My Speech About Photography

This term Belfast school are doing speech's. We got to chose our topic for our speech. I chose photography. We had to make the speech at least two minutes fourty-five seconds to three minutes long. I chose photography because I want to become a photographer when I am older. We had to start with an introduction about what our speech will be about. Then we had to add different facts and information about this topic. Yesterday we said our speech's to our class. If we did well we get to read our speech to the syndicate. After we finished writing our speech we added them into cards. We made the cards on google docs. To make the cards we would go down to the bottom of the doc and go to insert and then table and go two across four down. I have highlighted some of the important parts if you h=just wan to have a skim through it. Here is my speech.
