Sample Public Speaking Scenario

Here's a possible public speaking scenario:

You've just opened a small web design business in your town, and you join the town Chamber of Commerce. As a result, you're invited to give a short, five-minute presentation at the next Chamber of Commerce meeting.

Coming up with a public speaking speech for the scenario described above could be a challenge if you've never written or given a public speech before. Fortunately, there are some speech-writing steps that you can use that'll make speech writing easier.

Let's use this example and walk through the steps for writing a speech.

7 Steps for Writing a Speech

The steps for writing a speech for public speaking are like the steps for writing a presentation in general. But at each stage of the writing process, you need to keep your audience in mind:

1. Research Your Audience

Whenever you do any type of writing you need to consider who you're trying to reach with your writing. Speech writing is no different. The more you know about your target audience, the more effective your writing will be.

In the example above, you know that your audience is going to be the other members of the Chamber of Commerce. They're likely to be small business owners just like you are.

Knowing your audience is important in great speech writing.

What to Do After You Research Your Audience:

Once you've defined your audience, you can gear your speech towards them. To do this, ask yourself questions like:

  • What does this audience need?
  • What problem can I solve for them?
  • Is there anything else I need to consider about my listeners?

In the example we're using for this tutorial, most small businesses in your town fit one of the following three situations:

  • They've got a website that works well.
  • They've got a website, but the design is outdated or doesn't work well.
  • They don't have a website.

2. Select a Topic

In this example your topic is already given. You've been invited to introduce your business. But you also know that the speech is going to be fairly short--only five minutes long.

While it's always a good idea to keep a speech focused, this is especially important for a short speech.

If I were writing the public speaking speech for the scenario we're working with, I'd narrow the topic down like this:

  • Create a list of the strengths of my business.
  • Compare the list of business strengths to the problems I observed with the other members' websites in the previous step.
  • Focus my presentation on the areas where my business strengths meet weaknesses (needs) of other Chamber of Commerce members.

Let's say that I noticed that quite a few members of the chamber have websites that use outdated fonts, and the sites aren't mobile-friendly. Instead of listing everything my web design business could possibly do, I'd focus my short speech on those areas where I observed a need.

You can use a similar process to narrow the topic down any time you need to write a speech.

Avoid the temptation of trying to cover too much information. Most people are so overwhelmed by the sheer amount of new data they receive each day that they can't keep up with it all. Your listeners are more likely to remember your public speaking speech if it's tightly focused on one or two points.

3. Research Your Topic

Research Your Topic

In the example we've been going over, you probably don't need to do a lot of research. And you've already narrowed your topic down.

But some public speaking situations may require that that you cover a topic that you're less familiar with. For more detailed speech writing tips on how to study your subject (and other public speaking tips), review the tutorial:

speech writing ppt

4. Write Your Speech

Once you've completed the steps above, you're ready to write your speech. Here are some basic speech writing tips:

  • Begin with an outline . To create a speech your audience will remember, you've got to be organized. An outline is one of the best ways to organize your thoughts.
  • Use a conversational tone . Write your speech the way you would normally talk. Work in some small talk or humor, if appropriate.
  • Use the speaker notes . Typically, speaker notes aren't seen by the audience. So, this is a good place to put reminders to yourself.
  • Be specific . It's better to give examples or statistics to support a point than it is to make a vague statement.
  • Use short sentences . It's likely you're not going to give your speech word for word anyway. Shorter sentences are easier to remember.

In this example scenario for the short speech we're preparing for the Chamber of Commerce, your outline could look something like this:

  • Introduction . Give your name and the name of your business. (Show title slide of website home page with URL)
  • Type of Business . Describe what you do in a sentence or two. (Show slide with bulleted list)
  • Give example of a recent web design project . Emphasize areas that you know the other businesses need. (Show slides with examples)
  • Conclusion.  Let the audience know that you'd be happy to help with their web design needs. Offer to talk to anyone who's interested after the meeting. (Show closing slide that includes contact information)
  • Give out handouts . Many presentation software packages allow you to print out your speech as a handout. For a networking-type presentation like the one in our example, this can be a good idea since it gives your listeners something to take with them that's got your contact information on it.

That simple speech format should be enough for the short speech in our example. If you find it's too short when you practice, you can always add more slides with examples.

If you've been asked to give a short speech, you can change the speech format above to fit your needs. If you're giving a longer speech, be sure to plan for audience breaks and question and answer sessions as you write.

5. Select a Presentation Tool

For most presentations, you'll want to use a professional presentation tool such as PowerPoint, Google Slides, or a similar package. A presentation tool allows you to add visual interest to your public speaking speech. Many of them allow you to add video or audio to further engage your audience.

If you don't already have a presentation tool, these tutorials can help you find the right one for your needs:

speech writing ppt

Once you've chosen a presentation tool, you're ready to choose a template for your presentation.

6. Select a Template and Finish

A presentation template controls the look and feel of your presentation. A good template design can make the difference between a memorable public speech with eye-catching graphics and a dull, forgettable talk.

You could design your own presentation template from scratch. But, if you've never designed a presentation template before, the result might look less than professional. And it could take a long time to get a good template. Plus, hiring a designer to create an original presentation template can be pricey.

Select a template that works for your presentation.

A smart shortcut for most small business owners is to invest in a professional presentation template. They can customize it to fit with their branding and marketing materials. If you choose this option, you'll save time and money. Plus, with a professional presentation template you get a proven result.

You can find some great-looking presentation templates at  Envato Elements  or  GraphicRiver . To browse through some example templates, look at these articles:

Even a short speech like the one we've been using as an example in this tutorial could benefit from a good tutorial. If you've never used a template before, these PowerPoint tutorials can help:

7. How to Make a Public Speech

How to Make a Speech

Now that you've completed all the steps above, you're ready to give your speech. Before you give your speech publicly, though, there are a few things you should remember:

  • Don't read your speech . If you can, memorize your speech. If you can't, it's okay to use note cards or even your outline--but don't read those either. Just refer to them if you get stuck.
  • Practice . Practice helps you get more comfortable with your speech. It'll also help you determine how your speech fits into the time slot you've been allotted.
  • Do use visual aids . Of course, your presentation template adds a visual element to your public speech. But if other visual aids work with your presentation, they can be helpful as well.
  • Dress comfortably, but professionally . The key is to fit in. If you're not sure how others at your meeting will be dressed, contact the organizer and ask.
  • Speak and stand naturally . It's normal to be a little nervous but try to act as naturally as you can. Even if you make a mistake, keep going. Your audience probably won't even notice.
  • Be enthusiastic . Excitement is contagious. If you're excited about your topic, your audience will likely be excited too.

In the example we're using in this tutorial (and with many public speaking opportunities), it's important not to disappear at the end of the meeting. Stick around and be prepared to interact individually with members of the audience. Have answers to questions anyone might have about your speech. And be sure to bring a stack of business cards to pass out.

5 Quick Tips to Make a Good Speech Great (& More Memorable)

After reading about the basics, here are some more tips on how to write a great speech really stand out:

1. Have a Strong Opening

A strong presentation opening will make your presentation more memorable.

Start your speech with a strong opening by presenting surprising facts or statistics. You could even start with a funny story or grand idea.

Another way to start your speech is to open with a question to spark your audience’s curiosity. If you engage your audience early in your speech, they're more likely to pay attention throughout your speech.

2. Connect With Your Audience

You want a speech that'll be memorable. One way to make your speech memorable is to connect with your audience. Using metaphors and analogies help your audience to connect and remember. For example, people use one writing tool to put the speech's theme in a 15-20 word short poem or memorable paragraph, then build your speech around it.

3. Have a Clear Structure

When your speech has a clear structure to it your speech becomes more memorable.

When writing your speech, have a clear path and a destination. Otherwise, you could have a disorganized speech. Messy speeches are unprofessional and forgettable. While writing your speech, leave out unnecessary information. Too many unnecessary details can cause people to lose focus.

4. Repeat Important Information

A key to writing memorable speeches is to repeat key phrases, words, and themes. When writing your speech, always bring your points back to your main point or theme. Repetition helps people remember your speech and drives home the topic of your speech.

5. Have a Strong Closing

Create a strong closing to your speech to make it more memorable.

Since the last thing that your audience listened to what your closing, they'll remember your closing the most. So, if your closing is forgettable, it can make your speech forgettable. So, recap your speech and repeat essential facts that you want the audience to remember in your closing.

PREFACE Writing is a very important skill that should be mastered properly by university students, especially pre-service language teachers (e.g. EFL student teachers). In order to present their ideas efficiently in the context of their academic study, they have to be trained well on how to write meaningful pieces (e.g. essays, academic reports, summaries, critical reviews, etc.). In addition, junior EFL student teachers need to delve deeper into more advanced forms of writing such as multi-genre writing. Also, they need to recognise the wide range of writing areas, forms, possibilities and chances enabled online by the web technologies. Moreover, writing is an important skill that prospective English language teachers need to develop during their pre-service education (training) programmes. They need to write accurately and coherently to present their ideas in a clear and acceptable academic format. They badly need this while doing their assignments, submitting their study reports and answering essay questions in literature, civilisation and language history courses, for example. Course information based on new regulations (college bylaws, recently modified in 2013): Level: 3rd Year- 2nd Semester Course Title: Writing (3) Code: Curr327 Number of Units: -Lecture (Theoretical Study): 1 hour -Workshops (Practical Sessions): 2 hours -Total: 3 hours Major: BA in Arts and Education (English Section) This Writing III course to junior EFL student teachers complements - and builds on - the Writing II course studied in the previous year by 2nd-year EFL student teachers. It gradually takes student teachers further into more advanced essay writing genres, types and processes. Like the Writing II course, it also aims mainly to foster EFL student teachers’ essay writing skills by helping them to identify different ways, strategies and/or techniques used for writing a standard English essay (e.g. a comprehensive five-paragraph essay). In this regard, it provides many examples, samples and illustrations of how to write different types of essays, and how to use various online techniques and strategies to develop paragraphs, and thus explore, reinforce and develop the main topic. More specifically, by the end of the course, junior EFL student teachers are expected to be able to: 1. Identify an English essay and its main components; 2. Write an English essay accurately and adequately; 3. Identify a topic paragraph in an essay; 4. Write a topic paragraph (and topic sentences or thesis) in an essay; 5. Identify and use multi-genre writing for different purposes; 6. Identify the common errors that people sometimes make while writing; 7. Continue writing and practicing different types of essays (e.g. expository, academic, descriptive, and narrative essays); 8. Practice some online writing skills (e.g. using new technologies - such as social networks - to fulfill some real literacy needs; sharing ideas online; write reflectively online; and give appropriate feedback to others online); 9. Identify different forms/types of online writing facilitated by some web technologies (e.g. reflective writing, collaborative writing and connective writing); 10. Write accurately based on some writing standards and/or guidelines; and 11. Write pragmatically and functionally based on some real needs and common goals. Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs): 1.1 Knowledge & Understanding: 1.1.9 The student teacher recognizes the difference between the paragraph, the composition and the essay. 1.1.10 The student teacher recognizes the various modes and genres of writing, such as comparing and contrasting, cause and effect, argumentative and expository writing. 1.1.11 The student teacher recognizes how to revise and edit essays and check them for unity, order and coherence. 1.1.15 The student teacher recognizes the difference between translating the text and the context and the various stylistic devices used in social, political, medical and cultural contexts. 1.2 Intellectual Skills: 1.2.6 The student teacher produces various writing genres (explanatory, expository, descriptive and narrative) accurately and fluently. 1.2.7 The student teacher initiates and terminates paragraphs or essays accurately. 1.2.8 The student teacher uses the process and product approach to writing paragraphs and/or essays. 1.2.9 The student teacher achieves unity and coherence in his/her writing through various devices. 1.2.10 The student teacher determines the audience or the purpose of an intended writing piece. 1.2.11 The student teacher prepares writing in a format (e.g. oral presentation, manuscript, and multimedia) appropriate to audience and purpose. 1.2.12 The student teacher revises and/or edits paragraphs and/or essays. 1.3 Professional Skills: 1.3.1 The student teacher enjoys English as an international means of communication. 1.3.2 The student teacher feels that learning English facilitates travelling abroad and communicating with native speakers. 1.3.5 The student teacher thinks that studying English dispels self-consciousness. 1.3.6 The student teacher thinks that English is a worthwhile subject. 1.4 General Skills: 1.4.1 The student teacher responds to specific situations and current conditions when implementing instructions. 1.4.2 The student teacher responds to the ideas and opinions of other speakers thoughtfully before uttering. 1. Lecturing 2. Discussion 3. Collaborative learning 4. Blended learning 5. Online learning 3- Teaching and Learning Methods 1. Online tutorials 2. Private interviews 3. Self-paced learning 4- Teaching and Learning Methods for Low Learners 5- Evaluation: Both forms of evaluation (i.e. formative and summative) are employed with student teachers throughout the whole semester. Writing tasks in workshops; oral/written presentations; formative assessment in workshops; and discussion in lectures a) Tools -Provisional scores are assigned for each student teacher every week in each workshop based on certain tasks. -A final total score is assigned for each one by the end of the semester based on total performance in both lectures and workshops. -Some time is devoted to online interactions with tutors and among student teachers themselves outside the frame of the formal schedule (e.g. a Facebook group or an online Blog). b) Time Schedule • Semester work + Oral production: 20 marks • Final semester exam: 80 marks • Total: 100 marks c) Grading System Course Instructor: Dr Mahmoud M. S. Abdallah Associate Professor of Curriculum & Instruction of English Language Learning Assiut University College of Education

Speech writing A guide to speech writing and great speech writers. Christchurch primary school 2006

Today you will be writing your own speech. To help you do this we are going to look at two things in this presentation. Firstly we are going to look at how to structure a good speech. Then we are going to look at two excellent speech writers from the twentieth century. We will look at how they made their speeches so effective. We will try to use what we learn when we write our own speeches.

So how do I structure my speech? • Firstly, introduce yourself – people need to know how is talking to them • Then ask for their attention – you are trying to convince people of something. Be polite! • Then state your position. What do you believe?

Now make a point – then ELABORATE on it. Saying what you believe is not enough. You must say WHY you believe it and WHY other people should believe it. • Make as many points as you can. The more points you make the more convincing you become. • In a speech you should try to give COUNTER ARGUMENTS, we will look at this later in the presentation.

How should I order my speech? • You need to grab your audience. Do this by: • Making your best argument first. This will get people’s attention. • Save your second best argument for last – people will remember this. • Give the rest of your arguments in order; second best to least best.

Now lets look at an example!!

Meet Mr William Shakespeare He lived about 400 years ago He wrote many many plays In his plays there were many great speeches We’ll now look briefly at one to see if it follows our structure This is the speech given by Mark Anthony after the death of Julius Caesar in the play Julius Caesar

Brief outline of the plot • The characters Brutus and Marc Antony were involved in the assassination of the leader of the Holy Roman Empire, Julius Caesar. • Marc Antony is now doing the dirty on Brutus. Marc Antony and Brutus were friends and they had a plan together. • Brutus has just given a speech essentially saying the Julius Caesar had to be killed for the good of Rome. • Marc Antony is now going to try to turn the people against Brutus with his speech.

ASKING PEOPLE TO LISTEN FIRST POINT _ VERY STRONG • Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.The evil that men do lives after them;The good is oft interred with their bones;So let it be with Caesar. The noble BrutusHath told you Caesar was ambitious:If it were so, it was a grievous fault,And grievously hath Caesar answer'd it.Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest--For Brutus is an honourable man;So are they all, all honourable men--Come I to speak in Caesar's funeral.He was my friend, faithful and just to me:But Brutus says he was ambitious;And Brutus is an honourable man.He hath brought many captives home to RomeWhose ransoms did the general coffers fill:Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept:Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;And Brutus is an honourable man.You all did see that on the LupercalI thrice presented him a kingly crown,Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition?Yet Brutus says he was ambitious;And, sure, he is an honourable man.I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke,But here I am to speak what I do know.You all did love him once, not without cause:What cause withholds you then, to mourn for him?O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts,And men have lost their reason. Bear with me;My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar,And I must pause till it come back to me. LOTS OF COUNTER ARGUMENT. HE IS VERY CLEVERLY AND POLITELY DISAGREEING WITH EVERYTHING BRUTUS SAID THE KEY TO THIS SPEECH IS REPETITION AGAIN AND AGAIN ANTONY SAYS “AND BRUTUS IS AN HONOURABLE MAN” WHAT EFFECT DOES THIS HAVE?

What have we learnt? • Repetition works well in speeches. (we will look at this more in a bit) • A really good trick to convince people is to sound like you are on the other side of the debate. Have your speech convince yourself. It shows people how they could be convinced.

Who shall we look at now?

Martin Luther King Jr. Martin Luther King Jr. argued for equal rights for all Americans. At the time in America black people were treated as second class citizens. On August 28th 1963 King gave the most famous speech of the 20th century. It changed many people’s lives. King was a powerful public speaker who lived for his beliefs. He was assassinated on April 4th 1968 as he stood to give a speech.

Lets look at a part of his speech • I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal." I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slaveowners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today.

What makes it great? • The repetition of a very powerful phrase: “I have a dream” • Use repetition in your speeches • Create a powerful phrase • Repeat it again and again • It makes a speech POWERFUL

Who next? Harold McMillan was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. He gave a speech in South Africa about giving African people the right to govern themselves The extract we will look at is taken from a speech made on 3rd February 1960.

What effect does this have? • The wind of change is blowing through this continent, and whether we like it or not, this growth of national consciousness is a political fact. We must all accept it as a fact, and our national policies must take account of it.

Using metaphors in speeches • The wind of change is a metaphor • It is used to put a picture in people’s minds • Metaphors are very effective in speeches • Can you think of some metaphors?

  • By Essay-Academy.com
  • These are two entirely different communicating tools that are characterized by the following distinctions
  • Language is connected with written and profound understanding form of communication, while the speech is an oral representation of the language.
  • Language has strict rules and patterns of communication that make its production process controlled and well-formed. Here we take into consideration two language aspects
  • Morphology is a linguistic study that deals with words and their inner structure (morphemes), patterns of the word structure and other peculiarities.
  • The syntax is a study that deals with sentence structure, word order and the whole text.
  • Due to different unique features of the person, speech is disposed to be variable, with possible irregular structure and order of words. One more aspect of speech discussion is the presence of the following constituents of the notion
  • Articulation the way sounds are made, peculiarities of sound producing, for example "row" is characterized by the sharp sound "r" and some people who have articulate disabilities or children pronounce it like "wow".
  • Voice the peculiarities of production of the sound that comprise the breathing process and the vocal folds (voice abuse, hoarseness, loss of voice and so on)
  • Fluency is a rhythm of speech (hurry, hesitation, stammering influence greatly on your speech).
  • Speech is an oral presentation, but it does not mean the absence of written preparation. You need to start your paper with making a plan of work that comprises the definite periods of time devoted to the particular stage of work.
  • The first stage of the speech writing is choosing a topic. The subject of your paper must be of current importance it must be both essential and capturing for your audience category. At the same time, your topic must be well-familiar to you as knowing the subject you will save your time and quality of the paper.
  • The next stage is the information gathering. The collection of information includes usage of multiple available sources internet articles, books, newspapers, specialized magazines, already existing academic works.
  • The third stage is the draft composition. Your draft is a structural skeleton for your fair copy that is characterized by the following constituent parts introduction, main body, ad conclusion.
  • Your fair copy is almost the last stage of work. It develops the key information concluded in your outline version. The key words, phrases, and sentences must form the whole coherent text.
  • You should check your paper for possible grammatical mistakes.
  • Memorizing of the text is one of the most difficult phases of work.
  • People are often mistaken resorting to the robot memorizing of each word and phrase.
  • Your task is to remember the contents and coherence of the represented issues.
  • To make your speech profound and astonishing you need to make artificial presentations and to rehearse.
  • Why is speech considered to be harder than writing? Over the half of people are afraid of a stage. The reason is a fear of being ridiculed, criticized and not accepted.
  • In this way, the very first thing you must do before presenting your work is leaving your worries behind. Thus, you just need to calm down, smile and perform your work with dignity. During the presentation you should take into account the following issues
  • Your speech must be confident, playing and clear.
  • Do not be monotonous, use intonation to color your language.
  • Always keep an eye contact with the audience.
  • Do not look on the floor, at the window or only at your instructor.
  • Pass your sight from one person to another to provide the representation with a covered dialog.
  • During the speech use rhetorical and special questions to keep in communication with the audience.
  • On no account be stuck in the text of your work. It will create an impression that you read it for the first time.
  • Do not forget about gestures not of that type like you are trying to get rid of bees but the smooth, graceful movements with your hands.
  • Speaking about the posture, do not cross your legs as it often proves your being shy and uncertain. Do not stoop to show all your physical advantages.
  • Look through your wardrobe before going to school. You need to look stylish, fittingly but not too bright and obscene.
  • If you are the one who has no time or desire for paper writing, we will be glad to provide you with our speech writing help and you will have only one thing left - to memorize the information. Our gifted writers know how to write a speech and will provide you with compelling speech examples for a small price.
