What do you want to talk about?

I have to give a speech at school next Friday, and the theme is- something that can be divided into A or B.
And I decided on the topic and the content, so I want you to listen to it.


Hello, guys! Today I am going to give a speech about A or B, and I want you guys to guess the topic I prepared!

Hint 1: A________ or B__________

Hint 2: Some like A better, and others like B better.

The answer is....
American English or British English!!!!!!

(I will use a blackboard in the actual performance)

1. Alternative expression you can use: I’m giving a speech at school next Friday...
2. A dash is not needed in this context.
3. 'And' is unnecessary in this context. In addition, you should avoid starting a sentence with the conjunction 'And'.
Your introduction is fun and interactive, so your classmates will probably enjoy guessing the topic. Using the blackboard is also a nice idea. Which differences between American English and British English are you planning to introduce next?

Thank you. I'm planning to say BETTER in an American accent and British accent.
Let me continue my speech.
--------------
So, let's imagine there is a boy playing a sport called Quidditch. He is thirsty but he cannot drink because he's flying. So, please read this sentence.
-Harry Potter can't drink water.- (my classmates will read it in an American accent.)
No, it's
-Harry Potter can't drink water.- (In a British accent)
in Scotland where Potter lives.

So, which do you prefer, an American accent or British accent? (I'll call for a show of hands)

Thank you. I'm planning to say "BETTER" in an American accent and a British accent.
Let me continue my speech.

1. Quotation marks should be used when referring to a specific word.
2,3. Indefinite article 'a' is needed before the noun 'British accent'.
Your speech is becoming very lively and easy for classmates to join in. Using Harry Potter is a clever example because many students know the character well. I personally enjoy both accents, but British English feels very elegant to me. Are you planning to finish with your own favorite accent at the end of the speech?

There are some differences between these.
First, as I said, ACCENTS.
These words: water, direction, tomato
sound very different.

Also, spelling sometimes differs.
colour, centre, realise, jewelly

Even some words are different.
elevator/lift, chips/crisps, eraser/rubber

Lastly, there are some interesting differences in the way people express their feelings.
They tend to express themselves directly in American English. "OH MY GOSH!!! That's awesome!!!! You're amazing!!!"
On the other hand, British English is elegant. "Not bad.", "Brilliant.", "Lovely."

It's interesting to learn etymology when learning English.

BTW, there is another lovely kind of English,
JAPANESE ENGLISH.

SANKYUU FOO RISUNINGU TSUU MAI SUPIICHI!!!!!!!!

1. 'the two' was used instead of 'these' to more clearly refer to the two varieties of English (American and British).
2. This is the correct spelling.
3. It is better to use the full expression in a speech.
Your speech is creative, funny, and very engaging from beginning to end. The Japanese English ending will probably make your classmates laugh and remember your speech well. Which part of your speech do you feel most excited to perform in front of the class?

I think it's the beginning(the quiz) and the end(Japanese English).
I hope someone will figure out the topic, and will burst out laughing at my Japanese English.

自然な表現

I think the most exciting parts are the beginning (the quiz) and the end (Japanese English).
I hope someone will figure out the topic, and that everyone will burst out laughing at my Japanese English.

1. It is better to use this phrasing since you mentioned two parts, 'I think it's' would be used to refer to only one part.
2. This was added to make your sentence more natural and clear.
