Scotland Persuasive Speech

Improved Essays
You may have seen the adverts on TV, you may have heard gossip from friends, wherever you heard it first, Scotland is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe and it's not hard to see why. Most people conjure up an instant image of Scotland in their minds. For me, it's a mixture of the Loch Ness Monster, tartan and bagpipes. What comes into your mind when you think about Scotland? There is a lot more Scottish iconic imagery, such as shortbread, mountains, cashmere, whisky, castles and golf. There's also quite a big royal connection in Scotland, with the Queen owning several official royal residences there, like the famous Balmoral.

If you're lucky enough to already live in Scotland, you may have already visited many of its majestic

For most other people residing in Europe, Scotland is only a short plane journey away. There are several international airports in Scotland, the main ones being Glasgow Airport, Edinburgh Airport, Prestwick Airport, Aberdeen Airport and Inverness Airport. Cheap flights are in abundance today; the major cheap airlines operating from Scottish airports are RyanAir, easyJet and bmibaby but check for others before making a flight booking. To make the most of your stay in Scotland, I recommend motorhome hire and I shall explain why. I think the concept is remarkable: combining accommodation with transport is a winning idea. If you live in Europe and own a motorhome, and have several weeks or months to spare, you can try driving all the way up to Scotland. The English Channel is easy to cross by ferry or by using the high-speed Eurotunnel line. Most people, though, don't own a motorhome or, if they do, they don't get the chance to take enough time of work and other commitments in order to enjoy such a leisurely tour. There is a solution though, in the form of motorhome hire. It works just like the rental of a holiday cottage or apartment and

    Today I was told by a source close to the University of Texas that Notre Dame quarterback Transfer Malik Zaire is no longer considering Florida. Originally I had thought Malik Zaire was postponing to wait for the SEC to possibly change a rule that would allow Zaire to transfer to Florida and play right away. It now appears that Malik Zaire is looking to graduate and then he will announce where he will go. - Zaire Top Schools - Texas Longhorns Wisconsin Badgers Technically the University of Florida still has an opportunity to land Malik Zaire, either way Florida will be fine at the quarterback…

Depressed and hungry, he searches for a rare telephone booth, that he hopes will be in working order.

    I am writing to you on the basis of your new policy of “Stopping the boats”. I believe that it is highly unethical that one should restrict the access of another human being, who is displaced by means of war or poverty into the Australian border. The concerns I am raising are thematically paralleled in the Australian National Anthem “ For all who’ve come across the seas we’ve boundless plains to share”. Why must this policy dictate entry access to our nation if it is indicatively stated that we have “Boundless place to share”?…

    There were 61 people per each Kilometer squared over all of Scotland. You might think that was only a tiny amount, but most of the terrain in Scotland is mountains and not much flat ground for people to live. In Glasgow the area is 175.5 kilometers squared and in the whole of Scotland the area is 78,387 kilometers squared. That means that there was about 5128 people per kilometer squared.…

    Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matthew 7:13,14 Every day God's salvation draws nearer, which means we must be more diligent and persevering in our walk with the Him. We do not have the "luxury of time" to be consumed, preoccupied, or even fatigued in our day-to-day responsibilities that we become distracted to what God wants to accomplish in each of our lives and in His church! We are nearing the day of the "coming of our Lord and Savior," which signifies the need to pick-up our pace so that we will finish our earthly race and hear our Lord proclaim, "Well done thou good and faithful servant..."…

    After reviewing my persuasive speech over why the University of Oklahoma is the best university in the nation, I would sum up my speech as a little bit of train wreck. Although I made good claims with factual evidence, the amount of stuttering I did, and all the times I was choked up throughout the speech drew my audience’s attention away. From this, I lost my audience’s belief that I was competent of the information I was reiterating to them. At the introduction of my speech I believe I started out fairly strong and gave a good run down of the coming speech.…
