My Speech

My speech topic is love. I chose this topic because I wanted people to show some more love. 

When I presented my speech I felt good. What I did well was my volume. I could have been a bit faster.

Here is my speech:

Have you ever wondered why love is important? l have. Love can be many things. You can love a toy, a person, your family or even an animal. Love keeps you company and makes you happy. I believe love is the most important force in the universe.

I believe that love is important because if you didn’t have love you would be lonely. You would have no friends and no one would love you. If your family loves you that makes you feel happy and nice.

I believe that love is important because if you didn’t have love kids would grow up mean and nasty. Why you ask? Because maybe they would not have their parents home often to play with or to have fun with. If parents don’t spend time with their kids they won’t feel loved.

My final reason why love is important is that without love there would be no doctors, no police or firefighters. The world would fall into chaos because they would not care about anyone but themselves and would not help to save other people’s lives. These special people must love others to do their job everyday.

I know that love is the most important force on earth. Everyday people are getting greedier and greedier. Why you ask? Well it’s simple they think that money will buy them happiness so show some love please!!!
