My speech

My speech topic is gaming. I chose this topic because gaming is the first thing that I loved when I was 6 years. When I presented my speech I felt happy. I used good information. I could have been louder.

Here is my speech:

Why is this gaming good for you? Imagine a world without gaming. Everybody will be bored. LISTEN, EVERYONE DESERVES A SPECIAL TREAT!  Gaming happens all around the world. It is in NZ, France, England, Africa and Australia. When the cave men existed there were no screens but they still played their own type of games. There are thousands of games like super meteoed and super mario and here’s why they are good for you.

Firstly gaming helps you learn. Learning games is good for you so you don’t get confused when learning maths and spelling. They help you with maths and spelling in a fun way.

Secondly gaming can be fun. There are fun games you can play on TVs like nintendos, SENS and x-boxes or you can play online with your friends. You can play games and have fun so you don’t get bored.

Finally games can be played by people all over the world. You can play with  and against people from around NZ and from different countries like in some car games. There is a game called Raid Shadow Legend that you can play against other people.

Gaming is good for you because games can help you learn, they can be fun and you can play with people from other places.
