from text one and text two.

• Get the attention of the
audience.

occasion.

The body is the main part of the


speech as it contains ideas and facts 
that you want to convey.

rough plan.
For example, a speech about the benefits of eating fruits and
vegetables, the main points could be:

1. It provides nutrients that our body needs.


2. It protects against aging.
3. It reduces risk of cancer.
Transitions:
• Words or sentences that help
your audience understand
the flow of your speech.
• Used to shift the speech from one
Use point to another.
• Makes it easy for your audience to
transition follow along.
words
This is your final opportunity to convey your
message and main points in a manner that will
leave an impression on your audience. The
optional way to do that is by summarizing the
main points.
Some ways to conclude:

•"To conclude, …".


•"I talked about ….".
•End with a memorable thought.
