speech jetpacks

Introduction

Vroom! Vroom! Vroom!  “What's that noise?” Little Charlie looks up into the sky to see what looks like an amazing small rocket strapped to his friend Tom’s back.  “Wow! That’s incredible!” he thinks. And he would be right! Yes, jetpacks are incredible!`` By the end of my speech you will be convinced that jetpacks are the best form of transport on Earth!

I guess now you would probably be thinking, why would people want to have jetpacks?  Well, here is your first reason is to think about: Jetpacks are a fast and easy way to travel.  If you travel by bus or car there could be a traffic jam and if you travel by ferry you can get seasick and there could be a storm.  A jetpack that travels at the speed of 120 km per hour can help you get there extremely fast.

Jetpacks are a fun and convenient way to travel.  When you are up in the sky you can have a very good view of what is happening down at the ground and of your trip.  Plus when you travel by jet pack, you don't need to follow the traffic rules or the speed limit.

Jetpacks are an enjoyable way to travel because you do not need to travel on Auckland’s Roads and you won't need to find any car parks.

Besides, if you travel by jetpack you would be very popular and you would be amazing.  You can also be amazing because the clothes you wear are gold and your boots have zigzags.  Your helmet will also have some very cool jetpack stickers on it. It will look like you have a small rocket strapped to your back.

Now stop wasting time on the couch and go buy a jetpack right now.  You will look cool and everybody will wish they were you! A jetpack will make your life so much more enjoyable and easier, don’t you want that?
