Explanation:

Presenting a speech is an art unto itself. If you haven't done many of them before, it's tempting to write down everything you want to say in essay form and read it aloud. While you can fill an essay with facts and ask the reader to refer back to earlier or to re-read if they missed something, a speech is gone once the words are out of your mouth. A speech presentation should contain the exact details or information to be presented. An Essay may contain facts or information that are approximately related to the facts such that essay contents can be referred later with related references. But a story cannot be referred with references. It should contain the appropriate own information.
