 What is a speech
Definition: a formal address or discourse delivered to an audience.
Speech vs Debate:
The most obvious difference between the two forms of
address is, a speech follows one opinion, while a debate is between two
people on two opposing sides. Each side of the debate gives an opposing
opinion. ... A speech on the other hand gives one opinion, or views, on a
topic that is presented to an audience.
 Writing a speech
• Step 1: Decide of the topic and aims of your speech.
• Step2: Outline your speech’s structure. What are the main
ideas/opinions/points that you will tell your audience.
• Step 3: Think of facts, figures, and examples to support your ideas or
opinions
• Step 4: Think about the conclusion. It must restate your main points or
ideas and final idea you want to leave your listeners with.
• Step 5: Come up with some good ideas to start the speech. Give your
listeners information about the topic and what you are going to do.
• Step 6: Your speech should have a title; an introduction; a middle or body;
a conclusion.
