Writing a Speech Based on a Compelling Thesis

by Emily
(Canberra, Australia)

Tip for writing a speech based on an interest arousing central message. In order to draft the perfect phrase that expresses the central concerns of your speech presentation as well as your stand on the issue, the following tips should be considered. The do’s and don’ts of writing a speech idea are:

Include the speech topics as well as your conclusion/assertion.

Its scope is limited and as such, it should be focused and specific.

Mention it at the end of the first paragraph.

Don’t use personal expressions.

Don’t use jargon or technical terminology.

Check your thesis for grammar and replace coordinate conjunctions, if any, with subordinate conjunctions.

Today’s horror movies face serious objections.

This is a rather vague claim, that provides a simple claim and no support or reasons along. As such, it is a poor statement. A revised example for the same persuasive speech may be:

Today’s slasher movies fail to deliver the emotional catharsis that the 1930s horror films did.

This, on the other hand, mentions the reasons why the horror movies face objections. As a result, it is a much better option.

Prior to writing a speech thesis that succeeds, analyze the points you would like the audience to get across after listening to you. Any message can be changed if the progressing writings change focus slightly or if it fails to reflect what you want to assert. The grammar should be flawless and it should flow well. Research your speech topics well so that you have command over it and then write a speech from one side of the issue. This is the key that makes the audience decide if they would like to listen or not.

Very nice writing a speech tips!
by: Lynn, Monsey, NY

Thank you Emily for these very nice tips on writing a speech claim or thesis. More special: your view to avoid the use of jargon or technical terminology is certainly not superfluous, I think.

Many public speakers overlook this blockade in writing a speech for retiring employees or bosses. Why is it blocking? Often there are many family members and friends at such retiree farewell parties who can not follow the speaker because of his rich use of not-understandable language.

So my writing a speech tip is: check if your presentation contains no needless jargon and phrases. Wipe them out!
