and wearing appropriate attire are some ways of preparing well for a speech.

speakers after you. It also shows that you are not abusing the chance given to you to speak.

distinction based on position or achievement. In order to address them correctly, find out

words and actions. If in your speech you emphasize that everyone must be punctual,
make sure that you yourself would come to any event on time.
