Question

Answer 1

if you need help to write your speech you are not qualified

Answer 2

Yes, if you can't write a speech yourself than you might not be well qualified. But your mind just might be stuck or whatever. Basically say what you're going to do to improve the school. I'm sure people complain about stuff in your school, so find out what you could actually change and promise to change it. Then you'd have to change it...that is if you're not a dirty, dirty politician. But if you're thinking about how to get it started, don't do the whole "I'd make a good class president because...." That's just boring as heck. Make it interesting. If you're charismatic enough then it should be fairly easy. Just make sure you seem confident and you know what you're talking about. Be convincing and make people think you'll do whatever you can to make an impact upon the school, even if that's not your agenda. Hope that helps!

Answer 3

Start with what qualifies you as a choice to be class president, experience and character that makes you a good choice. Then state your agenda while in that role for attaining solutions to the needs of your classmates. Make the key points that you can follow up on with the best results your strongest focus and summarize these along with your strongest attributes four your final statement. Most people new to Speech and Debate tend to rush through their material and finish early or skip over sections of the planned speech due to nervousness. Practice your speech in a moderate rate and verbally augment"power words" with a stronger inflection so they stand out for people to remember. If you find yourself rushing, take a brief pause to refocus your pace, a casual sip of water from a glass for example. The use of gestures and stance changes can help you keep the rhythm of your speech steady as well. Practice in front of a mirror with a stop watch in your hand. Don't look at the watch until after your run all the way through your speech. Make your adjustments in speed afterward, then run through again until it is close. Running short by a 15 second or less margin is a great target. Going over 5 to 10 seconds can probably squeak by most moderators at that level of Debate.

Answer 4

You need to remind them that you are a freshman at this school! You need to research the school and find out some of the problems freshmen have had in the past and offer solutions to these problems! Tell the other students why you want to be president and what you can do for them as president! Then re-cap your speech! Good luck!@

Answer 5

OMG - do not listen to the people above - you are SMART to ask for help - only the wisest people do.


Introduce yourself and say that you are glad to be in HS and here are the things you are looking forward to, and be excited about it. These need to be things from your heart and mind.
Then... write about your ideas for those things, and how you will make them happen if you are class President. Address each thing individually, does not have to be long just touch on each point and that will take time and still be interesting and informative about you.
Then wrap up by saying that how good the next four years will be is greatly influenced by student leadership.
Say you are willing to work hard, be creative, and listen.
Let's make the best of our HS experience.
Somewhere in there say one thing funny too.

Dress respectfully, work hard on each part of your speech and practice, practice, practice so that it is second nature when you go out. Make it yours! You do not have to be anyone but yourself because that is what people will see as true and sincere. Do not mumble, practice speaking clearly and slowly; and let someone you trust give you feedback when you practice( a parent perhaps ).Be willing to listen to their feedback - remember you will have to do that as class President.

Also remember - the people who do nothing will always try to bring you down ( but don't say that to them).

I am an English teacher - go get 'em.
You will do great

Answer 6

Make a list of all the qualities you think are important for being president. Then write down how you fit those qualities. Make a list of all the things you feel need to be accomplished during your tenure, put those in order of most to least important, then write down how the qualities you listed will cause you to be able to accomplish those goals. Also list your past accomplishments and see how those will help you with your new goals. After awhile you will have a speech. Practice it but don't memorize it.

Answer 7

Take your time to think about exactly what you're going to say. Address the student's common complaints, whether they are about food, general regulations, or something else. If you have connections to faculty, mention them. If you have connections to restaurants where you can get students special deals, mention them. Decide if you want to be funny or serious. What will appeal to the freshman class?

Answer 8

tell y you are going to be a good presendent, your goals, and how will you make the school better

Answer 9

You can't want to be class president that bad if you can't even think of any reason why.
