I Need Help Getting a Speech Started…?
Question by Poetgrl: I need help getting a speech started…?
I am writing an intro speech for my class about alcoholisim. I only have to introduce the subject for 1-2 min’s and make sure that I have an attention grabber. I was thinking about using some kind of crazy statistic like “14 million americans suffer from alcoholism…” as my attention grabber but I can’t think of anything else after that. Any suggestions????

Never write a speech! Just get up there and start talking! This is where the education system has failed, because the system is ruled by intellectuals instead of people with sense!
Don’t be like them and don’t go through life planning speeches and trying to figure out what you’re going to say.
Look… if you write a speech, there’s point whatseover in speaking it. You should SIMPLY BE MORE HONEST and pass it out in print to people. That is the purpose for writing, but the purpose for speaking is expressing yourself from your heart.
Mostly insincere people (like the majority of the politicians) write out speeches. It’s actually rather dishonest, in my opinion. I think that if it’s going to be done, then the speaker should hold the paper with his speech high in the air, so that everyone can see that he’s reading, for certain.
Again, they’re not going to teach you that in school, because they don’t have a clue.
