Careful planning, structuring, editing and re-editing will ensure a successful speech.
Brainstorm and plan ideas using a mind map, flow chart etc.
Content should suite audience and the level of language should be appropriate.
When researching a topic, avoid regurgitating chunks from the internet.

E.g. Write a speech of 2 – 3 minutes on the event which changed the world in your opinion.
1. TOPIC
![Page 16: ORAL COMMUNICATION](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052512/56816755550346895ddc0bef/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

List or use a mind map to identify all the aspects that need to be researched.
E.g. Information on the nature of the event; i.e. dates, specifics, historical figures, the functioning of society before, during and after the event etc.
That way you are aware of ALL the aspects that need to be covered in your speech.

Remember: Regard your speech as a holistic piece, but also as a holistic entity comprised of smaller building blocks.
Decide how many arguments/paragraphs/building blocks your speech must contain, depending on the length of the speech.
Critically review the arguments/paragraphs/building blocks which will most effectively support your conviction (main point).
Each argument/paragraph/building block must focus on one theme/topic/aspect.
3. WRITE

Write your arguments/paragraphs/building blocks i.e. THE BODY!
THEN write your introduction and conclusion.
The conclusion CONCLUDES what you have spoken about in your body, it brings everything together. Restate what you have discussed in your body and focus on the main point of your speech.
The introduction must captivate the audience, use some techniques mentioned earlier. However, do not use an introduction which does not connect with the main topic of your speech. Mention what the rest of your speech will contain.
