Teacher's speech before a major examination.(18/8/09)

-cheating
-motivation
-encouragement
-inspiration quotes

Why do you want to do well in examinations? Is it for yourselves or for your family? Whatever the reasons, it is for your own well-being as well as a better future. The decision to excel is in your hands. You can choose the outcome, good or bad. What is good? This depends on your own personal acaedemic goal in life. It also depends on your ambition. For example, if your ambition is to be a doctor, you have to excel in your sciences. No matter what, everyone has to put in great effort in order to achieve the desired results. Imagine yourself getting your result slip, how do you want to react? Do you want to moan or do you want to celebrate? You decide!

Being a student before, i remembered how much effort i've put in to do well in each and every examination, for i know that it is for my own future. Here i am standing, telling you the importance of examinations, which is the only way to show how much students understand the lessons taught. The world is very practical. In all circumstances, they look at your results and achievements. If you had been discouraged by your previous examinations, have confidence in yourself and give your best. The result? you decide!

  1. I think there are too many rhetorical questions. I think you only covered the point about motivation.

  2. interesting but it sounds too informal
    try adding more idioms related to education may sound more formal

  3. i think a lot of vague words like good , bad have been used.. can be replaced by more specific words to make the speech more powerful.

  6. I think you only talked about how importance it its to do well in the exam,good t oadd in your own experience,but seems that you did not mention about the teacher's speech at all?

  7. 'The decision of doing well is only for you to decide' seems mild although meaning is there. Can consider 'The decision to excel is in your hands'.

    The 'You decide!' was good but not continually used to put it to even stronger effect.

  8. You could try to add in more of your personal experiences.

  9. I think in the teacher's speech, you should add more encouraged words to help the students out of the stress and face the exams as normal which is your point. But it's good to tell your own experience.

  10. The first paragarpah seems to consist of a lot of questions. Though you provided an example, it would have been better if it helped to elaborate the points that you had mentioned earlier.

  11. I agree with all the earlier comments that there seems to be too much questions, instead of posing so much questions, you could elaborate more, also there seems to be an attempted telling of past experience. therefore this sentence "Being a student before, i remembered how much effort i've put in to do well in each and every examination" could be continued

  12. I think you should elaborate more points. The first paragraph sounds like the opening of the speech and not the elaboration of points

  13. It is interesting and can make the students thinking of their attitude of study. But it is very imformal compare to s formal speech.
    I like the short sentences "You decide!". Try to repeat it more to make the speech more powerful.
