Since I don't know what your hobbies or interests are, my advice is to offer you a few suggestions to guide your thinking as to the choice of topics. In my experience, the best speech you can give is about a subject that: \n\na) you know very well, so that you will have some material to talk about for five minutes. Because this is a persuasive speech, you should think about at least three arguments that support your position on the subject. You may be able to come up with more than three but pick the three strongest ones and go with those. \n \nb) you feel passionately about, so that you will be persuasive. See a) above.  \n\nRemember, when you deliver your speech you become the expert on the subject. Your knowledge and passion about the subject are what will make you persuasive. \n\nSee if you can come up with a list of a few topics just by brainstorming about things that fulfill both criteria above. Then narrow it down to a subject that you feel you can write and talk about.\n   \nLastly, five minutes is not a very long time in terms of speeches, so you might want to practice your speech with a timer so that you can be sure to make it within the time limit. Practice also helps you memorize your speech so you won't need notes, in case you lose them.\n\nGood luck and have fun!

Here is a cute idea I am not sure if you're interested:\n\nPart of your presentation start with "le tour de France" Which introduces the history, foods, about the people etc\n\nAnd then make up a little brochure type deal discussing the geography food could also go here, sites and other maybe interesting history also maybe throw in a few interesting words you like or sentences\n\nfinish up with the language and population etc

Talk about something your are interested in.  Or something you could find out about and feel passionate about e.g. Why donating bone marrow is a good idea (Put Antony Nolan into google and you will find something.); Christians and Conservation (arocha.org); a place I would like to visit (just put in Cambridge or Kenya etc into Google and you will get lots of info.)

Education , Environment , National Unity , Patriotism , Family Planning, Female Foeticide , etc. are good topics for writing slogans !!!\nFor example, on Environment it can be " Each One, Plant One" !!!

What are you suposed to narrate?  Once you figure that out, you can probably find olots of examples.\nAre you looking for a topic?  WHy don't you choose, "storms"?  After all, this country has been hit hard by hurricanes and tornadoes so much this year, it should be easy to find loads of information and examples all over the web.\ngood luck!  If this doesn't help, add some information to your question;  or, ask your mom or dad.. or, older sibling, if you have one!

you should talk about something you like and you are good at (for example a hobby) or about an issue that really interests you. this way you won't run out of ideas and won't make embarrassing pauses.and try imagining the audience in underwear,it works :)good luck

Try these steps: \n\n1. Look around you and see if there's an object with interesting helpful, funny or valuable technical features. \n\nThese lists helped me figuring out ideas:\n\nhttp://www.speech-topics-help.com/demonstration-speech-topics.html\nhttp://www.speech-topics-help.com/expository-speech-topics.html\nhttp://www.speech-topics-help.com/visual-aid-speech-topics.html\n\n2. Show how the object works, demonstrate the steps, tell and show what you can do with it, how it is made and why you want have chosen it.\n\n3. And - to keep them awake - let them try the features themselves. React on their comments and questions!

Pick a topic that really interests you and is mentioned in the press but not constantly.  I would not pick the war in Iraq, for example.  Maybe I would write about U.N. policy towards Palestine or Yugoslavia instead, or the Somalian situation.  Research thoroughly and get quotes.  Get statistics and real life stories.  Develop a set of themes and general summary.  Then outline each paragraph with a main point and shape the sentences around that point.  Do not avoid descriptive, metaphorical language and sound political, emotional and yet scientifically accurate.\n\nI cannot stress enough how important it is to know your topic matter and to pick something you are interested in and learn from.  Years ago, I had to write an article on Pakistan and hated it.  It wasn't an interesting country at all and information on events there are inaccurate and underreported.  I had no say in the matter.  We had an impromptu 'U.N. conference' skit and day dedication in history class.

anything that really fires you up.  If it is interesting to you, the speech will be outstanding

The only way to pick a good subject is by knowing the audience the speech is meant for.\nIf you dont need to hold that speech and its just for theory then I would pick some urban myth and present the true facts, that works in most cases.

You could talk about immigration or the war in Iraq or raising minimum wage...those are the boring ones.\n\nIf you want to do something off the wall, I always recommend that people talk about blowing up the moon.  I wrote a 10 minute speech on supporting the destruction of the moon.  There's a lot of evidence to support it, and it's entertaining to research and read.
