life.

food to not only to us but also to animals.

like gas and coal does.

nonrenewable sources such as fossil fuels.

Hi.
I am a trained voice specialist (as well as Human Right’s Priest) who frequently helps people write speeches or prepare for presentations or performances( acting or singing).
I love helping kids.If you need help in the future and live in Marin,feel free to contact me for help. I sometimes help students for free.
I think your information was basic,clear and good.
Idea One:Content~
I would suggest giving your listeners a a reference resource list of local solar companies with good reputations, and give a sense of the range of prices it normally costs to solar equip homes or businesses( ie with photovoltaic panels,etc.) Money is a real issue for people these days and initial outlays of money sometimes keeps interested people from making a more environmentally conscious shift!
Idea Two: Mechanics~
I would also suggest putting in the bolding, spacing, and other reading tools you might need in order to help you give the speech with greater ease.
I hope it went well. If you have another before the end of the year be sure to ask for help earlier if you’d like. I’d be willing to give you some free assistance! Sincerely, Kaaren
