A five-minute speech is about 1000 words, 500 words if the speech speed is full, 600 words if the speech speed is normal, and 800 words if the speech speed is faster. Normal people generally have about 200 words per minute.

Note that the speech should be as clear-headed, logical and distinctive as an argumentative paper, but it is not an ordinary argumentative paper. This is a practical style with propaganda and incitement. It often uses various rhetoric and artistic techniques, and has a strong appeal.
