l          Persuasive speech – No more bamboo chopsticks( 衛生筷)

 

Audience Adaptation Plan

 

1. Audience attitude:
People today use bamboo chopsticks very often. Because of convenience, they use these hazard products regardless of the danger which might be brought to health.

2. Reasons:
I think bamboo chopsticks do no good to our body, and the danger really concerns me. I hope I can make some effort by giving the speech to my audience and change their attitude.

3. Selecting an organization to meet audience needs:
I will use logical arguments form sign to meet audience needs. By showing the way of producing bamboo chopsticks, including what chemistry they use during the process and the harms these chemistries bring to human body, I would persuade my audience not to use bamboo chopsticks step by step.

 

 

Outline

 

Speech goal:

I want to convince my audience that they should stop using bamboo chopsticks.

 

Introduction:

We Chinese use chopsticks everyday. We use our own chopsticks at home. But when we are not at home, we eat by using bamboo chopsticks. But bamboo chopsticks may harm our health.

 

Thesis Statement:

We should not use bamboo chopsticks for they are harmful to our body.

 

Body:

I. We Chinese use chopsticks everyday. When we are not at home, we eat by using bamboo chopsticks provided by the food stand owners, so that we consumers don't worry about how to eat. It's very convenient for us who do not usually eat at home.

 

II. Workers use some chemistry when producing the chopsticks.

 

A.  Sulfur( 硫磺 ): To sulfurize these bamboos. Sulfur's main feature is to be solid when the temperature goes down. If we inhale sulfur when we eat, it would flow into the respiratory passages, and cause breathing problems and damage oral mucous membrane( 口腔黏膜 ). Besides, sulfur contains heavy metals like lead(鉛 ), and mercury(汞 ), so if we use bamboo chopsticks, we may have lead or mercury poisoning someday.

B.  Hydrogen peroxide( 雙氧水 ): The purpose is to bleach these bamboos and make the bamboo good-looking. They use it because hydrogen peroxide is so cheap and easy to get. However, it is acid, and corrodent to oral cavity, oesophagus （食道）, even the whole digestive system.

 

III. The paint inside the wrapper: I know some people use to rub before they open the wrapper. This may let the paint being left on the chopsticks, and when they eat, they may eat food with paint. And if you use the bamboo chopsticks everyday, it was just like drinking the whole can of paint!

 

Conclusion: Using 衛生筷 is not 衛生 at all. So, for your own health, stop using bamboo chopsticks today.
