Informative Speech
Speech Topic: NEET

Adaptation Plan:
1. Speaking directly to members of the audience:
I will explain it slower and clearer so that my
audience could understand easier.

2. Building credibility:
I will show them the static from the government in
Japan.

3. Getting and maintaining interest:
I think my audience would be interested in my topic,
since NEET is a new word in Taiwan just like Otaku.
Besides, In order to draw their attention and maintain
their interest, photos of NEET will be represented;
and I will compare similar words in the end.

4. Facilitating understanding:
First I will use Power point to clarify my topic, and
I will introduce it step by step, from its origin to
its type and so on.

5. Increasing retention:
Photos will be powerful and helpful for increasing
retention.

Speech Outline:

Speech Goal: I would like to make my audience know
about this word, its definition, and its types.

Introduction:
I. Recently, there is a word, indicating to a new,
special group in Japan. That is NEET. Today, there are
more than 620000 people who are NEET.

II. Do you know what is that?
Thesis statement: NEET is now a serious, discussable
social problem in Japan. I want my audience to know
more about it because it might be one day a problem in
Taiwan.

Body:
I. What is NEET?
A. It originated in England in 1999, describing the
group of youth aged 16 to 18, and they are not in
employment, education, and training. And then, when it
is transported to Japan, its meaning was clarified a
little bit different- age is not the limitation, and
they should be single.

II. I am going to present its types.
A. Daydreaming: They are a group of people with
daydreams. So before they get into work, lots of
impractical daydreams would float in their mind and
they will quit their job right away if the job is out
of their expectation.
B. Lacking of confidence: They extremely lack of
confidence. So when they fail in the interview or get
any little trouble in job, they will be frightened,
quit, and get back to home right away.
C. Autism-like: They don't want or dare not to
communicate with others, connect with other, or even
talk to others.
D. Family spoiling: Because of over spoiling, the
children have no critical thinking and judging
ability. What's more, parents think that acceptable,
for they have enough money support their children
though they are in adulthood.

II. When we look deep down in it, we will find out the
cause of NEET is confidence. That is, in most cases,
youth of the above-mentioned types caused of "over
protection." Then, I am here present why do those
parents do so:
A. Lacking of confidence: Parents are afraid of eyeing
their children failing. So they choose not to let go
their hands.
B. A sense of lost: When children grow up and being
independent, parents would have a sense of isolation
and neglect, for their children are out of control.
C. A sense of humiliation: If children fail, parents
would feel shamed.
D. Feeling anger: Children would not discuss every
thing with their parents, so parents would just feel
angry for being neglected. For example, a son has a
girlfriend, and his parents know it finally when they
are getting married.
E. Worried of getting hurt: Parents are afraid of
being hurt. For example, parents are mostly afraid if
they lost of their children who are die of drunk
driving.

Conclusion: NEET is now a serious problem in Japan,
and there are more than 620000 NEET in Japan. Apart
from being a waste of social welfare, NEET are
regarded dangerous. Though there is no news recently,
People still think NEET may commit robbing, stealing,
or drug trafficking when one day they lose their
support from family. We should pay much attention to
it, because maybe someday the NEET phenomena may
happen in Taiwan because we have similar family
pattern and conception in Taiwan.
