Toast Speech Introduction I am the happiest person in the world today and being here at this dinner to celebrate the presidency of my friend Matteo is the biggest honor I can think of. I am glad that the guests are particularly numerous tonight and that Matteo didn’t forget anyone during his climb that led him to become president of the Italian Republic. With this speech I would like to pay tribute to a great man who made possible the impossible in my life and will make the possible impossible for the Country. Main Point One Matteo is a man full of positive energy, big dreams and plans. Ever since I first met him in junior high school, he is the best person I 've encountered, and if I could, I would have voted him twice. He is the perfect …show more content…

it pains me to admit it: between the two of us he was always the hardest worker, but I have been very good at hiding it. He has never pulled back when it came to serve the community. I remember when we helped together to repaint our school and than to clean the mess. I remember when we went to Sicily to work for ten days in a big farm confiscated from the mafia. We chose the hardest chore waking up every day at half past four in the morning after going to bed around three, to plow fields covered by stinging herbs with the only reward of an espresso and a brioche filled with lemon cream. How many experiences we spent together! From the tour of Austria by bike to the conquest of the highest peaks of the Alps. I never told him but i I made a huge effort to keep from crying when Matteo rolled down the mountain like a bag of potatoes breaking his shoulder. I remember when none of us wanted to quit soccer and beachvolley games just because the storm raged. I remember our pianistic competitions and our crazy discussions about physics problems that I used to win knowing that one day he would be better than me. And I was right!

  • Noah S. Sweat Speech Analysis

    479 Words  | 2 Pages

    Linguistics Being supposedly made up on the spot, Noah S. Sweat did not have time to compose an eloquent speech about a controversial topic. He instead spoke a purely unfactual and highly descriptive banter using doublespeak to voice his opinion of whiskey. Both sides of his argument include impactual adjectives to describe the drink. Or as Mr. Sweat would say on line 6, “the devil’s brew,” or on line 12, “the philosophic wine”. Each side of his argument is entirely one sentence long, implying that he emotionally fuels his speech as he works out his thoughts with the audience as one thought flows to the other.
