Speech Topics

Speech topics for Outlook Instructions Below are four different speech topics for Outlook. Each topic includes a prompt and three supporting facts as well as an opinion you should argue. Argue the opinion in a two-minute speech. __________________________________________________________________________________________________ A. Is world peace realistic while men still inhabit Earth? -

Men start all the wars. Most presidents are men – and they’ve failed to keep peace amongst themselves. Men make up most militaries and armed forces.

I suggest we get rid of men. __________________________________________________________________________________________________ B. Can we ever be friends with robots? -

Robots always kill humans in movies. Robots are always getting stronger and more intelligent – humans aren’t. Robots can be programmed to be violent and hurt people. Can we trust robots?

I suggest we stop building robots. __________________________________________________________________________________________________ C. Can we clean the air and save the environment? -

Our skies are black, white, and grey because of pollution. Most pollution comes from people and factories. Kangaroos don’t pollute.

I suggest we close all the factories, kill all the people and let kangaroos rule the Earth (like they do in Australia). __________________________________________________________________________________________________ D. How can we save water? -

Water comes from the ocean. Humans use water to shower. Humans can travel to the ocean for water.

I suggest we stop taking showers at home and instead travel to the ocean every day to shower. Renato Ganoza for EF Zhengzhou, 2009
