You can:

1. Ask a question – How many of you knows so-and-so?

2. Quote- Something to do with friendship… then continue about saying how this quote relates to your friend.

3. Joke- A friendship joke, or something related to your friendship

4. Fact- Ask the did-you-know question. E.g. Ladies and Gentlemen, did you know that… (a fact about friendship)…

The reason why you shoudn’t start boring is because people always judge the book by its cover. If you start slow and boring, people won’t continue listening…

What does friendship mean to you in general? What makes a good friend? And how does your friend meet these criteria?

If they know who you are talking about, find a detail from that person that the rest are not likely to know. “Fred once put 8 hard boiled eggs in his mouth on a dare. What does that tell you about Fred? Here’s what I have learned.” or “Susan has no brothers or sisters. Being an only child can be rough but listen to what she has done.”

This is not that hard; go for it!

You should be able to take it from there.
