This is the writen form of my speeh- Te Reo Maori should be compulsory in NZ school.

1.What would New Zealand be like with no one talking maori.

Do you reckon that te reo māori should be compulsory? Well I say yes hearing our young tamariki korero the reo of our ancestors is very inspiring, especially for me.

2. Did you know Te Reo, is an Eastern Polynesian language? spoken by the Maori people, the native population of New Zealand.

3. Since 1840, and that was when the treaty of waitangi was signed it has been one of New Zealand's official languages since then.

4. In the past years the Māori language has not really been taught around new zealand schools. At the beginning of the 19th century it was the strongest language spoken in New Zealand.  As more English speakers arrived in New Zealand, the Māori language was increasingly confined to Māori communities.  By the mid-20th century there were concerns that the language was fading away.also we should hold on to our tikanga and our taonga that no one can take from us.

5. The one way we can save our language and keep it alive is if we speak it daily and learn it well we are still young.Otherwise our language slowly die.

That's why i  believe Te Reo Maori should be compulsory in New zealand school

7.   Honestly I have no reasons against why Te Reo Māori shouldn’t be compulsory in New Zealand school.        

wait there a second I have an idea what if Pakeha might think that we're talking bad about them what if the chinese think that we're talking bad about them. This isn't good enough.some of the other cultures might think that we have to learn there language before they learn ours. The other cultures might think we're talking about them. So people lets make a change in our school. .
