Speech- inaugural address

Today when we were given a copy of inaugural speeches, I was speechless. Don’t tell me that we are going to write an inaugural speech! Then Ms Dzeelfa explained that we were actually needed to write an inaugural speech. What a nightmare! I hate speeches! Our group was assigned to read the speech from Franklin Delano Roosevelt about the Pearl Harbor Address to the Nation. I have this negative mindset that all speeches are boring. But after reading this particular speech, it turned out to be that the speech was marvelous. I could really feel what Roosevelt was trying to convey, how angry and depressed he was about the attacking of the Pearl Harbor. After reading my assigned speeches, I ended up reading another speech from Earl of Spencer about Princess Diana’s death. I was touched! Then we were required to answer some questions about the speech. I was never introduced to speech reading before, thus this experience of reading inaugural speech is something new and quite interesting.
