SPEECH STRUCTURE

Introduction
Because the introduction serves as both a sales pitch and a useful outline, it should strike a good balance
between hype and content. Get the audience's attention, introduce the subject, clarify its importance to the
audience, state a thesis or intent, and outline the key points which are all essential.
Body
The body of a speech is the central section of the speech in which the main ideas and key concepts of the
speech are discussed. Except for the introduction and conclusion, the body is everything. The main points of a
speech make up the body of the speech. This is significant because it aids the audience's comprehension of
your speech.
Conclusion
Your speech's conclusion summarizes your main points and purpose while leaving a lasting impression on
your audience. The conclusion's purpose is to summarize your main points and prepare the audience for the
end of your speech.
