Speech #3 Radicalism

Radical Speech #3 

Topic Eliminating cars 

Intro 

• The reason why I chose this topic is because my friend got into bad car accident. My friend hit another car when he was driving on the freeway. He got several terrible injuries, including broken his neck and arm. Also he paid lot of cost to repair his car. His accident changed my mind. Now in the U.S, 95 percent of American households have private cars.
