Should dangerous sports be banned??

Well dangerous sports shouldn't be banned because of the fact that people would like to have a challenge or even take a risk.  Dangerous sports IE base jumping or running with the bulls are all dangerous and very scary but it also gives people the chance to have a go at something new to do or try. I reckon that dangerous sports should not be banned because people can risk themselves if they want to do it and to give it a go.

Risk/Challenge speeches

Speeches,Speeches, speeches. I hate them! I had to do a speech about something starting with s. When I heard that we were doing speeches, I felt nervous and scared. I had about 1-2 weeks to plan and practice my speech. We all had to do a speech. It was a real challenge for me because of the fact that I was bad at writing speeches and presenting them.

I didn't know what to do for my speech. Then I thought why not do it about ships. So I went on the internet and searched up facts about ships. After a week or 2, my speech was ready to present to my school. I felt nervous. I already could see what it would be like in my head. I also had sweat crawling down my face just  thinking about it. Then it was speech time and I had to go first!! Yayyyy…Not!!!

When they called  out my name I felt butterflies in my stomach and my knees were wobbling. Everyone was looking at me while I was walking up to the stage . Then I started. First I went quiet and my throat when dry like the grass in Africa. I could barely breathe, but I managed to start talking but softly. I then started to get louder. Everyone was looking at me like “what the hell is he on about?” and “why are you telling me this when I already know this?”

While I was doing my speech, I mucked up a lot. Everyone noticed, and I got to nervous to talk anymore. That nervous that I nearly fainted. But I kept trying and went to finish off my speech. I thought I was finished but instead I had 2 more cards left. I was saying to myself in my head to keep going soon. It'll be finished then someone else can do theirs but it was no use at all. I still felt sick and nauseous.

Finally, I was finished. I was sweating like a  pig. The butterflies in my stomach wear gone  and I could breathe again. My throat was still dry but It was going away slowly. On the way down from the stage on the stairs, I tripped and fell off the stairs and completely embarrassed myself. I looked up and everyone was laughing and pointing at me. Even the teachers were laughing! I was embarrassed. My face was red like the sunburnt I had in the weekend.

From that day forward  I promised myself to never do speeches again, but if I did then I would be careful walking down the stairs and make sure I know my speech of by heart
