is this sentence ok?

You should compress your speech into 5 minutes.
I feel it should be converted into " You should compress The Length of your speech into 5 minuates."
Am I right?

I think your conversion is better than the original. You could also say 'You should limit your speech to 5 minutes.

I like "You should compress the length of your speech into 5 minutes" better. However, please watch your spelling and your punctuation. The words "the" and "length" do not need to be capitalized, and also the word "minutes" was misspelled, but good job, otherwise.
