Kia ora,

The time has come for the Saint Mary's 2021 speech competition. All of the school had to write a speech, the juniors had to write a report and the seniors had to write a persuasive speech.
The topic of my speech is horse vs electric vehicles.

Doing school Speeches is a great way to build students' confidence.
This year i achieved first for the year five speeches

I enjoyed doing this because I think it is really fun when you get into the finals and if you do you feel really good.I found it challenging to choses a topic because there are so many things you can do.

      Horses vs Electric vehicles

Are you worried about running out of fossil fuels in the world? Are you fed up with the government telling you to buy an electric car to save the world? Well I've got the solution for you. 
Why don't we just take a step back and start using horses to travel. In this speech I will state three reasons why horse are the way to go to solve our pollution problems in the world and make a better world to live in

Firstly, These days we are very concerned about the amount of pollution that fossil fuels are putting into the world. The government believes it will save the world if we all change to electric vehicles. All of this may be true but to make an electric vehicle some of the equipment you need comes from a machine which most probably uses oil to power it. At this stage we are becoming too reliant on these fuels and are starting to use them too much so we're running out and it will take about another million years for it to form. About 80% of the appliances we use today use fossil fuels. And worst of all when these fuels are burned they release nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere  which causes global warming. It is extremely important that we cut down on the use of these fuels. But are electric cars the answer?
I think not. There is a far simpler way that is also one that is nice to pat. Yes, you’re right. It’s the loveable horse.

Secondly, Let’s compare and soon you will agree with me. While horses and electric vehicles can go about the same distance,  and sure they are making electric cars be able to  travel farther one day, covid 19 may mean that we are not likely to get a bunch of cars shipped in from another countries any time soon, or even maybe not even able to move outside our city. Well with horses there are already thousands of them. Imagine if you're going on a trip and your electric car starts to go flat. you're most likely to not find a charging station and if you do it will take forever to charge. Not everyone has time to wait around for  up to 24 hours Sure with a horse you have to give it a rest every now and then and maybe give it an apple or two but that's not that much to ask is it. 

Thirdly, There is a horse for everyone as there are 200 different breeds but there are only 3 different types of electric cars you're bound to find  a horse of your liking.  That will be different from your neighbours. You can have a really nice relationship with a horse and they're really soft and cuddly too, I don't think you would want to cuddle an electric car. Horses have a nice nature and are very kind to the disabled people. Cars will just run over anyone. They don’t care. The only pollution that horses make is very good for the garden. Well, I could go on and on about horses but I must give it a kick and move on. No doubt horses are the best option for the future.

In conclusion,
I am absolutely certain that horses are the way to the future. In this speech I have explained why we should make a change, why horses are better than electric cars and the benefits of horses. This is vital as fossil fuels are polluting the world and with this change it will make us and the world happier and healther. It's your time to take action and buy a horse.
