DECLAMATION SPEECH

Everybody calls me young, beautiful, wonderful. Am I? Look at my hair, my lips, my red rosy
cheeks and a pair of blinkering eyes.

I remember, somebody says that I look like my mother that I look like my mother. But that when
she was young.

Now, I am much lovelier than she is. Im a mortal Venus. Oops! What time is it? I must get ready
for the party!

Beep-beep!A-huh! Here they are! Yes, Im coming!

"Child, are you still there?"

"Hmp! Thats my mama"

"Child, are you still there? Will you please get me a glass of cold water?"

"Mama, Im in a hurry!"

"Please child, try to get me a glass of cold water."

"Mama, please, try to get it on your own."

"Please child, try to get me a glass of cold water!"

At the party, I danced and danced the whole night. You see, I cant leave the party at once. I
have to dance with everybody who proposed to me.

At last, the party is over. Im very tired. Very, very tired. So, I went home to tell mama what
happened.

"Mama, Im home! Its very quiet. "Mama, Im home!" Nobody answers. Where is she? I look for
her in the sala, but shes not there. Where is she? A-huh! In the kitchen!

I saw my mama, lying down on the floor, dead. With a glass on her hand. I remember, she tried
to get it.
Oh, God, just for the glass of cold water! Mama! Mama! Oh, Mama!

DECLAMATION SPEECH

"AM I TO BE BLAMED?"

They're chasing me, they're chasing, no they must not catch me, I have
enough moneynow, yes enough for my starving mother and
brothers.Please let me go, let me go home before you imprisoned me. Very
well, officers? take meto your headquarters. Good morning captain! no
captain, you are mistaken, I was once agood girl, just like the rest of
you here. Just like any of your daughters. But time was,when I was reared
in slums. But we lived honestly, we lived honestly in life. My, father,mother,
brothers, sisters and I. But then, poverty enters the portals of our home.
Myfather became jobless, my mother got ill. The small savings that my
mother had kept for our expenses were spent. All for our daily needs and
her needed medicine.One night, my father went out, telling us that he
would come back in a few minutes with plenty of foods and money, but that
was the last time I saw him. He went with another woman. If only I could lay
my hands on his neck I would wring it without pain until he breaths no
more. If you were in my place, you'll do it, won't you Captain? What?
youwon't still believe in me?. Come and I'll show you a dilapidated shanty
by a railroad.Mother, mother I'm home, mother? mother?!. There Captain,
see my dead mother.Captain? there are tears in your eyes? now pack this
stolen money and return it to theowner. What good would this do to my
mother now? she's already gone! Do you hear me? she's already gone. Am
I to be blamed for the things I have done?

READ SPEECH = GRADUATION SPEECH

I think Graduation day is a bit like walking a gangplank. You are leaving behind the safety and
security of college for the uncertainty and adventure of the rest of your life. Some of you will return to
terra firma and resume your studies. The rest of you will pause on that gangplank. Poised over the
water below you have no idea what the future will hold, what people you will meet and what will
happen to your career.

The ship you board may be a luxurious liner or a working vessel. It may bring you around the coast
or across the world. You may face fierce storms or have plain sailing and a following wind. You may
choose your particular destination or you may just go where the tide brings you. On that ship called
life you will find new friends. Some will share your hopes. Others may have their own agenda. Each
one will influence you in a different way.
Today I say to you try to be choosy about those friends. It is tempting to befriend those who you feel
will help you in your career and of course there is no harm in that. It is good to be willing to keep
learning from those who have gone ahead of you. Don't, however, close your mind to what others
may bring to your life to enrich it. That penniless loafer may seem like a good for nothing but be, in
reality, a brilliant musician. The plodder may not seem to have much to offer but perhaps he or she
will get to the shore before you do. So don't judge others harshly but do try to choose wisely people
who will be good friends to you over the years. Life can be hard and we all need good friends.
Speaking of friends you are leaving some behind today. Over the past few years they have shared
your workload, your ambitions and your coffee breaks not to mention your socialising. It is hard to
part with them and whatever about the global village the world can be a big place and it's easy to
lose touch. That is why I am suggesting to you that you make concrete arrangements to stay in
touch by email or phone. Whatever about the new friends you make there is something special
about those who shared your college life and those long talks deep into the night.

Some of you will rush aboard your ship. Others may be more hesitant. Some of you will have plenty
of baggage to bring, others will travel lightly. One thing you will all bring is your memories of your
growing years and of your families. Today, those who have encouraged you all those years are
happy to see you graduate. I know you will agree with me that they are owed a huge dept of
gratitude for their support and love. Obviously, judging by your results, you studied hard but you also
had help from your tutors and professors. It's worth mentioning too that a college like this is made up
of many different components and many different people. Think, for instance, of the library staff, the
canteen staff and those who keep the grounds in such immaculate order. There were many people
involved in your graduation and it will be a sign of your maturity that you thank them for their efforts
on your behalf. Gratitude to and graciousness towards others will always stand to you in life. We
always remember the person who speaks kindly of us so always remember to speak kindly of others
too.
Tonight you will be celebrating and quite rightly so. You deserve to have a night on the town.
Whether or not your tutors are also celebrating I leave open to you to guess. When tomorrow comes,
but obviously not too early in the morning, you can pack for that all important journey. Bring with you
the knowledge you have but bring also an open mind. It's great to have a route planned but be
willing to travel the bye ways and to see what they have to offer too. Make a decision that you are
going to make a difference in the world, even if it is in one small corner of it. Work hard but do get
your priorities right. Always have time for your families and friends. Take time to enjoy the beauties
of nature and to care for them because without water and air our planet, and you, cannot survive.
Finally, enjoy the trip. Go on your journey armed with enthusiasm and curiosity. Open your hearts to
your fellow passengers and they will surely open theirs to you. I wish you well on your journey and
as they say when they launch a ship, "May God bless all who sail in her."
Here's to you all as you graduate
You've studied and have your degrees
The world is your oyster and soon you will work
At home or perhaps overseas.
You're saying goodbye to tutors and friends
And tonight you will party in style
And drink champagne and eat cavier
And sing and dance for a while.
May your ship sail smoothly over the blue
And may faraway places they welcome you
May the sun shine on you as you go on your way
And so as you leave here Bon Voyage I say
May your lives be filled with loving and laughter
And may you find happiness in your ever after.

AWARD SPEECH
It is, it is said, easy to sit up and take notice. What is difficult is standing up and taking action. Today
we are celebrating the fact that someone stood up and took that action. Today we are celebrating
enthusiasm, commitment and sheer hard work.
Enthusiasm is often neglected as a force. Yet without it there would be few achievements.
Enthusiasm, you see, sets fire to the imagination. It asks "What if?" and "If I did?" and the results
depend on the answer to those questions.
Today then we are honouring those who asked those questions and committed themselves to
finding the answers. We are honouring those who worked late into the evening and early in the
morning. We are about to present awards to the winners who wouldn't take "No" for an answer.
They knew, you see, that there were answers to be found. They understood that in the long and
arduous research trail often there were often misleading side turns and unexpected obstacles. They
discovered that some of the answers they got were not to the questions they actually asked. There
were times of frustration and misunderstanding. Like detectives they have painstakingly followed
clues that sometimes led nowhere.
Let us be under no misapprehension about this. They may have worked alone or in groups but they
had, I am sure they will agree, the support and encouragement of family and friends. Without that
back-up they could not continue to do what they have done. They had also the example of many
others who, through the years, have worked in their fields and who have given them enlightenment
and inspiration.
Today though they can celebrate because they have had results, they have made finds; they have
expanded data and enriched our knowledge. (If applicable) Today we thank our sponsors for their
encouragement and support. They have given these awards because they know that your work
brings the future closer for all of us. They have faith in what you are doing and in what they hope you
will continue to do)
Today you have turned disappointment into success. Through your efforts you have found some of
the answers you needed. In the world of science it will always be impossible to say that you have all
the answers of course but you, I know, will continue to seek solutions in the years to come.
Finally, I would like you to take as your motto the words of Pearl S. Buick who said, "All things are
possible until they are proved impossible and even the impossible may only be so as of now."
(If applicable) I would now ask (Name) to present our winners with their prizes.
It wasn't Lady Luck who smiled
On you and brought you here
Instead it was your hard work
So today we clap and cheer
Because you've done it the hard way
You've worked both day and night
Found answers to your questions
And got your sums all right.
Today's your day in the sun
We're proud of you and what you've done
We think that you deserve to be
A winner and we'll let it be
Reported far and wide that you
Searched, researched through and through.

Memorized Speech



A very good evening to all of you and a warm welcome as we celebrate the fifth anniversary of Trends,
our lifestyle magazine.

It is an exceptional night today. Five years ago Gary and I started this magazine in the garage of a
friend's house, because frankly that was all we could afford as an office. It is thanks to all the special
people who joined us here today that we are able to celebrate five years of not just running this
magazine but being successful at it. To all those people who could not join us here today, we miss
you.

Tonight though, is about enjoying ourselves. Not looking at tomorrow but celebrating the present so
go ahead and let your hair down. Have a magical night! You have all worked so hard for it. Surround
yourselves with the happiness you deserve and thank you for making this possible.

Memorize Speech


Good evening everyone, and let me begin by telling all of you how great it is to see that so many of
you took out time from your busy schedule to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of the Wanderlust,
our travel magazine. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for being here.

We do not need to tell you how important this night is for us. A little more than fifteen years ago, we
were sitting at our regular jobs discussing how we saw our future, when we came up with the idea of
joining our two hobbies, traveling and writing. Linda and I, never imagined that our tiny dream would
take the shape it has since then. Our spare room served as the office, because that was all our
finances permitted for. There were many special people who joined us in our endeavor and made it
possible to create the name that we have today. To all those people and those who joined us in our
journey, a big thank you. Without you we would never be here.

While nostalgia and pride is making me slightly emotional, let us not forget that tonight is about
happiness and looking to the future. One that is bright and everything that we have hoped for. Let
your hair down and enjoy the rewards of your hard work and passion. Thank you for making this a
dream come true.
