An outline is a hierarchical list that shows the relationship of your ideas. A good outline helps you see that all the
ideas are in line with your main ideas or message. The elements of an outline include introduction, body, and conclusion.
The introduction is the foundation of your speech. Here, your primary goal is to get the attention of your audience
and present the subject or main idea of your speech.
The body of the speech provides explanations, examples, or any details that can help you deliver your purpose and
explain the main idea of your speech.
