    Speech writing is the art of using proper grammar and expression to convey a thought
    or message to a reader. Speech writing isn’t all that distinct from other types of narrative
    writing. However, students should be aware of certain distinct punctuation and writing
    style techniques. While writing the ideal speech might be challenging, sticking to the
    appropriate speech writing structure will ensure that you never fall short.

    “There are three things to aim at in public speaking: first, to get into your subject,
    then to get your subject into yourself, and lastly, to get your subject into the heart
    of your audience.”- Alexander Gregg

    Speech in English Language Writing


    The English language includes eight parts of speech
    i.e. nouns, pronouns , verbs, adjectives 410, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions,
    and interjections.

     Noun- A noun is a word that describes anything, such as an animal, a person, a


    place, or an emotion. Nouns are the building blocks for most sentences.
     Pronoun– Pronouns are words that can be used in place of nouns. They are used
    so that we don’t have to repeat words. This makes our writing and speaking much
    more natural.
     Verb– A verb is a term that implies activity or ‘doing.’ These are very vital for your
    children’s grammar studies, as a sentence cannot be complete without a verb.
     Adjective– An adjective is a term that describes something. An adjective is
    frequently used before a noun to add extra information or description.
     Prepositions- A preposition is a term that expresses the location or timing of
    something in relation to something else.
     Conjunction- Because every language has its own set of conjunctions, English
    conjunctions differ from those found in other languages. They’re typically used as a
    connecting word between two statements, concepts, or ideas.
     Interjections- Interjections are words that are used to describe a strong emotion or
    a sudden feeling.

    How Do You Begin an English-Language Speech?


    The way you start your English speech can set the tone for the remainder of it. This
    semester, there are a variety of options for you to begin presentations in your classes.
    For example, try some of these engaging speech in English language starters.

    1. Rhetorical questions: A rhetorical question is a figure of speech that uses a


    question to convey a point rather than asking for a response. The answer to a
    rhetorical question may be clear, yet the questioner asks it to emphasize the point.
    Rhetorical questions may be a good method for students to start their English
    speeches. This method of introducing your material might be appealing to the
    viewers and encourage them to consider how they personally relate to your issue.
    2. Statistics: When making an instructive or persuasive speech in an English class,
    statistics can help to strengthen the speaker’s authority and understanding of the
    subject. To get your point over quickly and create an emotional response, try using
    an unexpected statistic or fact that will resonate with the audience.
    3. Set up an imaginary scene: Create an imaginary situation in your audience’s
    thoughts if you want to persuade them to agree with you with your speech. This
    method of starting your speech assists each member of the audience in visualizing a
    fantastic scenario that you wish to see come true.

    Format of Speech Writing


    Here is the format of Speech Writing:

     Introduction: Greet the audience, tell them about yourself and further introduce
    the topic.
     Body: Present the topic in an elaborate way, explaining its key features, pros
    and cons, if any and the like.
     Conclusion: Summary of your speech, wrap up the topic and leave your
    audience with a compelling reminder to think about!

    Let’s further understand each element of the format of Speech Writing in further detail:

    Introduction
    After the greetings, the Introduction has to be attention-getting. Quickly get people’s
    attention. The goal of a speech is to engage the audience and persuade them to think
    or act in your favour. The introduction must effectively include:

     A brief preview of your topic.


     Define the outlines of your speech. (For example, I’ll be talking
    about…First..Second…Third)
     Begin with a story, quote, fact, joke, or observation in the room. It shouldn’t be
    longer than 3-4 lines. (For Example: “Mahatma Gandhi said once…”, or “This
    topic reminds me of an incident/story…”)

    This part is also important because that’s when your audience decides if the speech is
    worth their time. Keep your introduction factual, interesting, and convincing.

    Body
    It is the most important part of any speech. You should provide a number of reasons
    and arguments to convince the audience to agree with you.

    Handling objections is an important aspect of speech composition. There is no time for


    questions or concerns since a speech is a monologue. Any concerns that may occur
    during the speech will be addressed by a powerful speech. As a result, you’ll be able to
    respond to questions as they come in from the crowd. To make speech simpler you can
    prepare a flow chart of the details in a systematic way.

    For example: If your speech is about waste management; distribute information and
    arrange it according to subparagraphs for your reference. It could include:

     What is Waste Management?


     Major techniques used to manage waste
     Advantages of Waste Management
     Importance of Waste Management

    Conclusion
    The conclusion should be something that the audience takes with them. It could be a
    reminder, a collective call to action, a summary of your speech, or a story. For example:
    “It is upon us to choose the fate of our home, the earth by choosing to begin waste
    management at our personal spaces.”

    After concluding, add a few lines of gratitude to the audience for their time.

    For example: “Thank you for being a wonderful audience and lending me your time.
    Hope this speech gave you something to take away.”
