Answer:
See explanation below
Explanation:
When you are giving a speech, you should take into account the audience that it is intended for.
In this case your audience is formed by elementary school students, so it is important to use basic vocabulary that it's easy to understand (remember that they are as young as 6 years old and they might not know the meaning of more sophisticated words)
This excerpt could be adapted to this audience by changing the word "annals" which is a word they might not know the meaning of to another one that is more appropriate for this age and easier to understand. Also, you could change the word "applaud" to "thank" (for the same reasons)
As a side note, you can also add a "Hello" at the beginning to make it sound more friendly.
This is how it would be:
Hello!
Welcome to this evening's performance of The Tale Missy May. I would like to thank these students for the hard work they put in to make this play one of the best in the history of this school!
