    World view
    Tell a story (headline of speech)
    Bigger than the moment
    Keep it real (authentic)
    (Fact and things that people know)
    Tell jokes also (if possible) (self depricating joke)
    Know your audience
    Best way to start - start writing constantly.
    Read widely.
    Take history courses
    History economy philosophy

    What's funny is JFK said "Ich bin ein Berliner" and this actually directly translates to "I am a jelly donut." I believe the proper way to say it would've been "Ich bin Berliner."
    Everyone obviously understood what he meant though and it wasn't a big deal, but I just think it's a pretty funny random fact.

      Berliner means either a jelly donut or (more likely) a person from Berlin, so the word with its meaning is stretchable.

    Hello! I am a teenager and just got in a speech contest. I'm such a good speaker with a lot of good written speeches but the problem is that my fellow teenage mates doesn't listen to my message and would just mock me. how could I write a speech that would give me their ears and be inspired by it?

    • @leahschuhart9285
      @leahschuhart9285 4 года назад +38

      The number one thing is to remember who you are speaking to and play to what they want to hear. Teens want you to be on a level that they understand, use simple vocabulary, or explain what you say if you don't. Also try using a pun or joke to warm them up on your topic. Relate to them and they will listen

      Or using them to manipulate people to despise other people who fight for their rights.
      And as long as you don't care that what Trump says is horrifically aimed at inspiring hatred and confused antagonism toward other groups,
      or that he is claiming to care about others while at the same time has spent his entire life never taking any unselfish action for others, only seeking gain by deceiving, taking from other people, and exaggerating himself.

    While I’m finding inspiration to record
    Plus practice skateboard for a competition
    I’m not gonna go for one
    I want a team manager from Boston
    And I want a flash drive of Kingston
    From thousand to none
    I gain exhaust and frustration
    I am going to the petrol station
    I want to visit the convenient store once
    Both of us need more attention
    Waiting from moon to the sun
    I will wear the necklace made from diamond
    Both of us will take part in the marathon
    Dusk until dawn
    All the buildings are warned
    For the earthquake and tornado
    Look at those district pole
    All the collapse make us psycho
    There’s a dough in the fridge
    This is the lunch to eat
    Because we could not go out of this building
    This must be cringe
    Can we use the wifi and GPS grid
    On the computer and phone
    That’s the cat’s moan
    She was hungry and need the food too
    I need a screw to open the broken shelf
    I need your help
    I can’t do it by myself
    There’s a cat canned food on the shelf
    Thank god how better I felt
    That means we must be together
    We can’t split
    You love to knit
    You are sweet
    Thread and pin are needed
    You want the new seat
    Our room is complete
    We need to fill more concrete
    Let’s do the guest greet
    Question: Can it be my speech?
