Which speech was your favorite and why?

My favorite speech was a tribute speech because I got A for this speech))) But if to be serious I like this type of speech because it is a good opportunity to honor somebody for something they've done, for who they are, for they've been in life. Such people who worthy of praise don't like to show off and cry out to everyone about their achievements but they need to hear that somebody sees their work, their passion and they are very useful for community. Through the speech of tribute I am able to give credit, respect, admiration or inspiration to a person who has accomplished something significant, lives in a way that deserves to be praised. If you don't have any opportunity to practice your public speech with tribute speech it's more easier because there are a lot of different events where everybody can practice their speech such as: weddings, anniversaries, retirements, even family birthday parties. I like a tribute speech because it's easy to be simple, to be oneself. The rules for giving an effective speech of tribute are flexible. You can give a tribute speech in different way, for example it can be written in manuscript form and read to the audience or it can be presented contemporaneously. We can sharp our skillfulness through the tribute speech.

  1. A few people have said that the tribute speech was their favorite and most of all it seems because it is comfortable and personal. I think it is a great thing that you liked it because you got to honor somebody when you feel like you never really get the chance. It is a great point that people that deserve to be honored do not sit and say look at me so it is really nice when we can show our appreciation in any setting like the ones you mentioned. Even though I did not name the tribute speech as my favorite I understand why it is many others favorite.

  3. I totally agree with you. For one, I really enjoyed this speech because I too did well on it! Also, it is nice to honor someone who means a great deal to you. It makes you speech really feel meaningful, and gives you a greater sense of purpose. I like how you mentioned that the tribute speech is "flexible". This is totally true, and it is part of what makes this type of speech so enjoyable. Although most of the time a tribute speech will be more emotional and touching, you don't have to be afraid to mix it up a little and inject humor or lightheartedness. Also, like you said, this type of speech can be used for many different occasions. I think it's usefulness, versatility, and personal touch is what makes it a great type of speech.
