To conclude / To sum up, .... Urge people to vote for you. Act as an Algerian high school student (3rd Year Secondary / Baccalaureate level) preparing an English writing task for the unit "Ethics in Business". Write an election speech (public statement) based on the following task: "You want to be elected mayor of your town. Write a public statement in which you speak about your program to fight corruption and urge people to vote for you." Key Ideas to Cover: 1. Reinforcing laws and enforcing harder penalties. 2. Appointing honest and qualified civil servants. 3. Encouraging whistleblowing and protecting those who speak up. Speech Structure: - Greeting: "Dear citizens," - Opening: Explain why they are gathered today and express emotional dedication to the town. - Body: Present the anti-corruption plan clearly. - Conclusion: A strong, passionate call to action urging people to vote for integrity and change. Strict Guidelines: 1. Word Count: Strictly UNDER 250 words (aim for around 180–220 words). 2. Tone & Style: Highly persuasive, emotional, and human. It must sound like an authentic, passionate high school student delivering a real speech—NOT an AI bot. Keep sentences punchy and engaging. 3. Transitional Words (Linkers): Use natural linkers (e.g., "To begin with", "Moreover", "To conclude"), but DO NOT mechanically force all transition words in every paragraph. Select only what sounds natural, avoid awkward connectors like "On the other hand" where it makes no sense, and do NOT stack linkers together. 4. No Fluff/Fillers: Avoid empty clichés, robotic filler phrases, and overly grand academic vocabulary that high schoolers never use. Every sentence must have a purpose.
