| School Parliament is back again, and i'm against this german child who gets in trouble everyday. I would like you guys to proof-read my speech, edit, critique it.Legend: ________= My name (----)= something that isn't in my speech but i'm telling you guys. ______________________________________________________ - Here it is:
Hi, my name is _____ (srry not telling u guys) and i'm running for Minister of Communication. The minister of Communication's job is to promote up-coming events, such as spirit days like hat or bubblegum day, book fairs, and school dances.
Nowadays, when people think of speeches the first word that pops into their mind is boring. Well, that's because most of the time speeches ARE boring. People running will just get up there, say their speech, and sit down. After that, nobody will remember anything when the voting arrives.
Well, I say vote for me. "Why?", you may ask? Because I believe I am right for this job. I'm responsible, organized, open-minded, creative, and dedicated. I will remind you about the events early-on, and I'll try to spruce up the announcements with every chance I get.
So when the time comes to vote, vote for ______, vote for me.

| Very nice. I think it should do well, you're relating to the people and getting your point across without boring them.
I just wanna say your best chance to win is name recognition. Get people to know your name and who you are. Have a pleasant attitude and show people you care. If you can make posters DO IT!
Best of luck to you, just keep wanting it and imagining you get the position o3o | |

| It's good (: Maybe to help people connect with you, you should hand out some things. You could hand out cookies or bracelets. Then they'd have another reason to vote for you. | |

| You're right Deepest~Blue. The first thing that comes to mind about hearing a speech is... boredom... But when I read your speech, I was appealed! If I had to vote between you and the boy, I would obviously vote for you, that's how amazing your speech was! (^_-) To me, there was nothing that I found that needed to change. | |

| Thanks I love your critiques! My school is fairly small, so I have around 27 posters around the school. Everybody pretty much knows me because they've seen me around the school so much. Just wish me luck.. I hope I win to that German child, if I don't it will be a MAJOR embarrassment. I might cry if I lose.]
Kaito: Thank you Thank you, you're too kind.. I just really want to win, everybody likes "him" because he's a comedian at the school, and the boredom thing was me trying to be funny. But I hope my speech is good enough for the win.

| It is a very nice speech! ^^ I don't think there's anything you should add since you get your point across well while relating to the audience. Just remember to speak loudly and clearly, and to make eye contact with many people in the audience. I hope you win. | |

| Thank you so much! That means a lot coming from you S! I think I need to add some humor or something to it.. but I think it might make me a winner, I hope I win too.
P.S. Maybe you can give me some humor to put in it?? Not very good at that. (May i have your name/nickname instead of something that's one letter?)
EDIT: The elections are tomorrow, second period. We have to say our speeches, then the principal will give them 5 minutes to think and the voting will commence. SO NERVOUS. Oh, and a whole bunch of the girls that paid for it (including me) are getting HIV vaccines tomorrow morning (Thursday).

Your speech obviously has the better lead. If everyone votes for a comedian that gets in trouble a lot, the teachers will not like a person who likes to fool around (does he fool around a lot?). That means that THAT person is not right for the job. A person who's in the School Parliament should be able to handle things responsibly, can't make distractions, and must be trustworthy. Deepest~Blue, I know you're going to win. You can do it, I know you can. I'll be rooting for you! | |

| I've done some editing on your writing! The words in red are the edits/revisions, and the words in bold are just tips to improve your writing or to help you fix this piece. - Spoiler:
Hi, my name is _____ (srry not telling u guys) and I'm running for the position of Minister of Communication [[it sounds more complete that way ]]. The minister of Communication's job is to promote up-coming events, such as spirit days . like For instance: hat day, bubblegum day, book fairs, and school dances. I've italicized the following paragraph because it seems unnecessary... Maybe instead write about why you chose to run for this position? This just sounds like you're droning on too much: Nowadays, when people think of speeches the first word that pops into their mind is boring. Well, that's because most of the time speeches ARE boring. People running will just get up there, say their speech, and sit down. After that, nobody will remember anything when the voting arrives.Well, I say [[try using a more descriptive word as a substitute, such as "recommend"]] vote for me. "Why?", you may ask? Because I believe I am right for this job. I'm responsible, organized, open-minded, creative, and dedicated. I will remind you about the events early-on, and I'll try to spruce up the announcements with every chance I get. << I like this paragraph! Good information for your voters.So when the time comes to vote, vote for ______, vote for me. remember to vote for me, ______! [[remember to keep your sentences clear and as concise as possible!]]
and as for humor, i'm not sure. sorry i can't help you with that! but if you can't find any humor to add in, at least make sure you speak clearly with expression, so you can captivate your audience's attention! | |

I hope this all goes well. I'm german.. and filipino.. MIXED RACE FOR THE WIN! | |

| I think it would be awesome if you included a little more about how you would improve stuff ( For example, I will listen any opinions you would have on how I should improve. or, if possible, I will create a group of anyone in the school who would like to help promote the events. and things like that..) | |

Very nice, however, In the first paragraph you say "... such as spirit days for instance...", the "for instance" is redundant when you say "such as" in the beginning. You have to remove one or the other to keep everything smooth o3o Also you say you are running for minister of communication. Where are you running and why are you running for this guy? See that's what it sounds like instead you will want to you are running for the position of minister of communication :3 | |
