Draft your speech

Before you start writing your speech=

• Choose a topic you want to stand for.

• Keep in mind:
o A one-minute speech requires around 130-150 words
o A two-minute speech requires around 250-300 words

• Elements of a speech:
Let´s get ready for your Final Task n3

My topic = ________________________________________________________________
Possible title = _____________________________________________________________

Introduction (Find an attention-getter / Introduce yourself and define the outlines of the speech)
You can start with = - rhetorical questions to convey your point

- statistics to strengthen your point of view

- setting up an imaginary scene for your audience to visualize the scenario that YOU wish to see come true

List the arguments for the body of your speech

For example: If your speech is about waste management, list information and arrange it according to subparagraphs.
It could include:

• What is Waste Management?

• Major techniques used to manage waste
• Advantages of Waste Management
• Importance of Waste Management

(+ You can also anticipate possible counterarguments to dismiss them = maybe with the use of anecdotes / humor....)

Conclusion (It should be something that the audience takes with them. It could be a reminder, a
collective call to action, a summary of your speech, or a story...)
For example: “It is upon us to choose the fate of our home, the earth by choosing to begin waste management at our
personal spaces.”
