Really need help with my speech which is due tomorrow!!!!!!?

Really need help with my speech which is due tomorrow!!!!!!? i have to do a speech on pele so here it i Pele was a very famous football/soccer player who was born on the 23rd of October 1940. Pele grew up in a very poor family in Tres Coracos, Brazil. Pele is just a nickname for Edson Arantes Do Nascimento which is why he was given this nickname since he has such a long name. Growing up his parents and friends called him ‘Dico’. He first learned the game football from his dad ‘Dondinho’ who was a centre forward until his career came to an end with a fractured leg. Pele began playing when he was a young boy for a local minor team, when he wasn’t playing he was shining shoes for pennies. He was first discovered at age 11 by one of the countries premier players, Waldemar de Brito. Waldemar took Pele to Sao Paulo and said, ‘This boy will be the greatest player in the world’. He was right! Pele had an immediate impact, in his first game he scored a goal right away at age 16! Pele went on to four world cups with his national team Brazil. Pele was an average sized man but blessed with speed, balance, excellent vision, being able to control a ball superbly, being able to shoot powerfully and accurately with either foot and head. Some wealthy European clubs offered large amounts of money to sign the young Brazilian but the government of Brazil declared him an official national treasure to prevent him being transferred out of the country. Pele said ‘My father was a footballer who once scored 5 goals in a single game all with his head, a record I was never able to beat’. Pele’s statistics are astounding scoring 1,280 goals in 1,360 games second to Arthur Friedenreich who scored 1,329 goals. Pele holds the record for hat tricks scoring 92 in his career. His statistics are even more mind blowing compared to today’s players who struggle to score 30 goals in a season. Pele played for Santos for most of his career retired and then came out of retirement to play for the New york cosmos. Pele in many ways was a complete athlete, with superb skill and agility he could dribble around defenders with ease. Many people regard pele as the best ever player to live. When pele came out of retirement to play for the New york cosmos he became the highest ever paid player but he said he did not do it for the money but to make football truly popular in the United states. Pele, whose nickname does not mean anything, became a Brazilian national hero and was also known as Perola Negra (Black Pearl). His best season was 1958, when he scored 139 times. When pele was young he played with a sock stuffed with newspaper or a coconut as a ball. It took him twelve years to save up enough money to by a real ball. When Pele was at school he was expelled in grade 4 for skipping school to play football in a nearby park. Since he was so poor the only other type of entertainment was to play street football in his neighbour hood with a coconut and bare feet. During his career many players tried to break his legs because he was so good and wanted to put him out of the competition one time during a world cup he walked off crying because he couldn’t stand it.

Growing up his parents and friends called him ‘Dico’." This football star's given name is Edson Arantes Do Nascimento. Having such a long name provided him many nicknames, including Dico and Pele "Pele began playing when he was a young boy for a local minor team, when he wasn’t playing he was shining shoes for pennies" As a young boy, he was employed as a shoe-shine boy, earning only pennies for his services.

You could organize it just a little more. You can organize it chronologically. Anything to do when he was young should be in the beginning not in the beginning and then again in the end. Then just stop redoing it and just practice your presentation. Maybe have a nice picture of Pele to show and a picture of him in game action. If you can wear the type of uniform they wear in the game and carry the ball with you, that would really be creative! Good Luck! 3 : I assume you are going to read all this out so I wont correct your grammar becasue you'll do that yourself tommorrow. The only crticisim I would make is the order in which you provide certain types of information. That is; - put the bit about Pele meaning nothing up the top where you are discussing his nicknames. - put the bit about how he practised as a kid somewhere up near the top so that as you read the story unfolds rather then doubles back for information about the early years. - be a bit careful about using words that are lifted about of books. There is nothing wrong with saying his stats were "astounding" if that is your real words but they sound like you took them out of a book. Also the phrase "Pele in many ways". Just rephrase in your own words if you nicked the idea. Good Luck! Why is Brazil a good example of an Middle Income C... My girlfriend is an illegal from Brazil.
