Persuasive speech

Speech title: Staying far away from obesity

 

Audience Adaptation Plan

1. Audience attitude:

Nowadays most people regard obesity as appearance problems rather than physical, mental or even social problems, which we often ignore them. Obesity is indeed more than a cosmetic concern. Numerous data have pointed out that the number of obese people in industrialized countries has increased so significantly that you can even call obesity an "epidemic." Generally, people know that obesity associates with health problems but they do not exactly know about what kinds of specific risks may trigger. So I think my audience does not much know about the serious consequence of obesity.

2. Reason:

I believe that the three serious problems that obesity has been linked to are the increasing risks for many diseases and complications, the possibility to develop negative psychological effects and particularly, causing everlasting effects on your social quality of life.  

3. Selecting an organization to meet audience needing:

First I will give a basic definition of obesity to know how obesity is measured. Second, I will show my audience the statistics about the obesity population in Taiwan to highlight how serious it is. Then I will state the three reasons why we should all stay away from obesity. Finally, I will make a brief conclusion to strongly convince my audience to avoid obesity.

Getting and maintaining interest

In order to maintain my audience's interest, I will briefly interpret some daily professional terms such as UVA, UVB and SPF to make my speech more practical to their life. And then I will offer some simple but useful tips for my audience to mount the most effective defense from sun.

Facilitating understanding

By using visual aids (the power point) to know what is UVA, UVB and how they attacks our skins. Then I will explain the definition of SPF and PA+ and offer a basic concept by simple table. In the last part, I will give some important and relevant tips about sun protection that can apply to their daily life. 

Increasing retention

However, I will use visual aids, examples and table to help my audience retain what I have said.

 

Speech Outline

Specific speech goal

I would like my audience to know how important the sun protection is and how to mount the most effective defense against sun light.

Introduction

I. We all know sunshine is the light of our life, the warmth of our days, the energy for an entire living plant and a word which sounds happy and bright.

II. But have you ever known that the sun's UV rays can do irreparable harm to our skin?

   III. So now, I want to share with you some information towards sun protection.

Thesis statement

The three basic points that enable the audience to protect their skins against sunshine are getting a basic understanding about UVA and UVB, realizing the SPF and PA system and applying sunscreen in proper way.

Body

I. How to differentiate UVA from UVB:

A. UVA are so sneaking that people often ignore the damages they do.

    1. They contribute to the aging of your skin, DNA damage and possibly skin     cancers.

    2. They cannot be measured in the SPF testing and they can pass through the glass.

    B. UVB are the sun villain because they roast your skin.

        1. They account for most skin damages, such as sunburn, premature aging    and the most skin cancers.

        2. They show high concentration at the noon and summer and they cannot pass glass but are reflected by light-color surface.

II. Get a basic understanding about SPF and PA+

    A. SPF is used to measure the protection against UVB provided by sunscreen.

         1. SPF indicates the time you can stay in the sun without burning when applying sunscreens.

         2. Wearing over higher SPF product doesn't offer more sun protection.

B. PA system is used to mean the protection grade of UVA.

III. There are some tips to shield yourself form the sun.

    A. Sunscreens only work with proper application.

B. Make sure your sunscreen contained effective chemicals that can offer the best UVA and UVB protections.

C. Wearing protective clothing and avoiding old sunscreens are also important.

Conclusion

Remember, with a close of prevention and the right sun protection, we all can still have fun under the sun and being snow white!
