Question

Directions: You are to craft a persuasive speech for the following prompt: It is Christmastime, and Santa Claus has placed you on his VERY NAUGHTY list. However, instead of handing you lumps of coal, he has turned this list over to his old friend Krampus. You are given one opportunity to convince Krampus that you are in fact NICE and that he should, as a result, not drag you off in his basket and beat you with switches and chains. N.B.: While there is no set “length” for this speech script, you must be certain that you make a complete and convincingargument. (Translation: I expect an Introduction, a Body with three main points, and a Conclusion that would be as developed as one should be for any speech made in this class).

Answer 1

Being naughty is different thing and hurting someone is different aspect. I may be naughty but I did not hurt anyone. I always kept in mind that none should feel offensive due to our remarks. I did not make any offensive personal comment this year.

If we hurt someone physically and mentally then there is point to be notice that physical injuries may heal with in stipulated time period but mental hurt stays for a longer time. I did not hurt anyone. I tried to respect everyone. I helped poor children. I was naughty but my actions were limited to myself only.

No harsh comment was made. I made certain mistakes and rectified them through making little efforts. My parents enjoyed my wrong and faulty actions. No monetray loss occured to my parents just because of my actions. I just tried to be nice.

I brought smile on many faces. My teachers were also happy with my acedamic performanmce. They acclaimed me for my contributions in sports. I helped my cousins in their homework. We all enjoyed a lot throughout this year. We had broken some glasses but to full fill the loss we also provided our labour.

In short I did many mistakes but those were fun. I made many people laugh. So, I should be given one more chance to get out of Nughty List. Next year I will try my level best to keep myself in a position where there will be no need for such explanations.
