For Your Information: The Basic Structure of a Speech
The basic structure of any speech includes three parts: the introduction,
body and conclusion.
Introduction - This is where the speech is first established. To start writing
the introduction, “attention grabber” is used to catch the interest of the
audience. Attention grabbers include jokes, anecdotes, quotations, rhetorical
questions, interesting facts, etc. It is important to note that introduction is
where the main claim or idea (thesis statement) is stated very clearly to give
the audience a sense of the purpose of the speech.
Body - This is the part where the main points are explained to the audience.
These main points (or arguments for persuasive speech) should be
supported with evidences. Evidences can be facts, statistics, examples,
expert opinions, etc. The information given in the body of a speech should
be organized accordingly. Some common modes of organizing information
are: chronological, cause and effect, topical, and compare and contrast.
Conclusion - There are two purposes that a conclusion should accomplish:
summarize main ideas and give the speech a sense of closure and
completion. Some of the good conclusions include: referring back to the
introduction, using analogy and metaphor that captures the main idea,
asking a question or using a quotation.
