My Speech

My speech topic is kittens.

I chose this topic because I have a cat at home.

When I presented my speech I felt nervous.

What I did well was volume.

What I could have done better was eye contact.

Here is my speech.

Have you ever wondered why kittens are so special? 

A kitten is a fluffy fur ball with four paws, two eyes, two small ears and a long curly tail. I believe kittens are really special... now I will tell you my reasons why.

Firstly kittens are so special because they are sweet and kittens give you lots of nose 

kisses and lots of love. 

Secondly kittens keep you comfortable and snuggle with you. When you are on the comfy sofa the kitten will come along and snuggle with you.

 Finally kittens catch mice and rats around you pounce on them and your  home will be rat and mice free.They will eat them just like cats do.

That’s why I believe that kittens are so special.
