Public Speaking - Year 7 speech writing

Maisie in Year 7 has written a powerful speech on the theme of Kindness - really appropriate in the current climate.  Thank you, Maisie.  True words indeed:  

Kindness

The topic I have picked to talk about today is kindness. 

Kindness is a type of behaviour marked by acts of generosity, consideration or concern for others without expecting praise or reward. 

There are many ways of acting kindly towards others, such as: 

·        Being a good listener

·        Helping others

·        Simply smiling at someone

·        Treating people to gifts, or being generous

·        Giving honest compliments

Being kind has many benefits, including increased happiness and a healthy heart! 

Kindness and empathy help us to relate to other people and have positive relationships with frieds, family and even strangers. 

Kindness releases feel-good hormones; it boosts your serotonin which is responsible for feelings of satisfaction and well-being. 

Kindness eases anxiety. 

Kindness leaves a lasting impression on people. 

Kindness is good for your heart.  By being nice to others, it can affect the actual chemical balance in your heart. 

Kindness can significantly increase levels of happiness and reduce stress levels. 

Kindness is not something that demands hard work; it takes simple acts of doing no harm to others. 

Kindness is sharing the best part of our hearts with those around us. 

ALWAYS

be kind
