There are many great activities to do in the summer, which makes it my favourite season.
First of all, summer allows for more outdoor activities. The warm weather lets me spend more
time outside doing the things I love, such as playing my favorite outdoor sports, meeting with
friends, or just walking around different parts of the city. It's important to wear sunscreen
when you're outside. Additionally, more fun events are held during the summer, such as
outdoor concerts and various festivals. The concerts the park are always enjoyable to
watch with friends and family. Finally, summer provides better vacation options. I can go to
the beach, for instance, or explore different places closer to home at much less cost and
without having to pack a lot of warm clothes. Summer is the best time to get out, and so we
should enjoy it while we can.

Finalizing and Presenting the Speech
In this part of the activity, you will use the sources you identified in task 1, the thesis statement you created, and your teacher's feedback to strengthen, develop, and organize the content of your speech. You will then write the text of the speech. The target audience for your speech is your teacher, so your speech should be appropriate for a formal setting.
Part A
Review the feedback you received from your teacher on your thesis and sources. Using this feedback to strengthen your stance and thesis, create an outline of your speech to decide how you will group and sequence the facts, opinions, and arguments you present to support your thesis statement. Your outline should build on your original plan by indicating how you will include ideas from the sources you identified in task 1.

Your outline should also show how you will structure the introduction, body, and conclusion of your speech.

Using the outline you created, write the first draft of your speech in the blank space provided below. Your speech should be between six and eight minutes long and formal in style. Keep in mind that an average person speaks about 150 words per minute, so your speech will be between 900 and 1,200 words long. As you write your draft, remember that your purpose is to persuade your audience to accept the opinion reflected in the thesis statement.

Your introduction should include the thesis statement and should pull your reader into your speech, showing the audience why they should care about this topic. The body of the speech is where you develop your main ideas and provide supporting evidence and arguments. You should consider any counterarguments to your position and address those positions when necessary. Work with the resources you consulted by quoting, paraphrasing, and summarizing them. Use appropriate citations wherever needed. Finally, your conclusion should not only summarize the main points of the paper but also leave readers with a message that gives the speech a sense of completeness.

The ideas in your speech should flow in a smooth sequence, and your speech as a whole should be focused on your thesis. Use a variety of phrases and clauses to add interest to your speech. Avoid deviations from your main topic.

Read the following paragraphs from "Behind the Veil." The street, although wide, was inconveniently full of strollers passing to and fro. The situation was not helped by the sleek swift cars, which sped by from time to time. They carried wealthy occupants, young women and ladies, who, protected from the curiosity of the outside world, displayed radiant faces. Their shining gaze roved across the street, smiling or frowning as they took in the sights which pleased or displeased them. Among the surging crowd was an amazing mixture of different clothes and contrasting shapes, which if nothing else, serve to emphasize the varying tastes of these passers-by. A European who had never been to the East before might be excused for thinking that its people were in the middle of a great festival. As time goes by, however, he is moved to say in amazement, 'What long carnival celebrations you have in this country!' Our Western friend would think that people wear these amazing clothes for a festival, just as they would do in his own country. Which of these sentences most effectively summarizes the main ideas in this paragraph?

A. The people of the city were celebrating a festival and wore their most colorful and fashionable clothes in recognition of the holiday.
B. The street was crowded with pedestrians dressed in an array of fashionable clothing that would have made a distinct impression on foreign visitors.
C. There were many people dressed in a variety of colorful fashions crowding the roadways and making it nearly impossible for cars filled with wealthy onlookers to pass by.
D. Europeans and Western visitors would have thought there was a celebration going on in the city because the streets were filled with people who were dressed in festive clothing and who were smiling at all the sights.

Rewrite this passage as old information begins each sentence and new information follows the old.
Two aims-the recovery of the American economy and the modernization of America into a
military power-were in the president's mind when he assumed office. The drop in
unemployment figures and inflation, and the increase in the GNP testifies to his success in the
first. But our increase in involvement in international conflict without any clear set of political
goals indicates less success with the second. Nevertheless, increases in the military budget and a good deal of saber rattling pleased the American voter.
