You must write the speech like an essay, but minimize the use of speaking like this: Hi! My name is Emma! Today, I'll talk about this! No no, you cannot start speeches like that! You must state your thesis in your commencing sentence, and restate it at the end. Now that we have your introduction and conclusion, let's start the body of the speech. Your speech must have equal parts of loving people and prayers, nothing else. I mean it when I say nothing else, this speech isn't about anything OTHER than loving others and prayers. Going off topic can ruin a perfectly good speech, it's alright to go a little off topic; just as long as you very directly back to the point. So remember, a good introduction and conclusion and a few paragraphs on your topic; just don't have any run on sentences in your speech either.
