Speech
1. Greetings
In your introduction, it is important for you to write your greetings beforehand, eg. Good morning
to the Principal of SMK... Always remember, when you do your salutation, you should start from
the highest position to the lowest, that's the protocol system.

2. Purpose of your speech/talk: topic of the day

In your introduction, you must mention the purpose of your speech or your topic of the day. Do
give brief reason of your choice.

3. Points
You are given several points as your guideline. Before you start scrambling your thoughts on that
piece of paper, why not brainstorm or do mind map first. I have always reminded the students to
follow this easy steps: the 3E's, which stands for explain, example and elaborate. Moreover, you
are highly recommended to add another two points as to increase your marks.
3E's: Explain, Example and Elaborate

4. Language
Grammar has always been the greatest concern. Most of the marks come from here, 20 marks.
That's quite a lot isn't it?

3C's: Coherence, Connectors, and Clarity

GVO: Grammar, Vocabulary, Organisation

5. How many pages?

You don't have to write up to 2 pages because this is not continuous writing section; thus, just
write about one page, and that's the reason why it is called as Directed Writing. One page should
be okay, unless you have giant writing font, which require at least 2 pages.

6. Ending
Don't forget to end your speech with 'Thank you'. That's common sense, okay.
