WX&KH: Ladies and gentlemen, many of you should have heard of Singlish. This form of speech is often associated with degenerate terms. Why do you hate what makes us Singaporean? Is it fair to depise this language just because it is created by our own people? We have gathered today to right this wrong - to gain approval for the language of Singapore, Singlish.
KM: Singlish is the unity factor of Singapore as Singlish consists words in English, Chinese and Malay, which represents our multi-racial society. This will bring us closer to our friends of a different race as we would be able to understand them better. Additionally, Singlish have become a first language for most Singaporean teenagers. So, no matter how the government discourages the use of Singlish, it was Singlish that allowed the people of Singapore to bond together as one united people.
AA: Singaporeans feel better communicating in Singlish than in proper English. They understand each other better when they communicate in Singlish. They even use certain words such as "lah", "orh" and "cheh" to convey their unhappiness over matters. Whenever a Singaporean speaks, he naturally utilities at least one Singlish word in each of his sentence.
NL: Many people overlook the fact that Singlish is one of the most powerful factors that distinguishes us. Yes, one might argue that it is not proper. But Singlish, it is already widely established by our own people that it is part of our culture. This is something Singapore can actually be recognized for. Singlish reigns over all the other languages of Singapore. The Sweden have their Swedish, the France have their French - Singlish is what Singaporeans created for themselves, and it deserves to be an official language, not to be judgementally looked down upon as the nonsense of the street kids.

A fairly good work with topic sentences and many relevent points. Introducition was clear and the focus was alright, though i felt was a little side-tracked by wanting it to be made an official language. There is proper thesis statement in the first paragraph. Topic sentences present in every paragraph, but some are not straight to the point, as it has multiple points in each paragraphs. The concluding statement does link with the topic sentence.

There is a proper thesis statement and proper focus. There is one topic for each paragraph and the elaboration is focused on the topic sentence. But each paragraph does not link to each other.

1.Intro:it was really welldone and the intro portrays the topic well.the audience is also clear to us that they are talking to a group of singaporeans.The thesis statement is also clear cut and powerful.
2.Topic sentences:all the topic sentences is clear cut and link back to the topic of singlish being a language.
3.the elaboration is very focused on the topic sentence.however in some of the paragraphs,like what KM did the elaborations is swaying from multi-racial to first language for teenagers in singapore.
4.one paragragh contains only one topic and is straight to the point.
5.Many of the concluding statement links quite well to the topic sentence,thus a job well done.
