Good speech-making is another important way of keeping our culture alive. (Claire Corbett, Unforgettable
Speeches web page ABC Radio National website, 7 February 2007)
A speech is not remembered for its weight of words. It’s measured by what is said, how it’s said, and who
it is said to. (Joel Deane, The Age, 13 February 2007)
With the combination of the arrival of television and life being much faster, the whole business of
constructing a speech and thinking about speech got swallowed up. (Geraldine Doogue, The Age,
13 February 2007)
You should’ve heard Sam’s speech at Amy’s 21st. It was awesome. (Overheard)


‘Speech-making is a valued and valid form of communication in contemporary Australia.’ Discuss.

Hey, I don't do English Language, but check out the 2007 assessor's report if you haven't already:
http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/vce/studies/englishlanguage/assessreports/2007/englang_assessrep_07.pdf

It contains example essays and points which you can include etc. Sorry if you've already seen it, but I thought I'd double check =)
