speech

         Can I get a cell phone? You don't need a cell phone. But everyone else has one. If you have ever asked your parents for a cell phone the conversation might have gone a little bit like this. A more convincing arguement might have gone like this.
         Well first off mom and dad, my social life would be off the charts. I don't think you understand how important facebook is, what if I need to write a status well I am away from my computer,what if someone posts a funny picture, I will have to wait until I get home, by that time the picture will be old so theres no point in liking it. What about instagram, what if I'm in the bathroom and I have perfect lighting for a picture, how will I be able to snap that photo without a phone. How about twitter, say I'm walking down the street and inspiration hits me, my tweet will read "Ms.Lees is so awesome #bestteacher", but I can't tweet it right away because I don't have a phone, now I have to wait until I get home, and I will probably end up forgeting about it before. This a big problem.
          Another big part to having a phone would be the apps and music. Unless you have been  living under a rock for the past 4 years you would know that apps are games that you are going to have to have if you have a cell phone, I'm going to assume that you have heard of angry birds, this is just one of the thousands of great games in the appstore. Also, how else am I supposed to watch my favourite tv shows when I am not at home, same with movies, what if I am sitting in class really bored, then a light goes on in my head. Hey why am I just sitting here doing nothing when I oculd be watching a movie, so I plug in my headphones sit back and watch Ted. I can't think of a better way to spend double block english.
           Finally, there are the emergencies, like calling 911, but the only real emergency that you would need to call 911 for would be if someone stole your phone and how are you supposed to call 911 without your phone. Another reason that you need a phone is so that your parents can get a hold of you no matter where you are, so that they can call and ask you where you are and where your going and also to see how your day at school was. You would also need a phone in order to call the coast guard, what if you are on a boat and all of a sudden a shark starts to attack it, how are you going to get out of that mess without calling the coastguard to come and save you.
           This guide should help convince your parents into buying you a cell phone. Remember get it ASAP, because you never know when a good tweet will come to mind or you just feel like playing a good old game of angry birds.

  1. i really like your use of humour and transitions in the speech. You should try to open your vocabulary a bit and use new words. This was a great speech overall and keep it up!

  2. I love your use of analogy and ways of switching between topics in an orderly fashion . Try entering the portal of imagination more often .

  3. Well done Eric! I really liked your speech and it was interesting. Although, you have some grammar mistakes and you might want to use periods more often. For example, "What about instagram, what if I'm in the bathroom and I have perfect lighting for a picture, how will I be able to snap that photo without a phone. How about twitter, say I'm walking down the street and inspiration hits me, my tweet will read "Ms.Lees is so awesome #bestteacher", but I can't tweet it right away because I don't have a phone, now I have to wait until I get home, and I will probably end up forgeting about it before. This a big problem." That is a really long sentence, more like a paragraph. Anyways, there are spelling mistakes also. Copy your speech in word and you'll figure out the mistakes. Overall, very good.
