Persuasive Speeches

Last week, everyone in LS2 were doing Persuasive Speech and i wrote a speech about 'How does Alcohol Affect us' that's why i wrote this speech was because many people died from drinking alcohol. When we were doing speech we need to have an eye contact to the audience, expression, hook your audience with persuasive language features and especially confidence. They are very important when your speaking to make others think. My Feedback was being a confident to speak with a small group and able to make a persuasive speech because i never done a persuasive speech before. I think i should improve my confidence to be able to speak to the whole class and add more strong words.

How Alcohol Affect us?

Magandang Buhay! My name is Eyaka and I am going to tell about ‘How Alcohol affects us’ because 600 or 1000 people died each year in New Zealand.

In the olden days, some countries allowed minors to drink alcohol but now, it is illegal for minors who drink alcohol because it can cause many problems and can do serious damage to their bodies. Drinking too much alcohol has damaging effects on the brain. It can kill brain cells which can have long-term effects on memory. This is because alcohol has receptors called gamma-aminobutyric acid which affects the way the brain works.

Drunk driving can cause accidents. Over 1000 people died from car accidents and some other people who got involved by the accidents got severely injured. Drunk driving can cause trouble. Imagine being drunk and driving with your family? Imagine if you crashed and you or a member of your family were severely injured. How would you feel? How would your family feel? We should think about ourselves and others lives because drunk and driving can cause problems for everyone on the roads.

This is why we should stop drinking alcohol because it can cause you in trouble and can also affect others. We should think about how others feel before we do something wrong. Thank you for listening to my speech!
