Persuasive Speech: The Melbourne Cup

I remember as a little kid and now being fascinated by race horses. When I was around eight years old, my grandfather took me to a farm where they raise race horses. They were out exercising Mine That Bird and a few other horses. I thought it was so fascinating! The owner walked up to and asked if I enjoy watching them, I said very shyly,” yes sir.” He took me to the barn and let me look at all the foals and I was astonished. I got to thinking what all do they have to do to get these young foals ready to one day race? I asked Mr. Allen, and he said, “there are many things that you can do but some people don’t do the right thing and they cheat their way to victory”.

At the point when mapping out your Australian get-away, a visit to Queensland's capital may not be your first decision. The nation's third biggest city is frequently ignored for Australia's all the more surely understood visitor problem areas, as Sydney and Melbourne. However, Brisbane's subtropical atmosphere, flourishing expressions and unrecorded music scene and flock of outside to-dos make it a commendable destination for your next excursion Down Under.

In 1984, Peter McCormick’s “Advance Australia Fair” officially became Australia’s national anthem. A song we proudly sing both on Anzac Day and Australia Day, with our hand’s on our heart. Should we be proud to sing a song about absolute lies? “Australians all let us rejoice, For we are young and free”, it took aboriginals over 60 years to be recognized as human beings, let alone Australians, they were anything but free. “For those who’ve come across the seas, we’ve boundless plains to share”, that whole sentence is a lie, we have stopped the boats, we don't want to share our boundless plains. We lock up our immigrants in Detention Centers, replicating that of cages. All of us here are living a free life and a safe life and for the majority of us, it is our reality and has been since the day we were born. I’m

Today Australians acknowledge the rights of everyone, a democratic system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives. Australia, the rights of everyone, furthermore the long term Australia is in independent nation and since one of the most important aspects of nationhood is the people, ourb> head of state should be an Australian whose first allegiance is to Australia, not Britain. I have three main points I wish to make clear these are that citizens of Australia have favoured the change for many years now and, secondly Australia can benefit socially and economically, thirdly, support grows every year and is virtually exponentially, so do you want this change now or 100 years away?

Tuesday November the 4th marked another Melbourne Cup, promising a day filled with champagne, crowds and colour. 1000s of spectators, staff and jockeys had lined up in the hope of cashing in on some success. Unfortunately this was not the case for the owners of Admire Rakti or Araldo, who tragically died after the race. This sudden and shocking news has re-ignited the issue of whether horse racing should be banned in Australia. Ironically this issue is driven on both sides by the same impulse: the love of the horse. Organisations including the coalition for the protection of racehorses along with animal welfare groups are concerned about the treatment and well-being of the horses. Similarly, horse owners, jockeys and staff’s main focus is the welfare of the horse.

Also in 2009 to 2010, 281,000 people attended greyhound racing events and was known to be among the top ten ranked sports in Australia and additional the Greyhound Racing Victoria (GRV) 2013/14 annual report indicated that attendances had risen by six percent over the previous year. But though it’s popular the more issue arises in the way they regulate treatment and welfare these animals, the more people that support will become disguised and

“I’m going crazy,” “I can’t control myself,” “People are judging me,” “I’m about to die.”

I am sure that everyone of you have heard about aliens and UFOs. Indeed, we all have heard about the famous case of aliens and UFOs in Roswell, New Mexico. Most people might be interested in the topic of aliens, but I know that the majority of you just think of it as rumours and the existence of them are impossible. Therefore, I am standing here in front all of you to make you change your perspective. I am strongly confident that I have found the evidence of their real existence to convince all of you.

It’s that time of year again - Halloween. After costumes are donned, kids go trick-or-treating, parties are thrown and lollies are given out. It’s a fun time for most of Australia with the percentage of people celebrating it over the last four years jumping to a staggering 60% increase.

Recorded in Australia during 2011-12, 8 million Australian adults had smoked a cigarette in their life, out of that 8 million; 3.1 million were already current smokers. Currently there are laws against smoking in the workplace, but there are no laws about having restricted areas for smoking outside of the workplace. In 2011-12, there was a recorded estimate of 22.7 million residents. 19.6 million of those people do not smoke, so why are we not making Australia a safer and smoke free environment for those people.

This entire region is under danger from International warming, which is a big deal because almost a 3rd of Earth's soft coral is located there. That makes the whole thing quite important to our ecosystem. It does not actually matter exactly what side of the fence you arrive at when it concerns the political global warming debate, this place remains in danger, so you actually wish to experience it before it's far too late.

My mom told me about how having a baby is like planning a trip to Australia. You've heard it's a wonderful place; you've read many guide-books and feel certain you're ready to go. Everyone you know has traveled there by plane. They say it can be a turbulent flight with occasional rough landings, but you can look forward to being pampered on the trip. So you go to the airport and ask the ticket agent for a ticket to Australia. All around you, excited people are boarding planes for Australia. It seems there is no seat for you; you'll have to wait for the next flight. Impatient, but anticipating a wonderful trip, you wait --- and wait --- and wait. Flights to Australia continue to come and go. People say silly things like, "Relax. You'll get on a flight soon." Other

For example, using a leftover coffee can for loose nails or screws, or even washing and reusing a plastic zip-loc bag instead of throwing it in the garbage. Thrift shopping is a way of reusing someone else’s unwanted goods. As I spoke about in an earlier speech about thrifting, I included many locations and ways to thrift, also the benefits to the shopper and the donator. One place in particular was shopping at the local boys and girls club. I personally shop there, keeping my eyes open for a good deal. For example, the pair of jeans that I am wearing today was purchased from this store just a few months ago. I paid only $8.00 for this pair of Lucky Jeans and according to buckle.com, a retailer for lucky jeans the retail price is $99.00 that is a savings to me of $91.00.I am not the type to worry about name brands, but quality usually does cost more. If I can get a quality pair of jeans at a fraction on the price, I am glad to shop at the thrift store. I am thankful to the person that made the donation of the lucky jeans and they can benefit from that donation. According to the IRS webpage, IRS. Gov it explains that an individual can donate items like clothing, household furniture and furnishings, a car or boat, even taxidermy. The donations are appraised, by the donator, and recorded. At the time of filing taxes if the donation equals at least $500 for the year, the donator may take advantage of the
