W: I’m giving my speech on global warming on Monday. Could you give me some advice?

M: Sure. What’s it about?

W: Everyone has to choose a different aspect of global warming-like rising sea levels, storms, or extreme heat. Mine is about how ocean plant life is dying because the ocean is getting too hot.

M: So what’s the problem?

W: Well, I’ve done a lot of research, so answering questions isn’t the problem. I’m happy with my speech, too. But how to begin the speech isn’t easy for me.

M: That’s completely normal.

W: I looked online for speech tips, but none of them are helpful.

M: You should give the speech to your family and friends as much as possible.

W: So...you’d like to hear it?

M: of course! You know what they say, “Practice makes perfect.”
