that will make them think.
State

to explain…’

your contention. e.g.
Food is not a privilege, it’s a right; a
right to life.’

an outline of your talk; e.g.: ‘I will concentrate on the
following points: First of
all…Then…This will lead to… And finally…’

absolutely clear when you move to another point. e.g.: ‘The next point is that ...’;
‘OK, now I am going to talk about ...’;
‘Right, Now I'd like to explain ... ’
Use clear
examples to illustrate your points and support your contention.
Include a
rebuttal to discredit your opposition’s point of view. e.g. ‘Quality of life means more than quantity of
life when keeping wild animals in zoos’

important to leave your audience with a clear idea of the issue you have
presented.
It is very

the main points again, using phrases like: e.g.: ‘To sum up...’; ‘So, in conclusion...’;
