Kiwi · 11-16-2012

I'm writing a speech for school, and it's supposed to be 2-3 minutes (I'm going for 3). If you're talking at an average speed, how many words do you think a 3 minute speech would have? I'm up to 1081 (about a third in, I think), and I'm guessing I really need to cut down, but I'm not sure to what.
