I have to write a speech for my speech 101 class,?

Hi,\nI don't think an "after dinner" speech necessarily has to be funny.  I don't know the assignment, but in Speech 101, I assume that your teacher is just trying to help you learn how to be composed and to learn to speak in front of others.  So, what I'm saying is, I don't think it's so much about what you say as how you say it.\n\nWhat about something like, "I've very much enjoyed sharing this wonderful dinner with you.  You are some of my closest friends and I'm so glad that we could be together this evening..." etc.  \n\nIf it's more for a business dinner, then  you could do the same type of thing, "I would like to take this opportunity to say how grateful I am that we could be here tonight as colleagues and as friends.  I hope you have all had a wonderful evening, as I have..."\n\nI'm just writing really fast, but you get the idea.  You'll be fine :)  Take care...

what's the topic of your paper? whatever you do DONT start off the paper with "in this paper i am going to talk about..." use a quote, fact, funny statement, etc.

You could include in your essay at least a little respect for the language that you are writing in. For me it is about finding the best or most appropriate word to describe the circumstance without resorting to an expletive or taking the language into the gutter. You could start by rephrasing your request for help. A simple “please help me,” as I have shown a total disregard to my teacher asked me to write an article on respect as an atonement for it. In the end, it will be meaningless, if you ask someone else to do the work for you. You can only move forward as a human being if you learn to respect those who have done so much to educate you. From the person who cleans the classroom, to the head of the school or college you should treat all people with kindness and respect. It is for you to learn how to be the best human being that you can. One day you will be an adult and I hope that you will have tried to put this into practice or your world will be a very shallow place. This is only about two hundred words, but you know the reasons why you are to write the piece. I hope that you will undertake it in the right spirit.

Might I suggest a speech class? \n\nIf your writing is any indication of your public speaking skills, then you definitely need some help.\n\nGo to your local community college and enroll in a Speech 101 class. You might even learn some "openers" while you are improving your speaking skills!

Write your own speech!  If your teacher cares even the slightest bit, he or she will be able to tell you are plagerizing!!!\n\nI'm deeply sorry for my rash answer.  I aparently had no idea that someone could use a free speech to give them ideas for their own original speech.  I suppose my mind IS limited in this manner because I am an English major and have never taken a formal speech class.  Just please be very careful, because colleges are cracking down on plagerism.  Many of my classmates are very scared of getting caught even for things they don't do on purpose.  It's a very tricky line that is easy to cross, so be careful.\n\nAgain, I am sorry for assuming you were going to turn in the free speech.  I may have been taking out opinions on you that I have of other people who use those free paper web sites.  I don't know of any good sites for that purpose, but I'm sure typing in "free speech" in google would do the trick for you.  I'm sorry for offending you.  Thank you for your advice about biting open the possibly cancerous lump in my lip.  I hope you don't mind if I don't take that advice.\n\nGood luck on your speech.

1) Assess your audience\n2) Try to create 3 main points. Humans can remember things in 3s very easily\n3) Support your statements\n\nOH YEA, it helps to smile, and like the poster below me says, it doesnt hurt to tell a joke or life story related to the speech. give the audience something they can relate to.\n\nMost of all, practice, practice, practice.

What about it?  \n\nPick a point to your essay and write it.  Use what you've learned in class and away you go.  100 words is only like 10 sentences.  Not too hard.  Good luck to you.

Prepare your speech now, using an outline and practice practice practive. Use a mirror first and get used to seeing yourself in the mirror to critique yourself first. Then, find an audience---anyone, your dog, your family, your friend, even your plant for that matter. Maybe even set up a room similiar to the one you will be giving the speech using different items/people as your audience and practice eye contact ahead of time. The more you practice, the better prepared you will be. Just don't practice too much, or your presentation will appear just that and you want to look knowledgable, not rehearsed. \n\nGood luck.

Don't stress too much.  I've been to zillions of graduations and most of the speeches are copycat of each other.  They talk about how far they've come, what special memories they share, and how everything will be different in the future.\n\nIt's very difficult to write something new.  If you're trying to be creative, why not write a Top Ten List of some sort.  At least try to get a laugh so they won't zone out on you completely.\n\nEither way, make it short.  Don't rattle on forever.  They'll remember more of a one minute speech than a 10 minute speech.

1.  Decide the topics (make it something important to you that you care about if possible, something you strongly belive)\n2.  Research the topics\n3.  decide what you want to say\n4.  make an outline\n5.  add details to the outline\n6.  start practicing your speech\n7.  practice in front of other people and get feedback\n8.  improve your speech (more research may be needed)\n9.  breathe and relax

I think you should do your speech on something you know a little about and would like to know more. That why you are not only doing it because you have to but also because at least you will be learning more about something that interests you. :D
