    I know how challenging writing speeches can be, and I wish you luck in your Presidential Election :p

    I'd try starting my speech off on a lite note, maybe even a comical first couple of statements. Then as you progress, start telling some qualities that you have that you believe make you a perfect Candide. Tell how you will be fair and open minded, and really speak of your plans to make your school a better place. Don't go totally overboard and drag on and on, because no one likes a boring speech. Just write a speech that you yourself would enjoy listening too. Try presenting it to a friend before hand and ask their honest opinion. Don't be offended, but instead open minded to new suggestions and constructive critisism.

    First, ask yourself why you are running for president and what you want to achieve in that job. You should have a list of three or four things you want to do as president. When you give your speech, make sure to say why you're running and what you plan to do clearly and simply. As for giving the speech itself, make sure to enunciate and pronounce your words very clearly. Also, make sure you talk loudly enough for everyone to hear you. Don't talk too fast and look your audience in the eye. Act confident, even if you feel nervous. It would be a good idea to write your speech and then practice it in front of your family or a few friends.

    Draw on your guy or woman reports. it particularly is why no possible write the shaggy dog tale for you. think of back and discover humor on your college or election adventure. some thing genuine. it particularly is the only element that folk will relate too. Any canned shaggy dog tale would be won with polite reaction or ineffective silence. yet once you will desire to have a canned shaggy dog tale, use the single on the subject of the main needed element approximately fulfillment is sincerity. as quickly as you could pretend that, you have it made.
