Firstly, you should compose a speech and only afterward, perform before the public. In addition, we should mention reading comprehension. It’s better to read several books, guides and samples about speechmaking and topics related to your theme. Therefore, this kind of academic assignments is quite complicated.
Many people experience great fear before the public. Therefore, even a well-planned speech may get messy due to overly high nervousness. We understand this issue and believe that you can overcome it. Firstly, you should win over your own fears. Secondly, if you compose a perfect speech your fears will fade away just because you know that your speech is actually great.
This guide provides effective tips and recommendations used by professional speechwriters. We have chosen an informative speech. This assignment is commonly given for speaking classes as one of the first speeches. The definition is very simple. You should choose a certain topic and provide interesting information to cover it. In most cases, teachers and professors allow their students to make their own choice. Therefore, this part is beneficial. You are welcome to discuss whatever you wish. Even some fun themes will do.
The Main Things to Consider
In order to write a professional informative speech from scratch, you should undertake several essential steps.
- Select a speech topic. You’re free about topic selection. This is a huge advantage because you will be able to select a topic, which is well-known to you and thus, will be more enthusiastic about. Your topic should be interesting and informative. You may some humor as well. If you struggle with your topic selection, we have a few ideas for you: my favorite hobby, the food we should consume, the best sport for me, why we need pets, how to protect our environment, effective measures to reduce the number of crimes, the importance of technology in our life, how to strengthen relations with parents, the influence of social media on teenagers, how to get rid of bad habits etc.
- Research your topic. The next step is to decide what exactly to cover. For example, you wish to write about technology in our life. This is a very broad topic. Narrow it. Research your topic. Review it from different angles and note all the ideas that occur to your mind. Afterward, make a choice among them. For example, “Main Advantages of Technological Progress”. This variant is a great choice because it is interesting for most audiences, especially for young people.
- Write a good attention-grabbing line. Begin your speech with a great opener. Grab the attention of your readers with something captivating and original. Don’t write that technology provides us with multiple conveniences. This is quite obvious. Instead of such boring sentences write something like this “Technology can make us better and smarter. We won’t be so smart and quick if it is taken away from us instantly”. After you get the attention, implement a thesis statement. It should be brief and informative. Discover the main purpose of your project. “With this project, I wish to prove how helpful technology is and why it has become an inevitable part of our everyday life”.
- Fill the main plot with effective key points. The main plot develops your thesis. It should contain several key points that prove your idea. Make your speech like the one which flows. Make smooth transitions and connect them to one another. Depending on our topic, we should operate with facts that are closely related to the main question. You may highlight advantages of technology for our convenience, self-development, improvement of life in general, enhancement of knowledge, productivity at work, and simple entertainment. Yes, technological progress also serves as a great medium of fun to help us unwind from time to time. A stress-relieving option improves our mental health. Don’t forget about the examples. Thus, you may write “Thanks to technological inventions factories and plants throughout the globe create products in a record period of time. This helps to satisfy the needs of customers and improves economic conditions”. Afterward, you may add some statistics about how the general well-being of Japan or China improved now compared to 1950-ies.
- Make a brief synopsis. Make a concise conclusion. Restate your main viewpoint and interpret the results you’ve received. Give your personal evaluation to your research. “I think, technology is our friend and we should never deny its importance…”
Additional Points to Consider
There are some other important prompts we wish to share with you. Take into your consideration the following points:
- Consider your style. Learn all the demands of the assigned style. Typically, this is APA or MLA.
- Revise your paper. Reread your speech several times to make sure that there are no mistakes. Ask other people to read too for more dependable results.

Cross River State Governor, Bassey Otu has inaugurated the newly constituted Governing Councils of the University of Cross River State (UNICROSS) and the University of Education and Entrepreneurship (UEE), Akamkpa.
At the ceremony on Thursday in Calabar, the Governor urged the members to drive institutional excellence, ensure accountability, and align with global best practices.
Governor Otu acknowledged that UNICROSS had long suffered from what many perceived as gross neglect, particularly in terms of physical development.
“After a deep thought and consultation, and having considered all available facts and evidence, I am today opening a new chapter in the relationship between government and its institutions of higher education,” the Governor declared.
He emphasised that while his administration is committed to a renewed focus on higher education, this attention must be matched with transparency and responsibility by the universities’ management.
The same expectation, he said, applies to the University of Education and Entrepreneurship in Akamkpa.
Governor Otu stated that the appointments into both councils and management were carefully considered and reflect the state’s finest minds and seasoned professionals.
“I have taken pains in appointing some of the best that the State has in both the Governing Councils and Management of the institutions. I implore you to apply your wealth of experience in making the institutions world-class,” he charged.
He also stressed the importance of respecting the distinct roles of Councils and management, pointing out that most university problems emanate from role conflict or interference. He tasked each of the councils to stick strictly to its clearly defined functions.
The Governor encouraged council members to leverage their networks to attract new sources of funding and value to their institutions.
“Do not limit yourselves to already known threads of resource sources.”, he said.

Governor Sani reminded the students and lecturers at the event that ‘’no meaningful development can be achieved in a state of chaos, disunity and mutual mistrust.’’
However, he said that ‘’going by your conduct over the period that I have been at the helm of affairs of our state so far, you are reliable partners of progress and I can count on you every step of the way.’’
The governor recalled that Kaduna State was under siege owing to the insecurity in some of the local government areas, which had dire consequences on agricultural and business activities.
He noted that the security challenges have now been drastically reduced owing to the combined commitment of security agencies, resulting in safer high ways, people returning to farms and the opening of local markets.
