Объяснение
In an oral speech contest a topic is chosen, a plan made and a text prepared. In choosing words, using a dictionary of synonyms enriches the speech. During delivery pronunciation must be clear, intonation must fit the content, pace moderate and pauses made where needed. If the speech follows literary norms and the thought is coherent and supported by facts, it strongly affects listeners. After the contest the mistakes (pronunciation, style) in your own and your classmates’ speeches are noted and worked on.
