 Attention – Hey let me tell you something!

Need – We have a problem!

An overview Satisfaction – But there is a solution!

Visualisation – So this is what will happen!

Action – This is what you must do!

ATTENTION
HEY LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING!
 This is basically the introduction of your
speech

Use attention getters in order to begin

your speech
• Personal experience
ATTENTION • Fictional story telling
• Questioning
• Quotations
• Current events
• Historical references
• Interesting facts
• Humour
 Personal Experience – Start by relaying a personal experience
with relation to the issue or your topic
• VAPE – Just like others, I fell into the trend. I had the perception where a thick
flavoured fog fuming out from your mouth and nostrils is cool. So that lasted
for a year, then another, then it happened – I noticed that I get headaches
easily now and one day I was holding my iPhone I accidentally dropped it! My
left hand was shaking. So out of curiosity, I googled the side effects of vaping.
There, written by a medical expert, I saw it.

Attention Fictional story telling – Create a fake story as an introduction.

This is good as you get to play with audience’s emotions

Getters • THEA – Let me tell you about Mieza. She was a timid girl who would often
have highly limited confidence. She would be so afraid to talk in front of an
audience, sometimes even to start a simple conversation. Then things changed
when she signed for Mr. Adlan’s HKB112 class. Now, the stage is her house
and the audience fuels her confidence. How did that happen?

Questioning – Question your audience. It is highly advisable to

have more than three (3) questions
• DCEU – Have you watched Marvel Endgame? Did you like it? How many of you
own Marvel inspired clothing? How many of you wish to own a Marvel
Character suit?
 Quotations – Use a simple quotation that is related to your issue or
topic. Then talk a bit about that quotation
• ENFU - Charlemagne once said, “To have another language is to possess a second
soul.”

Current events – talk about a certain current event that is related

to your issue or topic. Make sure that you get your details correct!

Attention • VAPE – Julia Belluz wrote an article in September 26, 2019 in VOX on the dangers
of vaping. Vaping appears to be making hundreds of people sick and doctors have
no idea why as the mysterious spike in respiratory illnesses has sickened 805

Getters people in 46 states and one territory in America.

Historical references – Similar with above but go back in time.

Again, get your facts straight!
• THEA – When we talk about Ancient Greek, we would probably refer to Zeus,
Hades and Hercules but did you know that they started a form of entertainment
that has lasted until this very day? The Ancient Greeks were the first to present
dramatic presentations. However, back then “theatre” originated as a mean to
“entertain” their Gods – mainly Dionysus. It’s from there theatre evolved from
storytelling to singing and dancing.
 • Interesting facts – use some interesting facts to get your audience’s
attention. Use the “do / did you know” method
• ENFU – Did you know that the most common letter in English is
actually “e”? Did you know that only two English words end in
“gry” and they are “angry” and “hungry”? Did you know that
the phrase “the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog”
contains all 26 letters of the alphabet? English is interesting!
Attention • Humour – unleash your inner Russel Peters and start by making a
few jokes with relation to your topic. Just make sure that the jokes
Getters do not fall in the “hambar” category.
• THEA – I remember there was this one time: I was acting a
scene in a court. We had a huge backdrop to show that we
were in court. While I was talking, which I was shouting out of
anger by the way, the huge backdrop collapsed! Luckily my
friend who was acting as the judge was so quick and went “oh
well, Chief Inspector, mahkamah is still dalam renovations.
Budget tak lepas”. That spontaneity!
NEED WE HAVE A PROBLEM!
 With your topic, highlight the
issue here.

The audience must see that

Need there is a problem

When they see the problem,

only then you have a chance to
persuade them!
TOPIC NEED

VAPE Based on various recent studies in 2019, various lung diseases have been reported especially in the United States of America. Furthermore, there
have been various side effects associated to vaping such as migraines, seizures, fatigue, loss of vision and nicotine poisoning. Ladies and
gentlemen, nicotine poisoning may sound like a common bug but it is actually not common and has been known to cause death. This type of
poisoning, according to medical experts, is more associated to liquid nicotine such as vaping flavour liquids compared to tobacco.

THEA How many of you suffer from anxiety when you have to speak in front of an audience? I am not referring to speaking in front of a crowd of 5,000
people. I am referring to even a small classroom of 20. A lot of undergraduates suffer from this – the fear of speaking which in fact speaking is a
highly important skill at least to get you employed some day. However, I shan’t deny that speech anxiety is a serious thing indeed.

DCEU We are all into superheroes – well, most of us at least. However, nowadays all we see is Ironman, The Hulk, Loki, Thor, Spiderman and even
Thanos! The media is buzzing on Marvel. Not just the characters but the actors as well. Go to Hitz.fm’s Instagram account and you will see a lot of
postings on the MCU. Marvel is monopolising the superhero industry and we all know monopoly, aside from the board game, is never all right.
Look at Grab in Malaysia for starters.

ENFU Nowadays we hear a lot of graduates are unemployed. Even various online media platforms are buzzing on this issue – the employability rate. Is it
because jobs are scarce? According to jobsmalaysia and jobstreet that is not the case. So it can be said that this is due to the graduates’ skills. This
is as there is an outbreak of badly written resumes and poor interview skills.

DAFI We all wish to have the ideal body. However the concern here is one, money and two, time. Gym is not exactly cheap and the time commitment
takes a major toll especially towards those with job and family commitments. With that, we have a major case of Malaysians with poorly shaped
bodies, unfit cardio and the never-ending unhealthy lifestyle. Aside from that, some are living very sentient lives!
SATISFACTION
BUT THERE IS A SOLUTION!
 After you have presented the
problem to the audience, you need
to present to them a solution

What is the solution? That is your

Satisfaction persuasive speech topic!

You go to your topic and you

explain in detail on it
TOPIC SATISFACTION
VAPE So, ladies and gentlemen, vaping is not as safe as it seems and I call for all of you to stop vaping. If you vape, stop. If you know
someone who vapes, tell them to stop. It is not a healthier alternative as it is claimed to be. Just like smoking tobacco, vaping has it’s
own share of diseases too. It’s liquid contains a very high level of nicotine, especially this new version called salt-nicotine which has a
very high change of causing nicotine poisoning. Furthermore, vaping can actually be physically harmful. There have been multiple
situations where the vaping device exploded during usage. Imagine having the vape in your mouth and it goes KABOOM! For the sake
of pleasure, you lost your face. Take steps on how to stop vaping (explain the steps)

THEA How to overcome anxiety? Join theatre! (EXPLAIN WHAT THEATRE IS) (EXPLAIN THE THEATRE TYPES) (EXPLAIN THE BENEFITS OF
THEATRE) (EXPLAIN ABOUT THEATRE CLASSES IN UITM AND LEMBAH KLANG) (EXPLAIN ABOUT THEATRE IN MALAYSIA)

DCEU Why support Marvel? Why give them the sole spotlight? There are others and I would like to recommend DC or the DCEU where the
movies are related to. I am not referring to Ironman but I am referring to Batman, Superman, Aquaman. Thanos says he’s
“inevitable” but why not you put a smile on your face and embrace Joker instead. (EXPLAIN THE ACCOLADES OF DC; THE DC
COMICS, CARTOONS, VIDEO GAMES AND MOVIES). (COMPARE MARVEL AND DC BY HIGHLIGHTING HOW DC IS BETTER)

ENFU Poorly written resume. Bad interview skills. These are all related to language and I shall be specific – the English language. Reserve
your perception of the language but let’s admit to one thing – we need English to get employed. (RELATE TO ENGLISH USAGE IN THE
WORKPLACE). (TALK ABOUT HOW ONE CAN LEARN TO IMPROVE ENGLISH SKILLS).

DAFI So what if we combine excitement and fitness at the same time – DANCE FITNESS! Also known as aerobics, or Zumba. This is a form
of exercise that really shapes your body and improves your cardio while at the same time can guarantee a very good time. (TALK
ABOUT BENEFITS OF DANCE FITNESS). (TALK ABOUT THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF DANCE FITNESS). (TALK ABOUT HOW DANCE
FITNESS IS BETTER AND CHEAPER THAN GYM AND HOW IT CAN BE DONE AT HOME).
VISUALISATION
