Speech Outline

Specific speech goal

I would like my audience learn how to raise a house rabbit correctly.

Introduction

Today I am going to tell you how to raise a house rabbit. I choose this topic because I have a cute bunny at home now. Most people have misunderstandings about raising a rabbit, including me. Before I have a pet, I didn't know anything. Therefore, I found lot of materials to help me and then I adopt my little bunny after I prepared. In this case, I would like to share all the information I know with you.

Thesis statement

There are many species of rabbit; however, the way to take care of this creature is basically the same. Only you keep some important point in mind, your bunny will be healthier than you are.

Body

I.                   There are many breeds of rabbit and I pick up a few special types that have obvious characteristics to introduce to you.

A.        The first one is Dutch Rabbit (the same species of my pet). it is easily identified by its color pattern. As you can see there are usually two colors on its body, and they exactly separate its round body into two sections. Usually there is a white triangle on its face (except mine), and the other color on its body might be black, blue, brown, or grey.

B.         Lop rabbit is the most popular type nowadays because its special shape of ears. They are known for their distinctive floppy ears that make them look like puppies.

C.         Angora rabbit is mainly bred for its wool because its hair is long, silky, and soft.

D.        Dwarf rabbit is the smallest type of house rabbit. Their ears are very small and carried high on the head like a little mice.

E.         Himalayan rabbit is white with dark points on the nose. They are born all white but the markings come in as the age.

II.                The most important part of raising a rabbit is feeding.

A.        Hay: Lots of people have a misconception that rabbit should eat only carrots. In fact, they should eat mainly hay and usually they eat plenty of timothy hay. But there are other types available such as Alfalfa and Oat hay. Alfalfa should be given less frequently to adult rabbits because of the higher protein and sugar content; instead timothy hay should be readily available for your rabbits at all time. When choosing hay, make sure it looks and smells fresh.

B.         Fresh water must always be available to your rabbits or they will thirsty to die.

C.         Look for pellets that are relatively high in fiber and low in protein. You will need to limit your rabbit's pellet intake as it ages.

D.        A varied assortment of vegetables should be a part of rabbit's daily diet.

E.         Treat should be given occasionally to encourage rabbit's good behavior because bunny treats are often high in fat and sugar that are harm to health.

III.             An indoor pen should be large enough to accommodate your bunny. The more room the better (at least 4 times the length of the rabbit). Carpet or linoleum can be added to a cage that had a grid floor to protect the rabbit's feet. Basic necessities for the cage include a hay box, water bottle, and food bowl. Toys are optional.

IV.             There are still other points you should keep in mind to raise a rabbit correctly.

A.        Rabbits can take a bath but don't do it if it is necessary because they will clean themselves by licking their fur everyday. Remember dry their hair as soon as possible.

B.         When rabbits play, they will often do a BINKY, which is a happy dance where he will jump in to the air, turn around, and take off running. Don't worry if this behavior appears.

C.         Rabbits love to dig and chew but need to do so in a nondestructive manner. Wires are one of the main targets of bunnies. Their sharp teeth can slice through your wires quickly. Keep all wires out of the reach of your bunnies.

D.        Everything will become easier if your rabbit is well-trained, especially in litter training. When a rabbit is placed in a new area, it is common for him to mark the area with his droppings. After he gets acquainted to the area, he naturally starts favoring a certain location. You can put a little box there and placing the hay close to the litter box can speed up the training, since rabbits like to defecate and eat at the same time.

Conclusion

I hope the information I shared did help you understand raising a house rabbit and also correct your misconceptions of rabbit. Thank you for your listening.

Section A 49482026 汪斌卿

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.
