Introduction:

From your travel experience, you will come up with messages that you would like to 
give the public. One of the ways of bringing these to the public is through a speech. 
 
This task addresses how you can prepare yourself for a speech that sends out a 
relevant message during one of the activities for &ldquo;Bringing it to the Public&rdquo;. 
 
Before anything else, you have to come up with the message that you want to send 
to the public. But what form should the message take? It should be one phrase. 
How? 
 
Imagine that during your travels, you visited many villages, towns and cities and you 
discovered that malaria really is causing a great deal of suffering and death. You 
could come up with the following message for the public: 
 
&ldquo;It is possible for any family to avoid catching malaria.&rdquo; 
 
How will you go and organise your speech to send out this message? You know that 
a speech is made with words, by explaining something to people. So, you could start 
by putting up a poster in public that invites people to participate in the speech. 
 
Then you need to organise the structure of the speech so that it is easy for people to 
follow and understand, and not too long. For example, you could structure a speech 
about the example above, like this: 
&nbsp;
<div style="margin-left: 40px;">1. Present the facts that show that Malaria is an existing problem. 
2. Present the facts that show that it is possible to avoid catching Malaria. 
3. Present real proposals for what to do to stop mosquitoes reproducing in the 
area. 
4. Present real ways to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes. 
5. Give the public the chance to ask questions and answer all questions with a 
debate. 
6. Thank everyone for participating.</div>
 
Having structured the speech, you should rehearse what you are going to say. 
 
Practice with your fellow students and ask them for comments about what you can 
improve. You should be aware of your tone of voice, your gestures, pauses, the 
speed at which you speak, you should be calm and self-assured that what you are 
saying is right. 
 
If possible, record your rehearsals so that you can evaluate yourself. By listening to 
your voice, you can evaluate yourself and easily recognise what to improve and 
how. 
 
Remember that this is not merely a school exercise; it is a real speech to a real, not 
imaginary, audience. People like to hear about things that are relevant to their lives. 
So, go and prepare your speech. 
 
Get to work. 
Good luck!
