READ
● Read speeches involve the most preparation
since the speaker has written and practiced
the speech beforehand. The speaker becomes
familiar with the content and can read
through the written script during delivery.
Notes are rarely used and the speaker is ready
for any potential questions.

"Climate change has become a reality much faster than all scenarios predicted.
Climate change is not just an environmental issue, as too many people still
believe. It is an all-encompassing threat, to health, to agriculture, to peace and
security, to the very ground millions of people live on, to the global economy. We
are now at a point where even the last government has given up denying this
reality. Storms, droughts, and rising sea-levels are bleak signs of what we are
facing. Large regions will become uninhabitable in the near future because they
will either be flooded or will experience long periods of drought. "Developing
countries are going to suffer disproportionately if the global community continues
the game of waiting for someone else to pick up the slack and take action
against this monumental threat. As Kofi Annan said when he opened the Nairobi
climate conference in November, there remains a frightening lack of leadership

● The speaker that has memorized their
speech uses cues about the content, such
as main points and phrases, to help recall
the entire speech correctly. This method
of delivery does not include note cards.
While practice is very important, the
speaker must be sure to avoid sounding
too rehearsed.

IMPROMPTU
Impromptu speeches are made on the spot for
any given topic. The speaker needs to collect
their thoughts quickly in order to craft a
coherent and thoughtful speech in a short
amount of time. This type of speeches is often
marked with a sense of energy and urgency
that are not present in other types of speeches.

● Extemporaneous speeches are prepared but
are also considered natural and conversational.

guide.

research, clear organization, and practiced
delivery, but is neither read nor memorized.

7 C's of Communication:
1. Clear (Clarity) - This is ensuring that what you're saying is communicated with no
room for misunderstanding. Avoid jargon and idioms, and make sure the purpose of
your message is clear.
2. Completeness - Make sure nothing is missing. Complete communication ensures
the audience has all the information they need and are ready to come to a desired
conclusion or complete a call for action.
3. Conciseness - Convey your points in a direct way. Short sentences are more
likely to keep the attention of the listener, so make it a succinct message with a clear
point.
4. Concreteness - Your message is precise and backed by confidence as well as the
use of supporting facts and figures.
5. Courtesy - Being polite, considerate and respectful will make your communication
much more effective. You should also be open, transparent and honest as respect for
your audience.
6. Correctness - Make use of the most suitable language for specific points. Keep
your message free of mistakes, whether that's grammatical, spelling or other
SLIDESMANIA
inaccuracies.
7. Consider - Take the audience into consideration. Research their background, age,
viewpoints, level of expertise and etc. In order to make the most impactful speech.
