PERSUASIVE

INFORMATIVE

Every speech has three

parts:

Introduction (the opening

of speech)
Body (the middle or main
part of a speech)
Conclusion (the ending of
a speech)

Step 1: Preparing the body

of your speech
List the main headings

or subtopics related to
your subject.
Narrow down your list of
main headings

example

Having a Happy Marriage

Respect Your Spouses

Property
Always Be Courteous to
One Another
Give Honest Appreciation
Learn to Compromise

Order your main

headings logically
Try to organize your main
headings so that each
major points lead naturally
into the next one.

example

Applying for a
Finding the desired position
job:

Writing a resume
Scheduling appointments
Behavior during the personal
interview

Develop your main

headings

The main headings are the skeleton

upon which your speech will be built.
You must develop and support them.
If the main headings are properly
supported by factual information,
logical proof, and visuals, your
audience will understand and
remember your speech.

Step 2: Preparing the

Conclusion of Your Speech
The

conclusion will contain a

summary of what you spoke as
well as final remarks to end your
speech
gracefully.
A
good
summary reminds your audience
about what you said and helps
them
to
remember
your
information.

Example:
Before I finish, let me just

summarize the main points.

By way of conclusion, here
again are the most important
points
To sum up, then, the main
aspects of this are

Closing:
That concludes all I have to say on

the subject. I hope that I have given

you a clear picture of the problems
and opportunities.
Thank you again for giving me this
chance to speak to you, ladies and
gentlemen. I hope that you have
found the time well spent.

Step 3: Preparing the

Introduction to Your Speech
A good introduction ,

tells your audience that

your speech is going to
be interesting and worth
listening to.

Begin your speech with a

short, attention-getting
Example:
sentence.
It is a fact that slavery
exists in fifteen nations
of the world today.

The bridegroom took his new bride to a motel

where they spent two days. On the morning of
the third day he abandoned her and never saw
her again.
The bride was twelve years old. She was just a
child _ a child who got into a hasty and terrible
marriage.
Today I would like to inform you about a
national problem in the United States- child
marriages. This topic means a lot to me because
when I was eleven years old, my parents and I
moved from China to the United States. When I
was twelve, I became that child bride I just told
you about.

A good outline meets three

basic requirements:
Each idea must relate to and

help prove the main point

Each unit of the outline should
contain only one idea
Ideas should not be redundant
or overlap each other
