Hello, I have a public speaking competition that is happening next month. I need to write a speech under 3 minutes which will get me through 3 rounds. I will be competing against my year level (year 6) and I do not know what to write about. Please write down a persuasive topic, and what arguments I could use.

Thank you!​

Hello,

For your upcoming public speaking competition you could talk about the death penalty, or standardized testing. There are many ways to expand these topics.

Here are some points you could use for standardized tests:

For:
- placement in classes for the next year

Against:
- causes lots of stress for students

These are just some arguments you could talk about. Of course you can expand and provide more reasons. I recommend you to visit a site called
procon.org for they have lots of great topics, with quotes, and reasons, on many different controversial topics to argue about!

Have a great day,
