1)P"EPA"A!I#N
$ear audian0e# $he first essential in the preparation of any oral
communication is a thorough !nowledge of the sub8ect. for ma!ing an
effectie tal! it must be ery methodical and carefully prepared. $here
are people who are e+perienced spea!ers and !now their sub8ect ery
well that they can spea! effectiely without any preparation. -ut most of
us do not fall in that category. =ence# without preparation# a tal! is li!ely
to be lac!ing continuity# less interested and probably full of nerousness.
3
6nce he has a basic !nowledge of his sub8ect# a spea!er can embar!
on the methodical preparation of his material.
,slide-
,>. $he spea!er should decide on the scope of his tal! ta!ing
account of the following factors'
a. Aim. spea!er should e+amine the re&uirement# and
decide what lines to follow and how much of the sub8ect to coer. 0t this
stage #he should decide on the title.
b. Audien0e. Spea!er should consider the audience.s
depth of e+perience !nowledge of the sub8ect and what further
they want to !now.
c. !ime. Spea!er should consider the time allotted or
re&uired. =e may need to concentrate on certain aspects for if too
much is attempted in the aailable time# the audience will be
confused. 0 tal! should nor normally attempt to coer more than 3
or " main points the depth to which each is ta!en will depend on
the time aailable. 0de&uate time may need to be left for &uestions
d. /a0ilities. Spea!er should consider the local and the
physical facilities aailable including those for showing isual aids.
,slide-
22)framwork. 0fter collection of all releant material the spea!er
should construct an outline framewor! and notes or a script can be
written. =e should marshal ideas# decide on headings and arrange
"
them in a logical se&uence. $he structure of a tal! should follow the
classic se&uence of introduction body and conclusion'
SLI5/
,;. a. Introdu0tion. $he introduction of a speech should be brief?
the introduction of your tal! should be about one tenth of the total time.
for e+ample for a "> min presentation introduction should be for about "
mins. -efore going into the main body you should say to your audience
about how long you are going to spea! so that they are mentally
prepared to listen to you.
SLI5/
,3. !he Body. $he body contains only material outlined in the
scope. 0ppropriate headings should be selected which although not
necessarily spo!en# follow each other logically and so lead up to the
conclusion. Should it be necessary to present arguments# it is often
best to gie first those points @against. so that they can be demolished
or so that the audience is made aware that they hae not been
oerloo!ed then arguments for may be produced so that the most
pertinent point comes last so concluding the argument on a strong note.
SLI5/
,".Con0lusion. $he form of the conclusion depends on the
nature of the tal!. In a lecture or lengthy presentation it may
consist of a straight summing up# reminding the audience of the
*
main points which hae been coered in the tal!. In a shorter tal!
or briefing a full scale summary is inappropriate it is usually better
to conclude with a short personal assessment or brief
recommendations. $he conclusion must aoid an anti clima+
because the closing words will linger in the minds of the audience.

23) SC"IP!
Notes must be clearly written so that spea!er can e+press
himself easily.
%ages to be arranged in correct se&uence so that spea!er can
follow the se&uence easily.
Notes should be more than a list of heading
=eadings should form the threads of discourse. Spea!er should
hae no difficulties for remembering them and shift one point to
another point smoothly.
