objective
You have been elected as the head prefect of your school. Write a persuasive speech of 150‑200 words to convince the student body to adopt a new recycling programme. Your speech must: (i) begin with a rhetorical question, (ii) include at least two rhetorical devices (e.g., anaphora, antithesis, rhetorical question, parallelism), and (iii) end with a call‑to‑action that uses inclusive language such as "we" or "our".
Answer Options
A.
Friends, imagine a campus where every piece of plastic vanishes like magic. Our future depends on the choices we make now. By placing bins in each classroom, we can reduce waste. I ask you to sign the petition for the recycling programme. Join us in this effort.
B.
Recycling is essential for our school. It helps the planet and saves resources. Please support the new programme by using the bins provided. Together we will succeed.
C.
Do you think we can ignore the trash piling up in our hallways? As a prefect, I urge you to think about the environment. Recycling is good because it reduces waste and saves money. If we each bring a reusable bottle, the school will look cleaner. Let's make a difference today.
Correct Answer
D.
Do you ever wonder why our school's corridors are littered with plastic bottles while the planet cries for help? Today I stand before you not just as a prefect, but as a fellow student who cares about our future. First, consider the simple truth: every bottle we recycle saves energy, reduces landfill, and protects wildlife. Second, think of the ripple effect—when one class adopts the programme, the whole school follows, just as a single stone creates expanding circles in a pond. Moreover, recycling teaches responsibility, teamwork, and pride in our community. Imagine a campus where waste disappears, replaced by the fresh scent of reclaimed paper and the quiet hum of recycling bins being emptied responsibly. This is not a distant dream; it is within our reach if we act together. So let us pledge, today, to bring our own reusable bottles, to sort waste correctly, and to inspire others. Together, we can turn waste into wonder—let's start now.
