Creating an Effective Conclusion

Restate your main points, but don’t repeat them

For example:

“I asked earlier why we should care about the rain forest. Now I hope it’s clear that . . .”

Call to action

The ideal ending is highly memorable. You want it to live on in the minds of your listeners. Often it combines a call to action with a summary of major points.

A clue for working out what the most appropriate call to action might be, is to go back to the original purpose for giving the speech.

• Was it to motivate or inspire?
• Was it to persuade to a particular point of view?
• Was it to share specialist information?
• Was it to celebrate a person, a place, time or event?

Body part of Speech

After you write the introduction of speech you are going to move to the body of speech using the transition statement ( group words that tell us where we are going next)

For the transitional phrases, you can use:

– The next pont I’d like to make is…

– Moving right along…

– My first point is…

– First…second…third…

Write your ideas and information into at least 3 main points (what, who, why and how) and also write the supporting detail to explain of your main points.

Create Good Introduction in Speech

The objective of your introduction is to show why people should listen to you.

According to Andrii Sedneiv:

“in the first 7 seconds people will decide whether they like you or not and in the first 30 second they will decide whether they listen to you or not.”

It’s crusial to start the introduction with something:

1. Original

2. Unexpected

3. Powerful

There are 3 methods:

1. Tell a personal story

2. Thought – provoking question

3. Powerful Statement
