Your teacher has assigned you to give a description speech. choose a topic for your description speech. discuss what you need to develop your speech.

The correct answer is the following:

A description speech is when we want to get a moment in time, an important occasion, a relevant date, and recreate it using the most important moments o elements of that occasion. It could be the description of an event or an individual. The important thing is that you have to describe it so well that the audience can visualize the moment. In simple terms, you narrate something very clear in order to people understand the idea and have a vivid moment through your words.  

The topic of my description speech is “my first visit to the Grand Canyon in Arizona.”

What do I need to develop in my speech?

Well, you need to consider various factors to have a good description speech.

First, the emotion you feel when you knew you were going to visit the Grand Canyon compared with the feeling when you were arriving at the place. Then you can describe the beautiful sight, the noises, the colors, the kind of wildlife yo saw, all the environment, the magnificence of mother nature, what your senses captured being in front of the Canyon.  

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
