I think that Al Gore’s speech continued very long time and very interesting which http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8847562857479496579. I like two parts of paragraph from his speech, where he used idioms, aphorism, comparison and slide show.
First paragraph is where he started talking about his teachers, which was true story. He said “I had a grade school teacher who taught geography by pulling a map of the world down in front of the blackboard. I had a classmate in the sixth grade who raised his hand and he pointed to the outline of the east coast of South America, and he pointed to the west coast of Africa, and he asked, "Did they ever fit together?" And the teacher said, "Of course not! That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard." That student went on to be a drug addict and a never do well. That teacher went on to be a science advisor in the current administration. What gets us into trouble is not what you don’t, it’s what we know for sure that just ain’t so. (Mark Twain)/06.07 minutes/.
Most people don’t like to listen long speech about political issues. But Al Gore used strategy that he talked about between conversations his classmate and his teacher when he was on 6th grade on his speech. When he talked this story, people were funny.
Second paragraph is “But ladies and gentleman, in the next 50 years it’s going to continue to go up. When some of these children who are here are my age, here’s where it’s going to be in less than 50 years. You’ve heard of off to chart” (idiom) 22.30 minutes/ He used computer animation on his speech, specially he showed keynote graphic and he went up by electric ladder when he was talking about second paragraph. It was so exotic because people realize we should be fighting for climate change.
