Speech Title: FOOD IS GOOD
"Now that you know how important food is, let me tell you about the time I myself ate some food! Why back in 2008, I ate three times a DAY!!" Woo-hoo! (Ok-- not too exciting, but you get the idea!) Followed by research: AFter I realized eating food would curb my hunger, I discovered an editorial in Time Magazine from May of 2007. In this piece, everyone polled claimed to like eating some sort of food! Smith actually stated, "Food keeps me alive!"
Your turn: Pick an overly generic, way-too-basic topic, make up a title for the pretend speech and then link a personal experience as well as a faux (or real) research citation to support it using clear signposting (words that label the outline parts, such as "according to" or "Research states..."). Just like I did above. Also this week, please think about technology and the ways it has enhanced or set-back public oratory. Spend some time reading about this either on-line or in the library and we'll discuss it very soon in class! You'll finish the midterm with your introductions next week (20 points). I forgot to remind you at the end of last class since we went over, oops! Email me with any questions this week at idnasss@yahoo.com!

Speech Title: Rain Sucks
"Now that you know a bit more about the disasters rain can cause, allow me to give a more personal experience. Today a car zoomed past me in the parking lot and splashed muddy water all over my Prada and Gucci ensemble causing me to fumble my job interview. This is why am not surprised by the statistics reported in the October 2009 edition of WEATHER, which states that depression is 60% more likely to occur during poor weather."

Speech Title: "Injuries in the Work Place."
Transition: Id made hundreds of keys before this day but had no clue as of what was about to happen.
I lined the key up, clamped it down, and started to turn the key machine on. I looked around for a pair of safety glasses before I began to cut. For the most part I make sure I wear glass just so I don’t get into trouble. But since id just walked in and didn’t see any near me I decided just forget it. So I proceeded to cut the keys when on the fourth one OUCH! I get a sharp pain. A piece of medal shaving from the key blank had flown into my eye! According to The Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2004 there were 36,680 nonfatal occupational injuries or illnesses involving just the eye. I had just become a statistic.
Now that I have thoroughly explained how fun but easy to get injured why skateboarding, I am going to further expand with my own personal experience of getting hurt while having fun. I love skateboarding! One day I thought it was a great idea to skate to the gym instead of driving so I left the house in shorts, a wifebeater, and skate shoes. As I was gracefully skating down Elk Grove Florin Road I hit some prune like fruit, my skateboard flew backwards while my body flew forward! My wrist was severely scraped up gushing blood all over my clothes and my knee had tiny cement fragments in it. According to "Skater's Annonymus" people get injured quite often while skateboarding around town. Watch out fellow skaters.

Sushi
Now that I've discussed the various ways you can eat sushi, i will describe an experience that helped me realize how amazing sushi is. Back in 1990 when i was still in my mothers stomach, she ate sushi constantly hoping that it would make me smart because according to the statistics- 80% of pregnant women who eat a lot of sushi while their child is still in their womb, the child will be overly smart. And the result is me!
Now that I have told you about why texting is better than talking on the phone, I would like to tell you why I love to text. Back in 2002 when I got my first cell phone I learned that texting was so much easier then actually talking on the phone. I learned that it was awesome because you could text more than one person at a time and not get confused in the conversations. Because you can look back at what you said before. According to New Times magazine from September 2008, "Text messaging is the most used form of communication among teenagers." So remember next time you pick up your phone, TEXT! Everyones doing it ;-)

Speech Title: Cell phone or Telephone
For me, definitely, i will go with cell phone. Way back to 2006, that was the first time i got my cell phone. Before that, I had to use my landline all the time when i called my friends. It wasn't comfortable when you kept holding the big "fat" phone around with you. Moreover, I couldn't save all the contact number on the phone, so I had to write down in small notebook that i could carry with me anywhere (because i don't remember anyone number just in case some emergencies happen on the way). Everytime, I recalled these horrible moments, I felt pity for myselft. Poor me!!! Therefore, now, I alway carry my iphone with me. She's my little multitasking machine. Even though when I sleep, I also put her next to me because she is my alarm too.

A good sleep is the secret to beauty
Now that you realize how important a good sleep can do to your beauty, and to strenghten my point, I will share with you a little experience I had with this "controlversy matter." This summer, I studied full time and worked part time, so each night I only got about 3 or 4 hours to sleep. The result was that my hair started falling off, and my eyes were all swollen, not to mention that my eyes are already small. At the end of the summer, I lost total of 35, counted, strand of black hair (I wondered why my one and the only gray hair did not fall off), and got tease 52 times by my fellow good friends because my eyes were all swallen up, they became two straight and thin line, and people cannot see the pupils of my eyes (the Chineses who work in the supermarket thought I was one of them, so they speak Chinese to me whenever I came to the cashier station, which was uncomfortable for I dont speak much Chinese and couldnt make them believe that I am not Chinese).Moreover, there is a research from a Gummy Bear Oganizaion's article said that 99.9% of people who do not sleep at least 8 hours/day, will likely to turn from a beauty to an unknown creature.

Title: Dogs, a man's best friend
"We have all heard that dogs are man's best friend before; but what does this actually mean? I owned my first dog at age 7 and can not recall when we ever argued or fought. Mindy was her name and wagging her tail and giving me paw was her favorite games. In my efforts to understand this connection I myself and others have with their dogs I found an article titled Household Relationships. Angelina stated that, "In the US their are more dog relationships in household than actual marriages."
Topic:Eating food is important
Now that I have discuseed why eating food is so important, I would let to share a quick personal story about the time I didn't eat anything for a day. The first time I didn't eat anything for a day, I began to get a large migraine (sp), felt sick to my stomach, and felt like passing out. That was the day when I fully realized the importance of eating regularily and why it is so important. Research even shows that people that eat on a regular basis with three square meals a day are happier, more optemistic, and more sociable. I guess that's why I turned out the way I am-becuase I eat all the time now!
Lol. I like how Trang reffers to her celf phone as a girl (she pronouns in her speach). Cute!
PLANTS HAVE EMOTIONS TOO
"Now that I explained why plants are so easy to grow, my experiences of growing my own indoor Catpiss plant is a unique different way to grow compared to any normal indoor growing. Studies show that if you pamper, soothe talk your plant, flirt, and also do things together like any ordinary friends do when they hang out is more healthier for my a plant. Researchers seen a dramatic change in a plants behavior when one plant had less attention and when the other had alot of attention. As for the one plant who had less attention it was not only cared for like a regular plant but researches called it bad names, threatened to kill it, and also killed other plants in front of them!! Within a week that plant grew but grew as an ugly brown unhealthy plant. As for the other controlled plant that was given alot of attention and love it grew healthy and bloomed the prettiest pedals and leaves ever. That is why if you like to have nice indoor plants I would suggest you have a candle light dinner of with your indoor plant. Put some music on and get ready to embrace some sexual healing by marvin gaye. I know i will tonight and my plants, they looks gooooooooood...

Speech Title: "The Dangers of Sandwich Creation"
Now that I've elaborated on the dangers of making a sandwich, let me tell you about my own tragic loss. When I was a child my aunt was making me lunch one day when her hand slipped and she dropped the butter knife - right onto her foot! As it turned out, the butter knife was made out of pure silver - and my aunt was a werewolf! The knife pierced her skin and she died. So watch your sandwich-making and watch your relatives! The BDVW (Bureau for Detection of Vampires and Werewolves) estimates that as many as one in five people may be some form of non-human. Beware... :O
Packing Sucks!
Now that I have explained Just how bad packing really is. Now I will give you an example I had just the other day when my dad was going out town to just my sister at school. I had to help my dad tie down everything and it took forever! According to October 2008 polls almost everybody moves once in their life which means they would have to pack eventually. The statistics for that is 99% so packing won't be going away.

Now that I have discussed the addiction of facebook, I will talk about my own personal experience. Ever since last year I got my iphone, Yes I am sadly addicted to facebook.I constantly check my phone just to go on facebook.It has distracted me millions of times in class and has totally affected my grades as well.According to a recent research, 80% of all college students are addicted to facebook.
Speech Title: PURSES ARE BETTER THAN WALLETS!
"Okay, now that you know how purses are way more convienient than wallets, let me tell you how I use purses as part of my everyday life. Just yesterday I was heading to the movie theater to watch a movie with my friends, when I realized I don't have much money to even buy popcorn at the theatre!! I freaked! I mean how could you enjoy a movie without snacks?!?! So I decided to head to Target and buy tons of snacks (even some healthy ones) I bought chips, cookies, gummi bears, pretzels, everything for my friends and I. I then thought well how am I going to sneak it in, then I just stuffed everything in my enormous Prada bag. I saved about $30 and ate even more. After this I decided to do some research and see if other people do the same with their purses and stuff all kinds of needed accesories, goodies, and emergency items! Of course, they did, on seventeen.com everyone was talking about the different uses, one girl even said she carried her miniture pooch to school because she didn't want to leave it at home! Researchers on MSNBC said women are more likely to carry purses for all kinds of uses not only make-up or money, women think ahead of what could happened at any time, which men are not and that is why men have more accidents and their wallets have no essential items. According to Ronald McDonald, D.D.S stated, "For example, when women have accidental liquid damage on their clothes, they always have some sort of wipes in their purses, men on the other hand don't, what are men to do? Wipe themselves with their drivers license???"

Speech Title: Texting vs. E-mailing
"Now that you know how vital it is to know the various ways of communication; I am going to provide a more personal experience. Last week we had a lab report due in my chemistry class. I had to print the report in the end but when I checked my e-mail on Wednesday morning I did not receive the portion that was done by another group member. Therefore, I e mailed her right away so that I could get the information. Two hours went by, still no reply. Finally after frustration took over me I texted her to send me her portion of the lab. In like less than a minute I got a text message that "I just send my portion of the lab". This illustrates how convinient it is to text rather than e-mail. As research by Verizon wireless reveals an increase in the amount of people who text message now days.
Sonal.

Speech Title: Text and Drive
Now that there is a law banning all drivers from not only talking on their cell phones while driving, but texting was also added to that law. Why you ask, Duh....because it's what ten times more dangerous to text and drive obviously because you have to take your eyes off of the road for one and two for some, you have to use both hands to text! I received a pretty graphic email from a friend that works at the California Highway Patrol. It was labeled "Dont text and Drive" It showed pictures, actual pictures, of this guy that was driving a smart car that was in a head on collission with a semi....why...because he was texting. Long story short, He was decapitated from the waiste down. Very disturbing! I am guilty of it myself.but ever since i saw that email, i dont....plain and simple!
"Now that I’ve explained a little about how to make party favors. Let me tell you about an experience. On this occasion I was making party favors for a Bautizo (Christening). I had all my supplies and material ready so, I went ahead and got started. Little did I know that my kids had gotten into the stuff and had taken all the rolls of tulle outside to play. Did you know that according to Women’s Day Magazine, September 2009 in 2007 Californian’s 64% and in 2008 only 45% of hosts handed out party favors?
Don’t hate host, hate the economy!"
