Answer 1

Keep it short & simple.  Be enthusiastic..something about the family, & home of the classmate, hobbies & why he/or she likes school.  Ask your audience to welcome your friend.

Answer 2

Make believe you are promoting this person to find him or her a date.

Answer 3

Well dont be scared just practice in the mirror . plus look at a really good friend during the whole speech .. :) it works for me

GOOD LUCK

Answer 4

organize it, make a beginning, middle and end.  don't just read a list.  memorize so you don't have to read notes.  watch your time.  make lots of eye contact and smile.  get some humor in there - make them laugh.  breathe, breathe, breathe
