Ben's Speech

Smoking Kills!

• Did you know that 5,000 New Zealanders die from smoking every year? Did you know that smoking is the number one killer that causes deaths in the world?

Smoking is bad for you  because people can die from doing it. Smoking doesn’t only kill the smoker but also harms the non-smoker around you too because they are breathing in your second hand smoke.

Smoking carries toxic chemicals that can affect your lungs. It causes your teeth to rot and most likely causes asthma.

I am learning to write a speech.

I am so proud of writing an interesting speech.

It can be tricky to make your speech more than 2 minutes long.

My Teacher can help me by editing my speech with me.

The next step for me in my learning might be to write a more interesting speech.
