﹝不幸誤闖‧枯燥乏味‧恕不負責﹞

-----------------------------------

When preparing a speech it is very important to know your audience. Who are they? Is your topic of interest to them? How much do they already know?

Steps

1.Organize your speech. Jot down the 3 or 4 main points you want your audience to remember.

2.Summarize each idea in a single clear sentence. Then group pertinent information, around each idea. Facts may be important to your topic, but stories involving real people will usually have a greater impact on your audience.

3.Write your speech. Use words and sentences that are short and clear. Don't clutter it with professional or technical jargon.

4.Write down your main points on 3x5 note cards.

5.Rehearse your speech. Time the delivery to match the minutes alloted.

6.Deliver your speech to your audience. Speak slowly and loudly. Stand in a relaxed manner with your feet slightly apart. Your hands should be at your side.
