Introduction – it must be interesting so that you catch the listener’s attention. E.g. “This is a man who gave his life for the independence of his country” (Mahatma Gandhi).

Ways of introducing your speech:
Guessing games, something that concerns everyone, something private, something remarkable, something provocative etc.

Body – should be well structured. Remember to link the paragraphs with linking words, e.g. however, although etc.
Use the triad – divide your body into three parts (e.g. three arguments).

Conclusion – Conclude with e.g. a summary, thought for the future, your own opinion appeal, prediction, answer etc.
E.g. “According to me Johnny Cash was and always will be the greatest musician in history”.

Preparation: FOPPA
Finding – facts, arguments
Organizing – plan your speech
Phrasing – simple, short and to the point!
Preserving – in your memory
Action – the actual presentation (practise doing it a few times – think about your voice, intonation, body language, pace and pauses.

Decide what information to include in your speech. Adapt it to the amount of time you are given. Write key words. Practise it till you can deliver your speech with your keywords. Take the time so that you are sure that it fits the timeframe.
