Persuasive Speeches

LI: To write a speech that persuades others to think the way you do. In the past 3 weeks we wrote a persuasive speeches, for the school competition. My speech was about why we should wear mufti to school. We did this by watching a video and trying to get how to write a persuasive speech. After a few weeks we had to practice our speech on Que cards. I was in a small group to say our speeches, and the rest of everyone had to say it to the whole class if they wanted to be in the school competition. When it was the day for the school competition  the students from LS2 that was presenting was Mele, Marieta, and Jack. Out of them was first place, second place, and third place. Third place was Marieta, Second place was Jack and first place was Mele. I was so happy for the speech competition.


Title: Why we should wear mufti to school.

Malo e lelei, My name is Miiana and I really don’t like wearing school uniform. I have many clothes stuffed in my drawers so why can’t I just wear mufti to school, instead of wasting $140 dollars that can be spent on food for families and friends, instead of getting uniform that gets ripped and wrecked in the middle of the year? 

First of all, I think that it’s good to wear mufti to school, because some students might not be able to afford school uniforms. And yes, another reason is because some students like to pick what they wear, as they have many choices to choose from. I believe that we should wear mufti because parents can afford those types of mufti clothes and spending $140 dollars are just too much for them, just to get uniform.

Some people think uniforms are better as kids might feel embarrassed because other kids wear branded clothes and they might not be able to afford them. I disagree because it's cheaper than my mum having to find $560 because there are four of us at this school, but most importantly I don’t like looking the same as my friends.

Finally, I think that we should wear mufti because uniforms get dirty quickly and not all of us can afford to have more than one uniform.
