Logos:

Good morning/afternoon mum and dad. Right now i would like to talk to you about something that is very close to my heart, which is foxtel. I believe that every kid in this civilized country called Australia, should be entitled to endless hours of shows that we don't really care about.
Foxtel is also a great way to learn things that you'll need through out life... like one day i'm sure i will need to know about the dietary intake of a primate that i can learn from the discovery channel...
Another great thing about foxtel is that because your paying for it you don't get those annoying adds about those rip off deals you can buy over the phone, which encourage you to spend more money as there cleaver marketing subconsciously  make you want to buy this product, and also you don't get those irritating political adds because to be honest, they don't change your mind as you will usually already know the party you want to vote for and all the other unnecessary adds make it just an irritating afternoon gathering with the family.
In conclusion, i believe that not getting foxtel would be a huge mistake, as it will make my grades drop dramatically throughout my subjects, and that it is a great life choice to make, as you can get it right now on a special deal with free installation!

Ethos:


Good morning/afternoon mum and dad. At this particular moment in our lives i would like to take the time to talk to you about why i believe that getting foxtel. In all honesty I miss the sense of acceptance in the peer society of this modern world we live in. I am unable to talk to my friends about shows that were on the other night, and in this I feel like I am in future not included in conversations about these shows which then lead to other things like parties as they all turn up in the same conversations, resulting in myself not being invited to in functions, leading to lack of popularity, self confidence fades away, and my friends are all closer to one another than to me.
I'm not just saying this as a 'what if', this happens to me all the time, and to be honest, i'm sick of it, and i believe that by getting foxtel, i will become a happy person throughout life!
As my argument comes to a close, I conclude with this one message that is present throughout my speech i have just told you. I believe that foxtel, will help me feel more accepted throughout my teenage life, were peer acceptance  is so important, and that it will dramatically increase my confidence level as a result of myself feeling more included.


Pathos:


Good morning/afternoon mum and dad. I have prepared this speech to persuade you to see eye to eye with me on a paricular topic I find very interesting, and this is the ever going debate about whether to get foxtel or not. Now i don't see why we have to let the paid tv channels, make us watch there stupid adds about things we couldn't care less about, and I don't see why we have to be limited to the free tv channels that are offered to us where we have no control over what we want to watch. We shouldn't sit back and let these big channel companies push us around just because we're not bothered to buy a measly fee once a month! We should stand up to these free tv programs and say, no we don't want your adds, and we want to watch things that we want to watch!
