English oral - current hot topics

[tomatosauce]

Hey again! Yes its holidays... but our teachers have every excuse for why we should be doing homework all holidays! We have multiple different assignments, but I'm struggling with an english oral I'm meant to be preparing for... The topic must be something which has been controversial / a point of discussion / a hot topic (since last september) in the public forum, general society, media, etc. I have NO idea what to do... I follow the news a bit but I'm not exactly obsessed with it, so I'm having a bit of trouble choosing! I'd be glad of any suggestions... I have to choose it, send it in for approval, then research it and fully prepare for my oral on it before school goes back somewhere in there I'm meant to move houseso I'm kinda running tight for time! 
Thanks guys!
I don't know of anywhere else where everyone is sooooo supportive, helpful and just generally there for you! loving AN rn!

Since you watch the news - just keep watching until you find a topic that actually interests you. You can also check youtube for some news clips.

I don't think I can just give you a topic to study since everyone's interests will be different so just make sure you choose an issue that you feel is extremely important and needs to be focused on.

Politics?
Or what passes for politics here in Australia...

If you’re fond of animals, why not try researching live export or experimentation? What about smoking, and recent political changes encouraging the boycott of such behaviours? Safe injecting rooms has been a huge political debate lately, but I’m not sure how that will go down in a year 10 class.

Those are just some ideas - do what you’re passionate about. Being emotionally invested in the topic you’re writing on gives your speech a certain sort of fire. Good luck.
