second and third- describe your topic and give some facts in detail.

fourth- have a closing and make sure you talked about everything about the topic and give a stating conclusion.

Hint: Use a thesaurus to change simple words to larger variety of voabulary. It makes you sound smarter and makes your essay sound like an “A”. but make sure you can pronounce them first.

A catchy starting line is good. make sure you have a begining middle and ending. Once you have got the ideas down say them out loud remember to talk slowly. Add a joke if the speech is a funny one or if it serious add in facts or ideas that make the listner think. Personal voice is good.

If you must “write” a speech, make sure you read it aloud to yourself, and preferably to someone else. This will ensure that the written speech sounds like something you would actually say. Keep it simple, short, and punchy. Use examples, anecdotes, statistics, and quotes to support and illustrate the points you want to make.

There should be an introduction that tells your listeners what your speech will be about … a body that develops your main and secondary ideas … and a conclusion to wrap things up.
