Speech writing - SS3 English Lesson Note

Start by brainstorming your ideas.What do you want to say in your speech? What are your main points? What stories or anecdotes can you share to illustrate your points?

Once you have your ideas, start organizing your speech. What order will you present your points in? How will you transition from one point to the next?

Write a rough draft of your speech.This will help you to get your ideas down on paper and to start to see how your speech will flow.

Once you have a rough draft, start editing and revising your speech.Make sure your speech is clear, concise, and easy to understand.

Practice your speech aloud. This will help you to get comfortable with the material and to deliver your speech smoothly.

Tips for writing speeches:

Use clear and simple language.Avoid using jargon or technical terms that your audience may not understand.

Be specific. Don't just say "I learned a lot in school." Instead, say something like "I learned how to solve complex math problems, write persuasive essays, and work effectively in groups."

Use personal stories and anecdotes.This will help your audience to connect with you and to understand your points on a personal level.

End with a call to action. Tell your audience what you want them to do after they hear your speech.
