Speeches

Today we went in our thinking groups and read out our speeches. We all read our speeches while John was timing us. Our speech had to be between 2 mins 30 sec and 3 mins. The people in my thinking group were Silivia, Jane, Victoria, and John. After each speech was said, we had a rubric to fill in about each persons speech. Here is my speech I read.

1. Talofa, o lo’u igoa o Charlize.

Think about something that has really inspired you? It might have been something you watched, or something you read. Well, you want to know what you should read, scriptures. One thing my group said I needed to focus on was having a clear voice

2) You’ve probably heard of this before. But  if you’ve read them or not, religious or not, it doesn’t matter. Even  just trying to read at least 1, in your whole life, is something you need. And trust me, you need to. All the scriptures in the bible are full of great advice, stories, tips, and inspiration. Maybe reading your own book from your culture would be better.  Scriptures to most people, is the most important thing in their life. While to others, it is just another book.

3)      But did you know the Bible is one of the most best selling book in the world? One of the possible reasons why is because it has helped loads of people around the world with their problems and lives, especially non believers.  I have read a short story about a person who lived inside a rough neighborhood in Miami. He had a big fear of dying because he didn’t want to stop existing in this world, and that people would forget about him.

4)   A  problem that I found out is that even people that go to church don’t read the bible a lot of the time.  Even though It wouldn’t seem like a big problem, it is definitely not a small problem. Can you imagine that? I find this very disappointing. But in my point of view, I think this can change. At the same time I know that not everyone in the world can get access to the bible, for different reasons. But I think if everyone could take some time to have a look inside the bible, you might just find what you’re looking for. He was invited to a few churches through friends and family, but their beliefs didn’t stick with him. But when he finally discovered scriptures, and started studying on it. Later as he got older, he wasn’t scared anymore. Can you see how the scriptures changed his perspective on death?

5)   No, this is not a huge world crisis, but I just think reading a scripture could really be helpful in everybody’s  life. I am not trying to make this book more popular, but I just want to show that this book is very special, motivational, and truthful book.  Would you read a scripture?
