Lesson 15: Nicole Practices Her Election Speech
Nicole is running for student body president. She must give a speech next week. She discusses the speech with her mother.
Susan: What's up, Nicole?
Nicole: I pulled an all-nighter working on my election speech.
Susan: No wonder you look like a basket case! Did you finish your speech?
Nicole: Yes, at 6 a.m.
Susan: That must be a load off your mind!
Nicole: It's not. I've got to give the speech tomorrow in front of 1,500 people. I'm a nervous wreck!
Susan: Just remember the old rule of thumb: Imagine your audience naked.
Nicole: That's gross. Why would I want to do that?
Susan: According to conventional wisdom, it'll make you less nervous.
Nicole: Only practice will do the trick.
Susan: Okay, let's hear the speech.
Nicole: Good afternoon, everyone. There are four candidates running for president. You think you have several choices. In reality, you have just one choice: me!
Susan: You can't say that. You'll turn off your audience immediately.
Nicole: It sounds like I have a big head?
Susan: I'll say!
