The oral presentation

You will be giving a short (5 -10 minutes) speech, probably to a few other students and a teacher. You will do this at a workshop or a telephone conference.

Pick a subject that you feel strongly for or against. It may help you to do research to strengthen your arguments.

Introduce your subject to the listener, for example: I don't think marijuana should be legalized.

Give your reasons for your opinion and give examples to support them, for example: The use of marijuana may lead to further and heavier substance abuse. I read this information in a book by NN.

When you have given all your reasons, make a closing statement such as: I believe in a drug free society and I hope my arguments have affected you.
