Speech goal

I am proud of the way I can do my speech with out looking at my cards.

My goal say my speech clearly.

  

Water is important

My name is Dylan and I am here to tell you the interesting,exciting and super facts about water. Because water is very important. It keeps everything alive.

Did you know that 2/3 of an average person's  body is water. We are just like this grape ... all watery and juicy.

Imagine if there was no water on the planet. We would end up like this raisin and would eventually dehydrate and shrivel up and die.

You are probably wondering what dehydration is. Dehydration is when the body does not get enough water. This can cause mental confusion which can make people do silly things. If a person does not drink water when they need to there will not be enough fluid in the blood circulating in their body. This can cause hypoglycemic shock which can kill you.

As you know ... plants need water. Without water on the planet, plants would die! Plants need to absorb the moisture from the soil through their roots. For example, I have two plants here. One of them I have watered for the last few days. One I have not. Can you spot the difference?

But wait! There’s more. What would happen to the fish? Nothing because there would not be any fish. Fish have to have water to survive. Actually there would not be any marine life! Water is the home of marine life. For example, at Kapiti Island this year we walked down to the beach to go fishing and snorkelling. I noticed lots of jellyfish scattered on the rocks all over the beach. They had died as there wasn’t enough water for them.

Without water most of us wouldn't have any electricity. Wikipedia.com shows that half of New Zealand's electricity needs come from water. Without water there wouldn't be any electricity. But then I guess if we have all dehydrated and perished, electricity wouldn’t have been invented.And wouldn’t be needed!

So don’t you think water is the most  interesting,

the most exciting

the most super thing in the world!

We need water.

It keeps everything alive.
