Speech Writing

For the last two weeks we have been working on writing speeches.
My topic was rubbish.
We had to present them in front of our class.
I think I done well with my speech because I knew lots about my topic.

Here is my speech.

Have you thought that people have been leaving rubbish  around on earth? I have! Rubbish is anything that people throw away that isn’t important. When you see rubbish rolling on the ground then pick it up and put it in the bin because it is bad four our environment.

Firstly rubbish is bad for oceans animals. If sea animals like dolphins or fish eat the rubbish, like plastic bags, they will get sick and they might die.  So pick up any rubbish you see so it doesn’t blow into the sea and be good kiwis.

Next, rubbish is very bad for the farm animals.  Cows can mistake rubbish for food and eat it. They can choke on it or die. Farmers get mad when they see rubbish on their farm and that their animals are dying.

Finally you shouldn’t throw rubbish out your window  because it makes our environment looks messy.  On windy days rubbish swirls around and rolls  into the drains. This will eventually end up in our rivers and oceans. So please don’t throw your rubbish out the window put it in the rubbish bin.

So if you see rubbish on the side of the road, pick it up and put it in the rubbish bin. If everybody did this everyday for the whole year and were good all the time we would save our animals and our environment. That’s why we need to pick up the rubbish and be good kiwis and did you Know that  the animals will eat the rubbish and they will get sick and might dic and you don ‘t    hrit our animals  and you don ‘t want the anls do you. Please don‘t throw rubbish out of your window and be nice to the animals  and save the world. By Khloe White
