Topic: Speech Writing

Please write the notes in your English Register .

Speech

A Speech is a formal talk that a person delivers to his audience. It must have the capacity to
hold the attention of the audience with a proper choice of words, expressions and
examples. At the same time care should be taken not to deviate from the main subject. You
must keep in mind that it is a speech and you need to begin the draft with addressing the
audience and conclusion should be with a sentence thanking the audience.

Remember:

WHO you are writing the speech for (i.e., who your audience is).
WHAT your speech is going to be about (its topic) and the main points in order of
importance.

♦ Note:
It is important to note that the written speech should consist of small sentences having not
more than 10 to 12 words in a sentence.

♦ Value Points:

 Greet your audience and introduce the topic you are speaking on.
 The introduction part of the speech is the most important part.
 It is this part which decides the impact of the speech.
 Do not give a separate title for the speech.
 Keep in mind, as already stated, the occasion of the speech and the nature of the
audience.
 The introduction should not be very lengthy.
 The main topic should be taken up as quickly as possible.
 Use concrete terms and tangible examples.
 Avoid abstract phrases which are quite vague.
 Use simple and familiar language.
 The conclusion plays a very important role in the success of a speech.
 Give your own conclusion on the topic in a telling manner.
 Write ‘Thank you’ at the end of your speech.

Sample Question

Q-You are Ankit/Ankita. You have to deliver a speech on the topic “Education Gives Power”
in your school’s morning assembly. Write your speech in 120 words.

A very good morning to respected Principal ma’am, teachers and my dear friends. Today, I ,
Ankit am here to present my views on the topic “Education Gives Power”. Education
provides us knowledge. It trains our mind and sharpens our skills and abilities.

Education refines our tastes and temperaments and builds our thought process. Vocational
courses help young people to earn and learn together. They provide means of earning
livelihood and open the route to employment. Professional courses, as is evident from the
name itself, equip us for adopting various professions. Some of these highly skilled
professionals seek placements or jobs in esteemed companies and business concerns. Thus
education is important for our survival. Decent living is impossible without good income or
high salary. Education improves the quality of our life and frees us of superstition, foolish,
meaningless mind-blocks and rituals. If women are educated the whole family benefits as
the food is hygienically prepared, children are healthy, well-mannered and disciplined.
Education gives us power over our environment. We can control the situation and shape our
destiny.

Education spreads awareness among people and gives them freedom from social ills. It
makes people independent by providing them means to learn their living. They become
responsible citizens and realise their rights and duties. In short, education gives one power.
Thank you.
