How to form a statement?

What is the message of your speech?

What is your vision?

 -> Put that in your introduction! 

Example of a statement:

' Trump should be removed from office'

Arguments to support your statement:

• Rule of three; a powerful way to convince your audience!

Example

Trump should be removed from office because:

• He is responsible for the attack on the Capitol
  
• He did not condemn his supporters who attacked the Capitol
  
• He does not take responsibility for his actions
  

body of your speech

Use the arguments you found to write the body of your speech

+ examples, facts, evidence, anecdotes

Example

Trump is responsible for the attack on the Capitol because he has repeatedly encouraged his followers to become violent. One of the things he said in his speech before the angry mob attacked the Capitol was: 'If you don't fight like hell you're not going to have a country anymore' 

Transitions

• The sun is going to shine. It's going to be a beautiful day. Storm and heavy rainfall, please stay home.
• The sun is going to shine! It's going to be a beautiful day. However, tomorrow will be the complete opposite: Storm and heavy rainfall, please stay home.

Get your facts straight

To make your speech successful and credible:

• check your facts
• don't be vague
• Don't use too many dry facts
• It makes your point stronger!
• It makes you an authority

Use subject-specific words

• Read English articles on your subject
• become an authority on your subject

Example Trump:

Impeachment, Inciting Insurrection, Senate, National Guard, Congress, The Constitution

Good conclusion

• short recap of your speech
• what do you want your audience to remember?
• repeat your statement (but use different words)

Example Trump:

Trump harmed our democracy, violated his oath and is responsible for the attack on our constitution. There can only be one answer: 

You. Are. Fired!
