Speeches / Farewell speech for a retiring teacher. I am given the chance to deliver a speech [4]
JingNing, since this is a speech writing category, I will focus on your content of your writing rather than grammatical accuracy. I would like to remind you that, despite pointing several points, I suggest that you should also convey us the detail of your speech, how long / how many minutes. It is because, when you only wrote like this, I am afraid that my feedback will not be really helpful. Therefore, I reckon that this speech only last for a while, not more than two minutes, because it is too short. Now, for a breakdown of my feedback towards your ideas, see the descriptions below:
- Mrs Lim has contributed a lot... (what kind of contributions? perhaps you can give some brief examples here)
- She is an amazing and interesting teacher, but she is also the Head of English panel.... (I reckon that'BUT'is used for contrasting something. Amazing (positive), head of English Panel (is it negative?)) and I think this sentence needs more elaboration from you.
- ..teacher advisor for the debating team (the whole idea about this is okay, well-developed)
- ....spend her quality time to take part in charity events (this is also okay, acceptable and understandable)
Lastly, perhaps you can use a quotation from famous person or from your teacher in the closing part of your speech. :)
