Persuasive Speech On Ice Skating

Decent Essays
Hi All,

I don't know about you, but I'm feeling like we're at the point in the semester where it might seem to be dragging on a bit. I'm thinking floor ice skating this Friday night would be really fun!

The ice rink on campus is open on Friday for only UConn students from 8:00-9:00pm. I was thinking we could head over to the ice rink together, hang out for a bit, and then head back with enough time for you to still have the majority of the night ahead of you! Admission for UConn students is FREE and skate rentals are $5. I expect the entire activity (getting to the ice rink, ice skating, and returning to Buckley) will probably last from around 7:45-8:45 or so, and you could always leave early if you have something else going on.

Have no
