My Speech

My speech topic is Pollution. I am proud of my speech but I could have been louder. 

Here is my speech.

Speech Topic:  Pollution Did you know that pollution is bad? Pollution is rubbish like plastic and cans that we create and often throw out into our environment.  This rubbish can pollute our land and our water 

and cause problems to the animals.  I think that we should not have pollution.  Here are my three reasons why.

Firstly, pollution is in our water sources, such as rivers, lakes and oceans.  Fish can eat the rubbish like bags and cans and they would suffocate and maybe die.

Secondly, pollution is bad for the world because it can kill the trees.  Sometimes we need to cut trees down to make room for a landfill where we can dump all of our rubbish.  The world can not live without trees because they make oxygen for us to breathe.

Finally, pollution like plastic bags and bottles floating in the sea are causing animals to die.  Other animals or people could eat the plastic and get sick or die.  We can't live without animals to eat. 

I don't like pollution. Do you like pollution? We should try not to pollute because it is bad.

We should try not to have any pollution so our animals won'.
