Persuasive speech plan

Speech title: Keep a good stance!

 

Audience Adaptation Plan

 

1.      Audience attitude: I believe that most of my audience knows much about how to keep a good stance but they do not pay attention to it. They do not take it as a habit. A bad stance may not impact on them now, but gradually they will feel the pain that a bad stance should bring to them. My purpose is to let them know the importance of keeping a good stance.

 

2.      Reasons: I believe that the five examples that are most likely to convince my audience are keeping a good stance when sitting, standing, sleeping, moving things, and controlling weight.

3.      Selecting an organization to meet audience attitude: I have organized my speech in a way that my audience will know the importance of keeping a good stance and what will become if they have Scoliosis.

 

Speech outline

Body

I.                   Before learning how to keep a good stance in every aspect, we should know what Scoliosis is.

A.     First of all, we bend down to check whether our spine is straight or not.

B.     If your spine is straight, then it is normal; if it curves like a "C" or "S", then you may have the chance to have Scoliosis.

C.     Scoliosis may have these bad influences on your body, if you tend to keep a bad stance.

1.      Your body shapes would become abnormal and shapeless.

2.      You may often have waist ache or back ache.

C. When you sleep with your face sided, try to bend your knees.

V.     You should keep a good stance when moving things.

A. When you want to take a heavy thing from the floor, remember to squat.

B. When you are holding a heavy thing, always straighten up you back and keep the thing close to your body.

C. When you want to take a thing from a high place, you should stand on a chair to get it.

VI.     You should try to control your weight.

A. You should not gain too much weight like the people in the pictures because your spine may not be able to support your weight.

B. Control your weight does not mean you should become very skinny.

VII.                    If you do not follow the instructions above, you may have Scoliosis.

A. If you have Scoliosis, you will have to wear braces to cure it.

B.     On the other hand, if Scoliosis becomes serious, then you will have to take the spinal surgery.

 

Conclusion: Keeping a good stance in our daily lives is important because it can prevent us from getting Scoliosis and let us have a prettier body shapes. Besides, we will not have to worry about having waist or back ache. Therefore, let us keep a good stance when doing everything.

A6310 Section A 49382045 章� Speech Plan No. 3

Persuasive Speech Plan

Speech title: Smoking, just like heaven? Or hell?

Name: Wendy

Specific speech goal:

I want to convince my audience that smoking can do nothing but hurt their health.

Besides, I hope they can stop others from smoking after they listen to my speech.

Proposition: Proposition of fact

Audience adaptation

Audience attitude:

People all know that smoking is harmful. However, lots of people still smoke. Some may think that little smoking will not cause any negative effect. Some may take smoking as a "stress releaser" or a sign of maturity. Still a great number of people admit that smoking is unwelcome, but do not know that smoking is indeed deadly. People around twenty years old like us would easily fall into this kind of myth. They may think that a little bit smoking will not lead to any damage to their health, what is more, in their opinions, think also feel that they can easily get rid of cigarettes when they are get tired with them.

 

Reasons:

I firmly believe that the three key points I am going to raise are convincible―the reason why it is hard for people to quit smoking, the two most serious diseases with high possibility of leading to death, and persuading people not to smoke is a matter not only raised in local organization but also brought up by the government. After hearing these, my audience would perceive that they also have to take actions―stop smoking and stop others from smoking.

Creating and maintaining interest:

I will use some authentic pictures of heart disease and lung cancer, providing some examples to my audience. Also, I will use some rhetorical questions to raise my audience's interest.

Selecting an organization to meet audience needs:

Given that the majority of my audience seemed unsure about the consequences, I decided to use logos, pathos and ethos as my persuasion sequence to support my arguments. In my speech, I will cite several statistical numbers to prove smoking do result in negative effects on our health. (logos) And then I will introduce two diseases, appealing to them keeping away from smoking. (pathos) By the end of my speech, I will provide my own experience of going through my grandfather's cancer. (ethos)

Organizational patterns―Statement of Reasons Pattern

      1. Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related death.

A6310 Section B 高淑真 49482005 Speech Plan No.3

Persuasive speech

Speech title: We should support legal same-sex marriage         

 

Audience Adaptation Plan

1.      Audience attitude: Nowadays, more and more homosexuals are eager to have a legal marriage in Taiwan, maybe many of them are you or your friends.  But right now same-sex marriage is not legal yet in Taiwan.  However, some countries and some cities had admitted same-sex marriage.  So making audience understand the importance, abandoning biases and then supporting legal marriage in Taiwan are my goals.

2.      Reasons: No doubt that legal same-sex marriage is a trade all over the world, especially for developed countries.  However, in Taiwan most people could not accept homosexuals, not to mention legal marriage.  But since it's a problem we will meet in the near future, we should understand more about it and following support same-sex marriage. 

3.      Selecting an organization to meet audience needs: First, I will tell audience that most homosexuals are eager to have legal marriage certificate, but right now in Taiwan it's not legalized.  But in many developed countries and cities have legalized the marriage.  Second, if we do not legalize same-sex marriage, their rights will be damaged.  For example, they can not adopt children.  Third, I will tell audience how many benefits the society will obtain if same-sex marriage is legal.  Finally, I hope we can give up bias and support legal same-sex marriage.

 

Outline

1. Speech goal: I would like to convince audience that we should support legal same-sex marriage in Taiwan.

2. Introduction:

 I. Homosexuals can be tracked back to Chun-Qiu dynastic in East.  In West, homosexual marriage can be tracked back to late 20^th century.

 II. Nowadays, most people can accept homosexuals more widely, but still some

people have misunderstandings at all.

 III. Besides, only by "legal" same-sex marriage can help homosexuals get the same rights with heterosexuality.

4.      Thesis statement: Legal homosexual marriage is a trade all over the world.  But it's still a taboo or myth in Taiwan.  Therefore, I will use many examples and different concepts to support legal homosexual marriage. 

5.      Body:

  I. According to Wikipedia, many countries and cities have legislated same-sex marriage, including Netherland, Belgium, Spain, San Francisco and so on.

A. In Taiwan, government were trying to pass a draft of "same-sex marriage," but failed in the end.

 II. There are several benefits of legal same-sex marriage

A.    Reduce suicide rate

B.     Reduce venereal disease such as AIDS

C.     Strengthen loyalty and trust of same-sex partner

D.    Gain social support

 III. If same-sex marriage is not legal, many problems appears.

A.     Someone is going to have a major operation, could his/her partner sign agreement while his/ her relatives are far away

B.    They could not obtain decent while their partner is passed away.

C.     Their basic human rights are deprived.

6. Conclusion

  In the end, we should give up our bias as well as discrimination.  We need to view them as the same as us.  Also, supporting them to have normal marriage just like us.
