60 Second Persuasion Speech
It’s that time of the year again when Christmas stockings are hung and Christmas carols are sung. So why does it not feel like Christmas? Why aren't our Christmas stockings hung and why are we not singing Christmas songs? This is because our Christmas break has been moved to the 20th of December, which is only five days before Christmas! This is not right. Our Christmas breaks should start a week earlier as we will have more time to celebrate and prepare for Christmas! After all I don't feel the Christmas spirit until I am on break. I am sure it is the same for you. Also during the Christmas break we normally get a lot of homework and projects which we always have to rush and do a day or two before we go back to school since we are away or celebrating Christmas the other days. If Christmas break started a week earlier we would have more time to do our homework and not have to do it during the Christmas season which would lead to more family time and therefore more Christmas time. I understand that we need more days of school but we all deserve a break! The five school days that we would lose by starting Christmas break one week earlier, could be made up by coming back to school one week earlier in the fall. That is why our Christmas break should start a week earlier. Thank you.

Hi Juliette! I thoroughly enjoyed reading your speech. Everything you wrote resonated with me. Seeing that I am writing this on my Christmas break, I have experience everything that you wrote. This Christmas was just not as festive as it normally is. Also it does not help that since we are now progressing into high-school we have to over come a lot more work that we are not use to. It's not that our break is short, its just does not give us time for unseen happenings. For example I was sick for this entire break and now recovering and doing my homework. The break just goes so fast, we get out school and Its already Christmas. Few days later its New Years and before you know it, its time to go back to school. Also it does not help that some of my family members I haven't seen for years are visiting! But I had to miss some opportunities of being with them because I was sick or doing my homework. Thank you for bringing a light to this situation. Hopefully one day we can extended out break.
