I felt nervous and excited.
We had to use a clear voice, stand still, speak loudly, go at our own pace, look up at the crowd, use expressions and be confident Our speeches needed to include a rhetorical question and be persuasive.
My speech was about pitbulls. It needed to include a pepeha. Here is my speech
Tihei Mauri ora
Ko pepeha ki ahua
Ko Titirangi Te maunga
Ko Taruheru Te awa
Ko Horouta Te waka
Ko St Marys star of the sea Te marae
No Turanganui a kiwa ahau
Ko Hato Maria toku kura
Ko K.C. ahau
No reira, tena koutou, tena koutou, tena koutou katoa.
Pitbulls
Do you think pitbull are dangerous?
Some people say that pitbulls are the most dangerous dog but why? They are just normal dogs but most people don’t understand that they are harmless.
There are countries that banned pitbulls. Some of the countries are Brazil, Belgium, Canada, France, Finland, Denmark, Poland, Norway the U. S. and more.
Pitbulls are not inherently dangerous they only will become aggressive through the lack of exercise as well as lack of attention to health.
Some pitbulls were chosen bred for there fighting abilities. To me that is animal abuse. Now let's talk about pitbulls history. Pitbulls are the descendant of the original bull baiting dog. A dog that was bred that was to bite bulls, bears and other large animals around the face and head.
Then catching large animals was banned in the 1800’s. People turned it into dogs fighting against each other. That's why some people think that pitbulls are dangerous
To me they aren’t plus my Auntie,Uncle and godmother have pitbulls and I love them because they are super playful and kind.
