Introductory Speech –Abdullah – A Friendly Key
Introduction
Attention Getter: Can you imagine a house without a key? A car without a key? How about success without a key?
Introduce Classmate and Object: I am Manisha, and I recently had the pleasure to get to know an inspiring personality whose name is Abdullah. I am so pleased to have the chance to introduce this intelligent young man in front of this class. Today, I am going to tell you why Abdullah reminds me of a key.
Preview of Main points: A few seconds of a smile leaves an impression that can last a lifetime, and that was the impression I got from Abdullah when we first met. Can you imagine how I’d feel about introducing him if his expression was otherwise? Just like you need a key to enter a new home, that smile of him was the key to enter his world and establish a new friendship. We all know that keys are mainly designed to lock and unlock and if you think about vehicle keys, they even start the engine. Like the key that starts, Abdullah is determined to start his own company by pursuing his goal of achieving a computer science degree. Like the key that unlocks, Abdullah wants to mentor youths and help them unlock the door to personal excellence.
Transition to first main point: Comparing someone to a key might not make sense at first so please allow me to open the doors to clarification by telling you about friendliness and feeling comfortable.
First Main Point – The same way a key lets you inside a home and makes you feel at ease, Abdullah has the ability to make you feel comfortable.
Sub Point: Just like a key can open a door and welcome you inside, Abdullah has the ability to make you feel welcomed. Like I said in the beginning of this speech, he welcomed our friendship with his warm smile. I knew it right then that he was going to be easy to talk to.
Transition: Friendliness is one of many qualities of Abdullah. Let me tell you more about this young man by
