\nDON'T say something like, "Now you know about..." or, "I have just told you about..." And NEVER say "I hope you enjoyed listening to my speech!"\nUse a simple form in your conclusion. Restate your main thesis (in different words). You may want to generalize a little bit. Look for a common theme in all your examples which you can apply. You can end with another hook, if it seems appropriate.\nRemember, your conclusion is the LAST thing your audience will hear. It doesn't have to be pure genius, but it should leave a good last impression.\n\nREVIEW your speech.\nMake sure it makes sense. Check for grammatical errors; in particular, watch for sentence fragments and run-on sentences. Have a friend, family member, or teacher read it. Practice it several times by yourself and in front of a few people. Get some good feedback.\n\nGood luck! Feel free to contact me with specific questions.

clearly, you have to speak well. No horible accents or lips or anything. Also, you cant be shy.Public speaking is not for the faint of hear.\nLastly, it helps if you a) loveable or b) hot.

It is very difficult to decipher what you are trying to say.  It would be better if you sat sown and wrote (for yourself) what you are attempting to do.  Once you have this completed, get others to read it to see if they can easily understand it.  Until you do this, it is unlikely that you will make much progress.

in order to make a nice speech of course - first, you should pick up a very interesting topic to talk about.. topic tht would call on your audiences' attention.\n\npractice your script and make sure you make good pronunciation of words so that your listeners would understand you.

The way I do this is to be convinced about what I am going to say.  I will rehearse the thing I am saying if I have to do a report; that means that I practice it until it becomes a part of me.\n\nIf I am just called to speak spontaneously, I think more about my ideas and getting the class to understand them than about me. \n\nI also think that I do not care what other people think of me; what is important is what I think of me.  Most people think everyone else is better anyway and so they probably are impressed instead of critical.

start your speech with a personal story
39055
Just speak from your heart. Try to think of a main point to make, and then some supporting points. Start with something to get their attention, then end with a summary of what you spoke about. \n\nPractice in front of mirror a few times, don't memorize word for word, just memorize an outline.\n\nMake eye contact with a few people around the room.\n\nTry to avoid saying um...\n\nYou'll do great!

well, i'm kind of a perfectionist when it comes to things like this...i make sure know my material, and have all my note cards in order. then, about a 1/2 - an hour beforehand i start doing deep breathing and stretching...it really works. practice your speech while looking in a mirror so you can see your facial expressions...practice reciting it to friends/family and get their feedback. while you're giving your speech, focus on ppl in the audience you know, and look at them from time-to-time. if you don't have to stand at a podium, move around a bit as you give your speech. try not to say "um" a lot...it makes it sound as if you don't know your material. try to smile at specific points in your speech material...if it's appropriate. that will make you look comfortable to your audience. i'm sure you will do a great job!! best of luck.

Be confident that being yourself is the best way to create a good impression. Don't put on an act - show some honesty and integrity about who you are.
