When speaking in formal situations, especially public events such as school assemblies, important family occasions or debates we usually use Standard Australian English because we want our message to be understood clearly. We should also use language in an interesting way, so that our audience wants to listen.

When participating in informal discussions, we use more informal language when working together in small groups, but more formal language when reporting to the rest of the class on the ideas discussed. 1.

    Persuasive speeches have been the most challenging speeches in this class for me. The goal is to influence the belief of an audience, convincing them to choose a side. The first persuasive speech I done I was nervous for some odd reason. When it comes to informative speeches I can talk a lot, but it’s different with persuasive speeches. Gaining the attention of the audience enough to persuade them is the major key to a good persuasive speech. Speech 3 was the longest persuasive speech being four to six minutes and it seemed to be the longest. With persuasive speeches, you want to provide the audience with enough information so they’ll be able to choose a side, most likely the side you’re arguing for.…

Informing and persuading speaking are used in everyday situations but it’s important to know the differences between the two, the factors that make them distinct from one another.…

    Good persuasive speeches comprise three parts. Begin your speech with an attention-getter to hook the listeners. Once the listener becomes interested in the topic, outline the problem or the need of the issue and anticipate any counter-arguments. To drive the point home, present a call to action. Persuasive speeches should be short, concise and to the point. You can give a good persuasive speech in just five minutes if you have the right topic.…
