6B - Our Wonderful World Speeches!

Our topic, The World Around Us, is coming to and end and so we finished it with amazing speeches! We looked at the issues currently facing our beautiful planet including Climate Change, plastic pollution and deforestation. We also watched Greta Thunberg's speech on climate change to see how she uses persuasive techniques and how her passion shines through. 

Our Wonderful World by Manni

The people I will talk about today are a disgrace. However, the places are different. You see 18 million acres of wilderness is lost to deforestation each year. That is the size of an entire country (Panama) yes some do their best to stop it. There is an entire generation that would give anything. There is some who already lost that. But lots of people don’t care. Lots just let the next generation do it all for them. But if we don’t do anything NOW we will lose it all we will lose millions of species to deforestation. We will lose enough forest to spark a necessary flame to get global warming and we will be seeing a mass extinction for everything on planet earth. And the planet will die! 

 

Did you know that the forests cover 30% of the earths land? If we don’t end all of this madness then our newest generation and other generations and others to come will be not only fixing your problems for you if that is even possible but they might never see rhinos tigers' polar bears and countless other innocent animals. And that would be your fault. Don’t blame the person next to you just do your darn part and even if he isn't once you have done yours you can worry about him but you have not.

Climate change is real it is not a fake story or even a sudden appearance of weird weather it is a real thing that we started but we need your help and you won't give it to us. You know who you are. You are mostly those powerful enough to end it but I never said smart enough to end all this suffering. Normally I would try to flatter you but honestly, I've had enough, enough of the greenhouse gasses being at an all-time high or our own oceans dying because the people who have enough power to stop this being too darn stubborn and thick to do so. 

 Now I will try to tell you what exactly is happening and how to end it (so listen). First, on the list we have the fact that we are simply using way too many recourses for us to renew all we have to do is start being a bit less greedy and maybe even grow crops in our back yard you may not have a big garden but you’ll figure it out. Next is the refugee crisis that is being caused by climate change all you have to do is stop using fossil fuels or other products that damaging our atmosphere. I really hope you will listen. 

 

Our Wonderful World By James

 

We live in a wonderful world with nature surrounding us, but this is not our world! We should nurture it and look after it. We share it with lots of people from all around the world in different countries, all different in their own way. 

The creatures that we share it with have more rights to be here and have been for thousands of years – we are destroying their habitats – every tree that is being cut down is destroying life for these animals. Humans are controlling this and the animals are helpless. 

We need to nurture it and take care of it for them and our own future lives. 

We need to teach and educate people so we can make a difference in this world so we can keep it beautiful – I feel lucky to be on it. 

 

 

Our Wonderful World by Zoe

The world is a beautiful place but it doesn’t belong to us. We didn’t make the Earth so the Earth don’t belong to us so we must not destroy something that doesn’t belong to us but we are still continuing to destroy it.

 

The Earth belongs to the people who got on here first, the animals. The animals have lived here for years and years they had been living happily until the human came along. We slaughtered and destroyed their habitats and we call ourselves the good people. We are threatening the Earth, we are putting everyone in danger. 

 

The trees give us oxygen and we breathe in them to stay alive but we are cutting them down and reducing the oxygen and oxygen keeps us alive. Animals also live in the trees so we are also putting animals to extinction for example if we made an animal go extinct and there is another animal that their diet was the animal that was extinct, we are starving them to death until they die and go extinct. That is just cruel, starving animals until they die. 

 

it is scary thinking that one day all the animals might go extinct and no one will be on the Earth. A lot of animals have gone extinct and some due to deforestation and a lot of other reasons. I don’t think that you want your children to live in this world where animals are going extinct, climate change, deforestation and killing animals. 

 

Our Wonderful World – by Thomas

If we don’t act now, we won’t be able to revive our planet, so we need to stop cutting trees down. How dare you slowly cut away the lungs of the planet as if you are a virus slowly claiming the life of a dying man. If we don’t act now and stop being lazy by not planting trees after the trees we cut down, we will make our world crumble and die. I shouldn’t be here trying to tell the world that you're ruining the generations of lives but because of your lazy tree cutters and the leaders by not planting trees you're ruining the life of the young. Right now, if we don’t put a stop to this, we could end up destroying our planet.

 

Our Wonderful World By Isobel B

Our wonderful world isn't a wonderful world anymore. Climate change is a bad thing and nobody likes it. But you won't do anything to change it will you. There are so many bad things in the world and they need to stop. I am going to tell you about why this SHOULD stop NOW and FOREVER. You ask why this should stop. Well, this crisis needs to stop it is endangering our earth and making it an unhappy misery world. 

DEFORESTATION 

This paragraph is all about deforestation. I don’t like animals being hurt by deforestation. Animals are just trying to have a nice life but you are ruining it by making people burn and cut down trees. Imagine if you were an animal in danger. This also leads to forest fires and bush fires. We need the amazing world back not the horrible world it is. Deforestation leads to animals dying and the poor animals do not deserve this. What have they ever done to you? Nothing. So why do this to them? This is not right and the world doesn't need more disasters happening.  

 

FLOODING 

I am now speaking to you about flooding. We have read a book called Foodland and this is a glimpse of our upcoming future. Would you like to have a flooded world and live on a tiny boat forever? Would you? I do not appreciate how you are treating this world. This world is not supposed to be a dump land it's supposed to be a nice happy world. Do you know why this is happening. Well, I'll tell you it's all because you don’t bother to help the world from stopping this. Poor animals and humans are being killed from all the water because they have drowned. People have had to leave their homes and travel on boats to find somewhere safer to go. Sometimes the sea is so strong people drown.  

POLLUTION 

This paragraph is all about pollution. Pollution is making all sea animals extinct because they are eating all the plastic in the sea and then they choke on it and sadly they die. Imagine if you were a turtle and someone dropped some plastic and you ate it and choked. I appreciate everyone who is helping but that isn't a lot of people. More people need to start acting and stopping this. 

 

I hope you will stop this happening. It is bad and it needs to go. How dare you let this happen! This has been going for millions of years and the world has coped with it and it has not ever given up. You have not bothered to stop this and you are living on this world. 

 

Our Wonderful World by Evie De

You are terrible people and how dare you make this world like what it is now. We need to stop everything in the world like climate change, deforestation, pollution etc: But what I am going to be talking about today is climate change.  

Climate change is all about sea levels rising, cutting down trees and most importantly the carbon dioxide problems. I shouldn’t be here right now writing this because this shouldn’t be happening to the world and It should have stopped a long time ago. The world has had to cope with this for a number of years and I am sure the good people in this world will want this to end.  

This world is supposed to be a magical paradise but that idea has been destroyed by you. We would love to see the amazing memories that we can keep and remember forever, but at this rate there will only be bad memories of people dying and having devastating diseases that will change their life for eternity.  

I would like to see this world be turning into a sweet wonderland and I am very grateful for everyone who is helping climate change stop.  

 

Our Wonderful World  by Iris

Our world is beautiful, and we need to keep it that way, but global warming is breaking it up, tearing it apart, bit by bit. We need to stop this. Since you have been listening to me, 4000 – on average – barrels of oil have been extracted, enough to fill 1.3 Olympic pools, and rising rapidly, this is a disgrace. In 2019, we were off the scale of how much fossil fuels we used, totalling at 137,762 TWh.  

It is terrifying to think that maybe for future generations, they will have nowhere to call home, such powerful people as yourselves could surely put a stop, if not help this horrible reality.  

 

Our Wonderful World by Ruby

Plant earth is a stunning place to live and the human race is lucky to live here. However...We do not own the earth and we should look after it as we would like to be treated, with love, kindness and perfection. We should treasure our plant before it is too late to keep any memories and it could all end thank to pollution, global warming, and climate change. These three things are all done by us humans and we need to stop. Our world has a variety of habitat and animal life. I am here today to tell you that our planet is under a huge threat that could cause worse things than a little paper cut, Much worse. 

Millions of trees get cut down each year which mean animal lose their habit/home and we lose more trees to help us survive. Things could get out of hands and if we are going to change it then we need to change it sooner or later. 

Hundreds and thousands of animals are dying every year which brings the to extinction or closer to extinction. Not only are we losing some special flora and fauna, we are also damaging our ecosystems. We need everyone on this very earth to help before it is to late! 

 

Our Wonderful World by Heidi

Deforestation! 

Everyone thinks it’s fake, but if we keep carrying on like this then we are going to die let me explain; We only need a little bit of carbon dioxide we can’t have too much otherwise we will die, we need a lot more oxygen. However, the trees need carbon dioxide in order for them to live so they take in all that carbon we don’t need; and they produce oxygen which is what we need. By cutting down those trees they can’t take in Carbon dioxide; which means all that carbon is in the air and because there’s no trees they can’t take it in and produce oxygen for us. 

 

I haven’t even started on the animals! The number of animals you are killing is unbelievable; imagen the sadness they are having those trees were their homes and I can’t believe you even try and dare cut them down! To be honest I don’t even know how you have got a life! I can’t wake up in the morning and just to decide that I am going to ruin an animal's home and habitat, how do you even do it? 

 

We need to put an end to both these reasons I just can’t get it round my head! Please consider my speech! 

Thank you
