8 - national & state - get away - enjoy nature Outline A. People go to national and state parks to get away from noise and enjoy the sounds of nature. Notes Speech as Delivered “When most of us go to a national or state park, we want to get away from the noise of urban life. We want to enjoy the soothing sounds of nature. We want to hear birds singing and the wind rustling the leaves. We want to hear the whisper of nature—not the roar of cities.”
