The Queen’s speech – inspiring a kingdom in just 4-1/2 minutes
On Sunday April 5, 2020 Queen Elizabeth II spoke about coronavirus for 4-1/2
minutes, and about 520 words. You can read a transcript here. That time is at
the low end for a typical Toastmasters speech. Her brief presentation is an
excellent example of writing.
