Hello, dear friends. My students would like to participate in the English language competition in public speaking for secondary school students.There are two branches - poetry and prose. Speech should last 4 - 6 minutes. Can you help me with the selection of suitable literary extracts? Thank you for your help.

Hi ivuspan,

once my student won such a competition thanks to Remember by Christina Rossetti:

http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/174266

On the day of the contest she put on some suitable clothes, she looked like a women from the Pre-Raphaelite paintings, with flowers in her hands and her recitation was done emotionally (to certain extend, I mean she didn �t exaggerate), in communion with her visualisation. As I wrote my MA thesis on Pre-Raphaelites i took care of all the details. You can also try, just you need to read a bit on the movement and have a look at their art.

Pre-Raphaelite women:
