text: this is lame and boring...but plllllllllllllllllllz help :d? i have to take speech for one of my classes and its not my thing at all...and i totally hate it...but anyways i have two speeches that i need to do coming up really soon and i dont know what topics i should do..so i need suggestions....  the first speech is an informative one..i have to inform my audience of something..  and the second one is a persuasive speech..i have to persuade my audience to see a certain side of an issue...  plz helllp me!! thank you !! hehe, speeches/oral presentations aren't my kind of thing either. first thing to remember is, not to blush. just imagine talking to some friends. things to remember to get you good marks (if there are any)  - eye contact (just stare to the back of the class) - loud, clear voice - no ums and ers. - no shifting from one leg to another - no bored voice/look  i remember when i had to give oral presentations. i tried pretending the whole class were my best friends, but it lasted about 2 minutes, i found myself sweating as if i'd ran 10 miles at the end.
