How to make a speech
Structure of the speech Language feature Way of writing Function
Rhetorical question What if… Does it really matter… Why should… Description of a familiar phenomenon followed by a question An attention-grabber, followed by a statement about the topic To attract attention of the audience to the topic

1. The beginning of your speech should get the attention and interest of your audience.
2. By asking a rhetorical question, the audience will answer mentally and focus on your topic.
3. People are egocentric. Pay close attention to message that affect their own values, beliefs and well-being.
4. Two main functions of conclusion: to let the audience know you are ending the speech; to reinforce the audiences’ understanding of your speech.
5. When you have chosen a topic and a general purpose, you must narrow your choice to determine the specific purpose of your speech.
6. Use an example to explain your idea because in most cases, audiences need a more personal viewpoint on issues.

My dear fellows,
What is the No. 1 problem in the world today War Maybe. Pollution Kind of. While these are problems, there is another problem that many people don’t know about, which affects about 1.2 billion people now, and 500 million people are approaching this situation. And what is it A lack of water!
I had no idea about this problem myself, until my father volunteered to go to Ghana to dig wells.
At first, I was a little upset and worried about his rip. After all, he would be gone for up to two years! Then I began to study up on this issue, and I learnt that what my father did was right. It is thought that as many as 300 million people in Africa are affected by water shortages. Due to the lack of water, farms can not produce enough food and many people go hungry. Since water is scarce, even though the water is harmful, people go ahead and drink the water, which makes them sick.
In addition, people may have to walk many kilometres a day to get enough water for their daily use. The task of getting water usually falls to the female. Women end up not having enough time to work, and girls do not have time to go to school.
Can you imagine what a difference it will make to people there just to have a new well Suddenly, they have all the clean water they need within easy walking distance.
They can use this to grow crops, to drink, and to cook with. Now women have time to work and earn extra money for their families, and girls can go to school. When I think about what a difference my father is making to them, my chest swells with pride. Yes, my father did that! He helped those people!
My father is an inspiration to me. I now want to make a difference to this world. It might be here in China, or somewhere else. Would you like to join me
