Raining_again Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramar Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 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.

Fields Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 If you're doing English GCSE, learning to spell 'speech' would be a good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 If you're doing English GCSE, learning to spell 'speech' would be a good start. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raining_again Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 It's a talk, not a spelling contest - no spelling is necessary. It always helps to read the thread before you let you set your keyboard to work. very true 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.

They don't teach spelling and grammar anymore?No wonder they say GCSEs are getting easier... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!

|Laguna| Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arragaun Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyellowbloke Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
