Answer:
A good rate to speak is about 150 two syllable words per minute (four syllable words count as two words). So a 4-5 minute speech should be around 600-700 words or about two typed pages. If you using slides or power point then about 400 words will be enough. The more you prepare the better you will be. If you nervous you will tend to speak faster so remember to speak clearly and not too fast.
