Introduction: Topic Sentence (HOOK)
Because this is a speech, the topic has been transcribed (spread) over 4 sentences.
However, the best advice I ever got was from my teacherand school counselor. Theiradvice was one little three-letter word. This wordwas "yet." They told me to always putthe word "yet" at the end of my sentence. "I can'tdo it." "I can't do it ... yet." "I don'tunderstand." "I don't understand ... yet." The word"yet" makes me feel I just need to puta little more effort in before I understand it.
