Oral Help On University Deregulation Fees.

[Muchos Help]

I'm starting to prepare for my oral regarding university deregulation fees but I'm looking a bit of help on my body paragraphs or oral in general. I'm largely opposed this change but I always tend to make these really dull and boring body paragraphs when I write orals/essays in general that deter people from listening to my speech.

Any tips/help on how to think of better ideas are appreciated as well!

Try and use examples of how university fee deregulation would impact students. Rather than discussing general facts, describe the effect of this proposed legislation on individuals. Case studies will bring your oral alive and make it seem like a real issue.

Hope this helps!

First tip would be to scrap the idea of body paragraphs. You're writing a speech, not an essay; speeches don't have body paragraphs. What you're really looking for is a solid introduction, a solid conclusion and then two or three themes to talk about in the body of the speech. If you write your speech with body paragraphs, instead of themes, you will write a clunky speech that sounds like an essay.

For mine, you need to explain what deregulation is and how it is inequitable to individuals. Then broaden the scope and explain how deregulation is in fact bad for Australia. Personally, I oppose the deregulation of University fees because it adds a price signal when it comes to choosing a university. Therefore, a bright and talented student, that would benefit most from the best education available, may choose a university that offers a worse education because they are cheaper. This is bad for Australia, as it means that the best and the brightest aren't getting the best education. It becomes about money rather than merit.

Anyway, rather than delving into my personal thoughts on the matter, here's a For & Against I wrote for about free tertiary ed that speaks about similar themes.
Personally, I really love this article about the changes to the higher education system. The quotes from Greg Craven (e.g. "The Kemp-Norton report gives broad university entry the sort of tick usually reserved for baby animals and free beer") will give you some laughs if you whack them in your speech.

Thanks for the replies!

You're writing a speech, not an essay

THIS.

Attention all VCE English students! This is by far the most common mistake students make when writing a speech. I've seen students literally write an essay, memorise it, and then read it out loud for their presentation. It puts everyone to sleep in roughly 2.5 seconds.

I recommend watching some TED talks to get some ideas about public speaking.
