knowledge of your audience. This might involve
providing information about a person, an animal
or an object. It might center on information
regarding a process, a how-to speech like how
you usually surf the internet.

Now, for the Main Elements to Writing an

Informative Speech.

I will now be discussing how to deliver a self-

composed informative speech. Can anyone tell
me what is informative?

Yes, to provide useful information. Thank you.

So, the Latin root of informative is the word
‘informare’, which means "to shape, train, (Student raises hand)
instruct, or educate." Something that does those Information is providing useful
things for you is informative. or interesting information.

For a person to compose a self-composed speech

they have to have;

1. Knowledge
With knowledge we can establish credibility by
demonstrating expertise and knowledge of the
subject - conveying information, presenting
ideas, facts and statistics to adequately inform
the audience about the subject.

Is it important to know what message you are

trying to say when speaking in front?

Next is we have;

2. Interest
Conveying the subject with enthusiasm and
including unusual facts or story about the Yes, ma’am.
subject.
Of course, as a speaker, we must be interested
with the information that we are trying to
convey.

Say for example, I am the owner of

iPhone/Apple. I will be giving a speech about
how to grow a business in a seminar, so how can
I show my audience that I am interested of the
product that I will talk about?

That’s correct and of course it is important that To start talking about what

convincing as much if you are the owner of
apple, but you use Samsung, right? Do you
understand?
Yes, ma’am.
We now move on to the five steps for improving
delivery.

I want to see a few hands who are confident in

speaking in public.

Okay, you may put your hands down.

How about the students who are shy to speak in (Student raises hands)
front of the public?

Here are some things that you can practice to

better improve your confidence when it comes to
speaking in public. (Student raises hands)

Step 1: Read aloud your full-sentence outline.

Listen to what you are saying and adjust your
language to achieve a good, clear, simple
sentence structure.

This is a good practice; say you have a book, and

you can read aloud in front of a mirror and check
if your voice is clear.

Here is an example of a sentence and I need a

volunteer to read it loud and clearly.
"It's not about how much we lost. It's about how
much we have left."
(Student raises hands and
Very good, thank you. proceeds to read the sentence in a
loud and clear voice)
Step 2: Practice the speech repeatedly from the
speaking outline. Become comfortable with your
keywords to the point that what you say takes
the form of an easy, natural conversation.

I know a lot of you here have watched English

movies, and I’m sure a lot of you have heard
how the Americans, the British people, the
aussie people speak their English. In this step,
you must practice how to speak without the
fillers of “uhm” “ah” or “you know”, so you can
sound like a natural English speaker. I need

parts of the speech.
Step 4: Practice in front of mirror, tape record
your voice practice, and/or present your speech
to a friend. You should be looking for feedback
on the rate of delivery, volume, pitch, non-verbal
cues such as gesture, card usage if you have,
and eye contact.

In step 4, we will have an activity later regarding

this step. Everyone is guilty of talking in front of
the mirror, right?

When you speak in front of a mirror you can see

the way your mouth and face move as well as
your other body language. Talking to your
reflection can make you feel like you are having
a conversation and will encourage you to
experiment with expansive vocabulary and new
topics. Yes, ma’am.

Our last step for this day is;

Step 5: Do a dress rehearsal of the speech under
conditions as close as possible to those of the
actual speech.

Some people chose to dress up as part of their

presentation, and this can help set the tone of the
speech or reinforce a specific point. A speaker
may choose to wear a handmade sweater in a
talk about knitting to inspire others to begin the
hobby.

Do you have any questions?

E. APPLICATION
 Alright, now let’s see if you learned from the
discussion. Who can deliver a self-informative
speech about the importance of social media in
our society? It doesn’t have to be long. It has to
be precise and knowledgeable.

None, ma’am.

IV. EVALUATION

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, wherever you are. Every day, COVID19
seems to reach a new and tragic milestone. More than 210,000 cases have been reported to
WHO, and more than 9,000 people have lost their lives. Every loss of life is tragedy. It’s also a
motivation to double down and do everything we can do to stop transmission and save lives. We
also need to celebrate our successes. Yesterday, Wuhan reported no new cases for the first time
since the outbreak started. Wuhan provides hope for the rest of the world, that even the most
severe situation can be turned around. Of course, we must exercise caution so the situation can
be reversed.

One thing we are learning is that although older people are the hardest hit, younger people
are not spared. Data from many countries clearly show that people under 50 make up a
significant proportion of patients requiring hospitalization. Today I have a message for the young
people: you are not invincible. This virus could put you in hospital for weeks, or even kill you.
Even if you don’t get sick, the choices you make about where you go could be the difference
between life and death for someone else.
 I’m grateful that so many people are spreading the word and not virus. As I keep saying
solidarity is the key to defeating COVID-19, not only solidarity between countries, but also
between age groups. Thank you for heeding our call for solidarity.
