how to start introduction on speech????

please help me...

Welcome!

DON'T start any speech's or paper's first draft by writing the introduction! How can you introduce a paper or speech that you haven't written yet?

Follow the writing process:

Prewriting: Brainstorm, research, plan, outline, thesis statement

Writing: Write first draft by starting with section II of your outline; write the introduction after the body of the paper is written; write the conclusion last.

Polishing: Revise, concentrating first on the body of the paper, then the intro, then the concl (revision = making sure ideas are logical and sequential and support your thesis); proofread (spelling, grammar, usage, etc.)

Do you have a thesis yet? Have you done your brainstorming (and maybe research) yet? Have you written an outline?

To start an introduction for a speech, you can follow these steps:

1. Grab attention: Begin with a strong opening line or a thought-provoking question to capture the audience's attention. This could be a surprising fact or a compelling anecdote related to your topic.

2. Introduce yourself: Provide a brief introduction of yourself, including your name, relevant background, or your connection to the topic. Keep it concise and to the point.

3. Establish relevance: Explain why the topic of your speech is important and relevant to the audience. Highlight how it affects them or society as a whole to make them interested in what you have to say.

4. State the purpose: Clearly state the purpose of your speech. Let the audience know what you aim to accomplish or the main message you want to convey. This helps set expectations and gives them a sense of direction.

5. Preview the main points: Briefly outline the key points or sections that you will cover in your speech. This gives the audience an overview of what to expect and helps them follow along throughout your presentation.

Remember, the introduction sets the tone for your speech, so it's important to make it engaging and captivating. Practice delivering your introduction with confidence to create a strong first impression and grab the audience's attention.
