Where can I find a good topic for a persuasive speech?
I don’t want you to do my homework. I just need a good topic to start my speech and I don’t something about abortion, capital punishment or drugs. It has to be a 5 minutes speech and tutor said we have to take a firm position on it.
Can someone give me a good idea for a persuasive speech? Thanks you all in advance.
