Discretion in speech is more than eloquence.
Structuring your speech
You need to be
very focused in structuring your speech. For this you have to be clear what
you want to convey and to whom. It will be a good idea to divide your speech
into three part: the topic, the general purpose and the specific purpose. For this you should
take into account the context and the profile of the audience before whom you
are going to deliver your speech.
For example,
if you are called by a school management to address a group of teenage students
on the ill effects of social media. You can structure your speech as follows:
Topic: Facebook
General Purpose: To inform
Specific Purpose: To inform the students on the ill effects of
the Facebook if they are
not careful while sharing their personal information.
Again you have
to be very specific as to whom you are going to speak to - boys or girls. This
means you will end up preparing two completely different speeches, one for the
boys and another for the girls. What you share with the girls will be
completely irrelevant to the girls.
Once you are
clear about this aspects, then you can write down your speech. You would have
delivered a very meaningful speech!
