What are some good examples for public speaking?
1. Introduction:
So with your introduction how do we set that up? What’s the outline
below introduction?
When we are looking at the introduction we need to look at firstly, what content
we are trying to get across and how we going to introduce that in a way that
engages the audience.

So there are four ways that are recommended you can to do this:

1. With a Quote
2. With A Question
3. With A Factoid
4. With A Story
The introduction is very important. So think of some different ways that you can
introduce your topic to make it exciting, to make interesting because whole goal
of the introduction is to get people excited to listen to the rest of your
presentation.

The Body Of Your Presentation


You can construct the body in any way that you want. So with that body we want
main messages that we need to get across to let say we have got good introduction
then we got body and in that body what we going to have is three points. So we
are going to have one, two, three and in your outline you will list those three main
messages and then you will then make a note of a story that you want to tell or
quote that you want to give or statistic or some reference that you want to provide
to back up the point that you are presenting.

The Conclusion
You want to wrap up the conclusion and in some way you want to bring it back to
the message that you already delivered or if possible the core message that you
are delivering.

The conclusion is probably the thing that will be remembered the most. Find an
interesting way to do that and then if possible and if required and appropriate
give a call to action.

The call to action could be ‘Go to the back and sign up’, or it could be something
as simple as ‘Think about X why you doing Y’.

THE MAIN PURPOSE OF
PUBLIC SPEAKING
There are three general purposes that all speeches fall into: to inform,
to persuade, and to entertain.

To Inform
The first general purpose that some people have for giving speeches
is to inform. Simply put, this is about helping audience members
acquire information that they do not already possess. Audience
members can then use this information to understand something (e.g.,
speech on a new technology, speech on a new virus) or to perform a
new task or improve their skills (e.g., how to swing a golf club, how to
assemble a layer cake). The most important characteristic of
informative topics is that the goal is to gain knowledge.

To Persuade
The second general purpose people can have for speaking is to
persuade. When we speak to persuade, we attempt to get listeners to
embrace a point of view or to adopt a behavior that they would not
have done otherwise. A persuasive speech can be distinguished from
an informative speech by the fact that it includes a call for action for
the audience to make some change in their behavior or thinking.

To Entertain
The final general purpose people can have for public speaking is to
entertain. Whereas informative and persuasive speech making is
focused on the end result of the speech process, entertainment
speaking is focused on the theme and occasion of the speech. An
entertaining speech can be either informative or persuasive at its root,
but the context or theme of the speech requires speakers to think
about the speech primarily in terms of audience enjoyment.
