There are types of approaches
used in choosing a topic, such as
using your own experiences,
discussing with your family
members, relatives or friends,
listing, free writing, or asking
questions.
Narrowing down a topic is

speech. The following are some

experience to your subject.

your point
The body of the speech provides details,
examples, or explanations that can help
you deliver your purpose and explain the
main idea of your speech. The body of
your speech should only have one main
idea. The following are some strategies.

Present comparison
Show statistics or data
The conclusion provides a summary, emphasizes
the message, and calls for attention.
Furthermore, it aims to leave the audience with
a memorable statement.
The following are some strategies.

Use encouraging words, positive examples or


memorable lines from songs, movies, or
advertisements familiar to your audience.
Start your conclusion with a restatement of your
message.
Ask a question/s that can make your audience
reflect or ponder.
Editing and Revising your written
speech involves correcting errors
in mechanics, such as grammar,
punctuation, capitalization, unity,
coherence etc. Andrew Dlugan
(2003) lists six principles for
speech editing (edit for focus, for
clarity, for concision, for
continuity, for variety, for impact
and beauty)
Rehearsing provides you an
opportunity to identify what works
and what does not work for you and
for your target audience.
The following are some strategies.
Read your speech aloud
Do recording for your own analysis
or for peers or coaches to give
feedback on your delivery.
Keep on practicing your speech for
the best result.
