A speech of introduction (commemorative speech)

Prepare a commemorative speech of 4 to 5 minutes in length.
Your speech should pay tribute to a person (famous person who is dead or still alive).
The subject to which you pay tribute may be historical or contemporary or famous.
The speech should be written out.
You are strongly encouraged to use language imaginatively.
Commemorative speech should inspire the audience to arouse and heighten their appreciation or admiration of the person. Put your language, thoughts and emotions appropriate to the occasion.
In the introduction paragraph, you can get attention of the audience by posing questions or using a quotation. Try to be mysterious at first. In the body paragraph you can introduce the person’s achievement or characteristics or something special.
