Introduction
The introduction gives the audience a reason to listen to
the remainder of the speech. A good introduction needs to get the audience’s
attention, state the topic, make the topic relatable, establish credibility,
and preview the main points. Introductions should be the last part of the
speech written, as they set expectations and need to match the content.
Attention getters : The first few sentences of a speech are
designed to catch and maintain the audience’s attention. Attention getters give
the audience a reason to listen to the rest of the speech. Your attention
getter helps the audience understand and reflect on your topic.

Story
A vote of thanks ; is a well-prepared speech
given formally and publicly to thank the host, the organiser and other
participants for their presence and contribution to an event. It is an
important part of every event.
Identify the people you want to thank. This
list usually consists of speakers, guests, participants, organizers,
volunteers, and sponsors. Before you deliver your speech, write down the people
and groups you'll mention so you don't forget anyone. Everyone who helped wants
to feel like they played an important part, so make them feel special.
Be sincere and concise. You don’t have to gush
to show your appreciation. Ironically, a long speech can turn off your
audience—including the people you’re trying to thank. Keep your vote of thanks
short and sweet to make a big impact
Acknowledge the organization that brought everyone
together. Every person in the room is likely to have some affiliation
with the overarching organization.
Thank everyone again. As you wrap up, address
the entire audience with a big “thank you” because they all came together to make
the day a success.
OCCATIONAL
SPEECH
Speeches of Introduction : The first type of special
occasion speech is the speech of introduction, which is a mini-speech given by
the host of a ceremony that introduces another speaker and their speech.
Speeches of Presentation : The second type of
special occasion speech is the speech of presentation. A speech of presentation
is a brief speech given to accompany a prize or honor.
Speeches of Acceptance : The complement to a
speech of presentation is the speech of acceptance. The speech of acceptance is
a speech given by the recipient of a prize or honor. There are three typical
components of a speech of acceptance:
1) Thank the givers of the award or honour,
2) Thank those who
helped you achieve your goal, and
3) Put the award or honour into perspective.
Toasts : At one time or another, almost
everyone is going to be asked to deliver a toast. A toast is a speech designed
to congratulate, appreciate, or remember. First, toasts can be delivered for the
purpose of congratulating someone for an honor, a new job, or getting married.
Eulogies : A eulogy is a speech given in honor
of someone who has died (Don’t confuse “eulogy” with “elegy,” a poem or song of
mourning). Not to sound depressing, but since everyone who is alive will
someday die, the chance of your being asked to give a eulogy someday for a
friend or family member is significant.
Speeches of Farewell : A speech of farewell
allows someone to say good-bye to one part of his or her life as he or she is
moving on to the next part of life.
Motivational Speeches : A motivational speech
is designed not only to make an audience experience emotional arousal (fear,
sadness, joy, excitement) but also to motivate the audience to do something
with that emotional arousal.
Religious speech : is fairly self-explanatory;
it is designed to incorporate religious ideals into a motivational package to
inspire an audience into thinking about or changing aspects of their religious
lives.
