That depends on your reading speed... perhaps you should type 1 page and read that then figure it out?

1 page = aprroximately 2.5 minutes

Perhaps 3-4 pages*. It all depends on your speed, fluency and articulation.

I did one that went for 10 minutes 4 seconds and it was about 1600 words.
Wait, i'll check the word count. 1647, to be perfectly precise.
Good luck.

We don't actually get up to do our speeches anymore.
All we have to do is record it onto a CD or tape and hand it in.

that's shit, you should be graded on how well you can convey your point to a room of people.

plus it's kind of funny watching people break down when they have to do public speaking :).

I did about 1250 words in 5.5 minutes reading at ultra-sonic speed so... probably 900 words for 5 minutes, 1800 for 10. Depends on how nuch you need to fit in. A decent length essay, basically. I wish our time limit had been 10 instead of 5. I had to cut down my speech heaps.
