Häufiger Fehler:
Learners sometimes confuse 'oratory' with 'oratorio'. 'Oratory' is about public speaking; 'oratorio' is a large musical work, usually with a religious story. Learners also sometimes try to use 'oratory' as an adjective (e.g. *'an oratory speech'*); the correct adjective is 'oratorical' or you can say 'a speech full of powerful oratory'.
