Published

on

Students compose different pieces of writing. However, they likewise have assignments that should be executed orally. Of course, you have already understood what we mean. This is the making of a speech. Speechmaking is one of the pretty tough challenges. It combines at least two learning skills – writing and speaking. Firstly, you should compose a speech and only afterward, perform before the public. In addition, we should mention reading comprehension. It’s better to read several books, guides and samples about speechmaking and topics related to your theme. Therefore, this kind of academic assignments is quite complicated.

Many people experience great fear before the public. Therefore, even a well-planned speech may get messy due to overly high nervousness. We understand this issue and believe that you can overcome it. Firstly, you should win over your own fears. Secondly, if you compose a perfect speech your fears will fade away just because you know that your speech is actually great.

This guide provides effective tips and recommendations used by professional speechwriters. We have chosen an informative speech. This assignment is commonly given for speaking classes as one of the first speeches. The definition is very simple. You should choose a certain topic and provide interesting information to cover it. In most cases, teachers and professors allow their students to make their own choice. Therefore, this part is beneficial. You are welcome to discuss whatever you wish. Even some fun themes will do.

The Main Things to Consider

In order to write a professional informative speech from scratch, you should undertake several essential steps.

  • Select a speech topic. You’re free about topic selection. This is a huge advantage because you will be able to select a topic, which is well-known to you and thus, will be more enthusiastic about. Your topic should be interesting and informative. You may some humor as well. If you struggle with your topic selection, we have a few ideas for you: my favorite hobby, the food we should consume, the best sport for me, why we need pets, how to protect our environment, effective measures to reduce the number of crimes, the importance of technology in our life, how to strengthen relations with parents, the influence of social media on teenagers, how to get rid of bad habits etc.
  • Research your topic. The next step is to decide what exactly to cover. For example, you wish to write about technology in our life. This is a very broad topic. Narrow it. Research your topic. Review it from different angles and note all the ideas that occur to your mind. Afterward, make a choice among them. For example, “Main Advantages of Technological Progress”. This variant is a great choice because it is interesting for most audiences, especially for young people.
  • Write a good attention-grabbing line. Begin your speech with a great opener. Grab the attention of your readers with something captivating and original. Don’t write that technology provides us with multiple conveniences. This is quite obvious. Instead of such boring sentences write something like this “Technology can make us better and smarter. We won’t be so smart and quick if it is taken away from us instantly”. After you get the attention, implement a thesis statement. It should be brief and informative. Discover the main purpose of your project. “With this project, I wish to prove how helpful technology is and why it has become an inevitable part of our everyday life”.
  • Fill the main plot with effective key points. The main plot develops your thesis. It should contain several key points that prove your idea. Make your speech like the one which flows. Make smooth transitions and connect them to one another. Depending on our topic, we should operate with facts that are closely related to the main question. You may highlight advantages of technology for our convenience, self-development, improvement of life in general, enhancement of knowledge, productivity at work, and simple entertainment. Yes, technological progress also serves as a great medium of fun to help us unwind from time to time. A stress-relieving option improves our mental health. Don’t forget about the examples. Thus, you may write “Thanks to technological inventions factories and plants throughout the globe create products in a record period of time. This helps to satisfy the needs of customers and improves economic conditions”. Afterward, you may add some statistics about how the general well-being of Japan or China improved now compared to 1950-ies.
  • Make a brief synopsis. Make a concise conclusion. Restate your main viewpoint and interpret the results you’ve received. Give your personal evaluation to your research. “I think, technology is our friend and we should never deny its importance…”

Additional Points to Consider

There are some other important prompts we wish to share with you. Take into your consideration the following points:

  • Consider your style. Learn all the demands of the assigned style. Typically, this is APA or MLA.
  • Revise your paper. Reread your speech several times to make sure that there are no mistakes. Ask other people to read too for more dependable results.
  • Practice. Make a speech in front of the mirror, as well as ask somebody to listen to it.

Stick to our tips and you will sufficiently enhance your chances to receive the highest grade. They are not that difficult to follow. Dedicate time, craft a plan and follow it.

Community seeks government intervention over Herders Occupation Of School

Published

on

The people of Omerelu community in Ikwerre local government Area of Rivers state have called on the state government interventions over an alleged Herdsmen taken over the premises of community  Secondary School in the area.
This state of the secondary school have left the students of the community  displaced.
Speaking to journalists at Omerelu on the occupation of the school by the herdsmen , an opinion leader from the community , Mr Obinichi Amadi, briefed journalists shortly after the commissioning of the Egbeda–Omerelu Link Road by the Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, recently .
Amadi claimed that the problem has persisted for months, but was renewed by commissioning of the road  renewed which he said, called for urgent government attention.
According to him, the school which is strategically located along the newly inaugurated road has become unsafe as roaming cattle and herdsmen now occupy its classrooms, open fields, and access routes.
Reports have it that some students who attempted to access the premises in recent weeks confirmed that dilapidated buildings, broken desks, and the presence of herders have made learning impossible.
The Community leader further described the development as both an educational and security crisis.
“The takeover of the school by suspected herdsmen poses a direct threat to children and undermines the developmental prospects expected from the newly completed link road. We want Governor, Siminalayi Fubara to come to our aid”, he said.
He also pointed out that the school which was established to serve the Egbeda–Omerelu corridor, has suffered long-term infrastructural decay, creating the vacuum that allowed herdsmen to encroach on the premises.
He further explained that the community has repeatedly appealed for intervention and is now placing renewed hope in the Governor following the commissioning of the road.
 “The irony is stark: while the state government has enhanced access into Omerelu with a modern road, the only major secondary school along that axis is non-functional and overrun by intruders. The road should lead not just to mobility but to meaningful development,” he said.
Meanwhile, student representatives lamented the collapse of their learning environment, citing leaking roofs, collapsed walls, overgrown bushes, and the absence of security as reasons many parents have withdrawn their children for safety.
Parents  as it was learnt had warned against closing the school completely and added that it could force them to send their children to distant communities for education purposes.
As the newly commissioned road receives accolades, the people of Omerelu are issuing a clear and urgent call saying that the Government Secondary School, Omerelu must be rescued, rehabilitated, and returned to its students.
It was also gathered that the once-thriving citadel of learning has been in this deplorable state for nearly two decades.
