Persuasive Outline
Topic: Fear of speaking another language
Propositional Statement: persuade my audience to leam to speak a new language and not be
afraid to speak it
Organization: Monroe's Motivational Sequence
|. Introduction
A. Attention Getter: “The way you overcome shyness is to become so wrapped up in something
that you forget to be afraid.” — Lady Bird Johnson
B. Relevance: Speak another language apart from your first language makes you have more
opportunities as economic, social among other benefits
C. Credibility: Probably none of you have been afraid to speak another language as well as
many people who live in the United States who do not speak or are afraid of speaking
D. Preview: | will tell you my experience of how | felt when I speak English as my second
language and how difficult it has been for me to speak well and without fear
E, Transition: why do people have fear and do not speak English?
I, Body
A. Need
1, Sometimes people who come to live in the United States do not know English and
struggle to leam the language.
2.Examples — My friend when she came to The United States she got here at the age of nine
years old. For her, learning English was faster since she came young and it was easier to lear.
3. Data/Statistics — If you include non-citizen residents, the odds are even higher: 66 million
U.S. residents age 5 and older - 21.6 percent of that population - speak something other than
English at home, but since 2009 it's been rising in tandem with the share of all resident
non-English speakers.

I know that most of you have been through the same thing that I have been through, to be afraid
to speak English since it is the second language. As a person who grew up in another country, it
has become difficult for me to learn English because sometimes | do not know how to
pronounce the words or when | want to have a conversation with someone who does not
understand what | want to refer to.Transition
B. Satisfaction
1
Thanks to the United States being a country where there are people from different parts of the
world, there is more possibility that they learn to speak English quickly since there are many
English classes and also thanks to technology there are applications that can help you learn
English and others you want to understand.
2. Theoretical demonstration — Currently there are many people from other countries in the
United States and they do not know how to speak English and struggle to leam it or do not want
to speak it because they are afraid to speak it, so if they see a person who is afraid or does not
know how to speak English, you can help them by searching places where they can leam it and
also applications
3. Evidence - Sometimes the people prefer to use applications to learn another language like
Duolingo is the most popular language-leaming platform and the most downloaded education
app in the world, with more than 300 million users. The company's mission is to make education
free, fun and accessible to all. Duolingo is designed to feel like a game and scientifically proven
to be effective. In addition to its core platform, the company created the Duolingo English Test
(DET), an affordable and convenient language certification option that is accepted by over 200
universities.
4. Pre-empt pushback. To gain confidence you can go to courses that are based on the
natural method of learning: first, you listen to and understand a short film, then you
speak imitating native speakers and finally you learn to write with the help of
grammatical rules.
Transition: The causes of no speak English
C. Visualization (If we do/don't do what | say this is what will happen)
‘If people do not lose their fear of speaking English, they will never understand it
because they will always have that fear that will not allow them to live with others and
you will always have to find people who speak your same language and you run the risk
of they treat you badly, since sometimes people who speak the same language as you
are the ones who treat you the most and when you want to practice with that person
they will make fun of you, they will not want to help you.2-. If you speak Spanish in the United States, you have more opportunities since, being
from another country, you have the possibility of having better economic opportunities
since, as the United States, it is a country where there is a diversity of cultures, the
people with more languages do better in that they only speak a language. So be
encouraged to lear other languages and don't be afraid to speak badly as practicing
helps you improve
Transition:
C. Action: The best thing you can do is to practice the language even if you don't speak it well,
as always you will see people who correct you and that's fine because it will help you improve
1. As | was telling you, we have to encourage and help our friends who do not know how
to speak English, so that they learn it and are not afraid to speak it since it is very
important, they also encourage us, we have to encourage our parents to learn English.
2.
1 go to English classes on Saturdays and there we go just persons who speak Spanish,
there are people of different ages with the same level of English. there we lean, we do
not mock when someone says something wrong or when he pronounces wrong. In that
academy you have to pay a monthly fee and more apart books, but there are other
places where it is free and includes everything
Ill, Conclusion
A. Transition: As you can easily see...]
8. Summary: | have spoken about my experience of learning English as my second
language has been difficult for me, but looking for help and speaking with people who
only speak English since sometimes it is better because you practice it and learn faster.
‘When you speak two leagues you are two people at the same time because you can
speak with the person and translate what they are saying
C. Memorable Closing with Call to Action:Help others to not be afraid to speak English, do not make fun of them, do not make
them feel bad if you do not speak it well, better correct them in a good way, so they will
feel confident to practice it with you.
