...SPEECH TEXT INTRODUCTION The existence of Internet has obviously given us huge impacts in many aspects including in Education. Today’s students are all lucky since they are all born in high-technology era with numerous of gadgets and things to ease their lives. It is undeniable that Internet has helped us in many ways consistently with the modernised people in this modernisation ages. However, is the education today relies on Internet merely? Is today’s students are too lazy that they trained their brains to take whatever they learned, without the urges to find more? Well, an Irish poet, William Butler Yeats once said, “Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.” which indicates today’s phenomenon, where many students seems to seek for shortcuts in searching for answers rather than using their minds to be creative in finding solutions. Are you a part of that people? In this case, I am strongly believed that Google Translate is not the best alternative to improve students’ English skills. How many of you used to use Google Translate while doing your assignments? Is anybody here have not used it even once? So today, let me show you why do I believe that Google Translate is not the best alternative for us. Let me give you a picture of the impacts of using Google Translate.

...How to Prepare a Persuasive Speech Public Speaking Tips for College Students Aug 19, 2009 Carol Rzadkiewicz When it comes time for students to deliver a persuasive speech, if they follow certain guidelines, they can deliver a speech that is both powerful and effective. Students are required to take public speaking in college as part of any undergraduate program of study; and of all the speeches students will be called upon to deliver, the most difficult and challenging will probably be the persuasive speech. There are steps, however, that students can take to help them prepare an effective, perhaps even outstanding, persuasive speech. Choose a Speech Topic The first step is to select a topic. When it comes to selecting one, though, students should keep two things in mind: • Since they will be expected to conduct research, preparation will be far less tedious if they select a topic in which they are truly interested and about which they would like to know more. • Ideally, they should select a topic that deals with an issue about which they genuinely care, for if they care, their passion will be evident and passion often helps sway an audience to accept a speaker’s opinion or argument. Sample Persuasive Speech Topics Although there are countless possibilities when it comes to topics for persuasive speeches, a few that students might consider include the following: • Should capital punishment be abolished? • Should marijuana be legalized? • Does intelligent...

...What is a leader? A leader is a person who strives to better themselves and those around them. Good leaders are loyal and stay true to their word. They do what they think is right, no matter the consequences. In Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, Caesar gets assassinated by his so called “friends”, who turned their backs on him. Mark Antony shows many of the qualities that leaders hold in the scene of Caesar’s funeral. Mark Antony was a close friend of Julius Caesar. In the scene of his speech, he proves to be a loyal friend to Caesar. Not only is he confident and noble, but he is also very persuasive and strong minded. When Brutus and the conspirators assassinated Caesar, Antony promised Brutus that he would not speak against the conspirators....

This is truly a celebration - a celebration of the contributions women make in every aspect of life: in the home, on the job, in their communities, as mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, learners, workers, citizens and leaders. It is also a coming together, much the way women come together every day in every country. We come together in fields and in factories. In village markets and supermarkets. In living rooms and board rooms. Whether it is while playing with our children in the park, or washing clothes in a river, or taking a break at the office water cooler, we come together and talk about our aspirations and concerns. And time and again, our talk turns to our children and our families...

Skills, knowledge and understanding: Develops an opinion with supporting evidence Applies the appropriate language to persuade the particular audience Sample Persuasive Speech: Using cell phones while driving is dangerous Cell phones are troublesome while driving. When a driver keeps talking or listening to music he or is not supposed to focus off the road. A cell phone makes a great difference. It is not forbidden to talk to a passenger but it is not recommended to talk to an invisible cell phone communicator. The use of cell phones is the most common distraction, but the use of a hand-held cell phone increases the risk by 1.3 times, which is less than reaching for items on the seat or in the glove compartment. New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, California, Washington State, Utah, and Washington, D.C. prohibit drivers from using hand-held cell phones, irrespective of weather conditions: at all times, not only on wet and icy roads when a driver decides on dialing or text messaging. According to recent research, a driver talking over a cell phone is four times more endangered to collide with another vehicle than a driver who does not use a cell phone while driving. Cell phone distraction...

...a long while since public speakers are concerned with various dimensions of speech such as sounds, gestures, syntax, rhetoric, meanings, speech acts, moves, strategies and turns. In this paper our main focus is on the rhetoric of a speech. As we know where rhetoric is concerned we should inevitably deal with literature. In other words rhetoric is like a joint which connect literature with politics and establish a method of analyzing political speeches called polio-linguistic approach. Thus we can consider political discourses as pieces of literature. Literary techniques especially rhetorical devices serve as one of the most distinctive features of the greatest and most influential speeches of all time. There is no shortage of rhetorical devices used in these speeches, but we can prioritize them by count of repetitions in political discourses. In this study first I have represented the necessity of using these types of persuasive skills in political discourses, the methods within which politicians take advantages of these skills and the different sides of a successful speech. Then after a glance through different rhetorical devices, excerpts from four of the greatest speeches in history are provided with the rhetorical devices indicated in them. Finally a quite deep examination of the most important of these rhetorical devices is presented and the conclusion is made through comparing these samples. The primary purpose of every presenter or rhetorician is to grab people`s...

...CMST 2060 SAMPLE OUTLINE Persuasive Speech INTRODUCTION I. Attention-getter A. An attention-getter can be an anecdote, bold claim, rhetorical question, interesting fact or statistic, or something else. The important thing is that you make it interesting. B. Attention-getters should, of course, be relevant to your topic. II. Orienting material A. Introduce your topic clearly and quickly. B. Relate your topic to the audience. C. Establish credibility (what is the nature of your connection with this topic? Why are you the one best equipped to tell us about it?) III. Thesis/topic statement. A. For the persuasive speech, the thesis statement should identify all parts of your policy solution. B. Remember, the thesis is not your preview. a. Rather than a roadmap, your thesis should function as a kind of “teaser,” designed to entice and engage your audience. b. Leave the preview of your speech to the next part. IV. Preview. A. In one sentence, provide us an overview of your main points. B. A preview is a psychological roadmap. Or, if you prefer, it’s an appetizer for the main course. (transition) Transitions are the glue or the stitching that holds your speech together. Example introduction: I. On June 1, Rosie Vallejo received a payday loan for $1,000.

...Elaboration Likelihood Model June 26, 2012 Why do these people have these jobs? Why is this text so disturbing? The Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM) The Elaboration Likelihood Model was developed by Richard Petty and John Cacioppo The ELM proposes two routes to persusaion. The central route involves careful scrutiny of message logic and arguments The peripheral route involves consideration of cues in the message environment such as source credibility and message design The ELM: Which Route do you Take? The ELM proposes that people will take the central or peripheral route based on several factors Motivation. If people see the message as relevant, they will be motivated to process centrally Ability. People must have the ability and be in a situation where central processing is possible The ELM: Outcomes of the Two Routes Messages processed through the central route will lead to attitude change that is relatively enduring, resistant, and predictive of behavior. Messages processed through the peripheral route will lead to attitude change that more temporary, more easily changed, and less likely to predict actual behavior Consider this handout as you work in groups Exploring the Peripheral The peripheral route processes the message without any active thinking about the attributes of the issue or the object of consideration. Recipients rely on cues to make quick decisions, including Reciprocation – in a social universe, turn taking and sharing are...
