I'm preparing for a 3 minute speech on for a english accent contest, I'm not worried about my accent, it's pure American, but I am having a lot of trouble coming up with the speech.

Here is what I have so far:
(Help with title)

Most children think it's childish to have a favourite superhero to admire, even I think so, but deep down I belive that everyone has a hero that they admire and worship.
For me my favourite hero is the great scientist Albert Einstein.
Einstinen was and still is regarded as the genius in the history of science, so what was his secret? Lots of people have asked this question and only came up with very unsatisfying answers. Even if we did know his technique we wouldn't become Einestines.
Einstine's knowleadge of human realitivity has been a legend throught the history of mankind. For example: when you sit with a nice girl for two hours it feels like two minutes, when you sit on a hot stove for two minutes it feels like two hours. Indeed his imaginenation is enough surpass even the brightest mind of children.
I belive this is Eintine's secret, like he said himself: the only secret of creativity is knowing how to hide the source. A scientist who dares to share his secrets is turly a scientist that really deserved his reputation.
Just to remind everyone, questioning and curiosity is the key to knowleadge and power.

I know, it's crap, thats why I'm asking for help, please give a hand, feel free to change words, correct spelling, change sentences or even write a new story, any help would be appreaciated.

-Thanks

Dunno about the story but moving around some, maybe use pictures (if the story calls for it), make subtle pauses & speak loud & slowly. 3 minutes isn't a very long time. Especially if you go out of your way to make the time run out :E We should to do this a lot (I hate it to no end) in our language courses in school (slightly worse to do it in English when that's not my primary language...) ;(
 
What is an English Accent contest? When you try to sound English?

EDIT: And is there any reason why you've spelt Einstein about 5 different ways?
 
Yeah I was wondering what the English accent had to do with things. Is it a new American Education policy that English class speak in English accents. Brilliant :)

Your work started out fine but it deteriorated towards the end. Read through it aloud yourself and you'll notice the mistakes instantly.

Also whats "human relativity"? Are you sure its not just general relativity?
 
You should make your speech on "Why an animal cracker is not actually a cracker, but a cookie"

"Why Jaffa cakes are Cakes and not Biscuits. And thus, not subject to the same tax laws."
 
Do an informational speech on how much wood a wood chuck could chuck if a wood chuck could infact chuck wood. Oh and throw in something about the wood chuck being your hero to, you know, give it relevance.

Seriously though, just put some basic filler in there. More history of Einstein would be a good example.

Read it out to yourself while timeing it.
 
does the speech have to be 3 minutes?

because if it does, you need to write a little more :D.

other than that its good. (change turly too truly);)

I wouldn't be the best person to ask, for my technical speech class I had to give a presentation on processors and it had to be 8 minutes long and I spoke for 15. I don't practice speeches because I don't need to and I'm to lazy to time myself. The best thing to do would to be write up a paper and read it out timing yourself. If it's too long take out some information, if it's too short just add some.

Well, a few of us asked for more details and you just ignored them. Maybe if you didn't, you would have had more support.

Although Hitler was a bad man, he was an amazing speaker. You probably could pick something up.

There has been a sharp decline in intelligence in recent posts and threads as the title states, and it is really ruining the HL2.net experience. Misspellings, improper grammar, incorrect or no punctuation, and even just not thinking, or replying to posts that were dead 5 months ago have been major annoyances recently. I am not going to give out any names, but I just want to say the following:

3) If you cannot spell, run through it with a spell checker.


And it won't last 3 minutes ;)
 
What is your speech about? I missed the point. Are you trying to say we all need a rolemodel to look up to so we can strive for the best and stay determined?
