Writing a Speech

ORAL COMMUNICATION – Q1 W7
Prayer
Father, may everything we do begin with your inspiration
and continue with your saving help. Let our work always
find its origin in you and through you reach completion.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one
God, for ever and ever. Amen

memorable ride.

One difference between speeches written to be
given publicly and presentations written to be
viewed online is that the former is given before a
live audience at specified time and place. The later
may be shared, viewed, and reviewed at the reader's
convenience.
