Informative Speech :)

Informative speech by roseangel

“Thin People Who Never Get Fat!” That’s the title of my informative speech. Basically, I just want to talk to health conscious individuals about why some people never get fat. With this topic, the audience would get to know the reason why some people don’t get fat and why some skinny people are healthy.  

For the introduction, I would like to differentiate healthy and unhealthy person. This would give them the idea that not all fat people are healthy and skinny ones as unhealthy. Also, I will talk about healthy and unhealthy foods. For the main part, I will discuss about metabolism and the science behind being skinny. I will explain why this circumstance still happens even if they eat a lot. For the conclusion, I’ll just summarize my whole speech and give my closing remarks.

B.     Healthy and unhealthy foods

Nervousness

                Nervousness is really something I can’t avoid especially in public speaking. That’s my main problem and it has a really big effect in my performance so I’m really wishing that I can control it. And so as we discuss it in class, I’m really amazed to know that we can control it and use it for our own advantage. It made me really happy and worry free about our upcoming speeches.

                In controlling nervousness, I suggest you to have a good night sleep, prepare yourself for the things that might happen so that when something goes wrong, you know what to do. And lastly, enjoy what you’re doing and relax! 

                My possible topics for my informative speech are 1) how fruits keep us healthy and 2) intelligence quotient of people. I want to discuss how fruits keep us healthy so that we would know what fruit to eat when we feel something’s wrong in our body. In intelligence quotient, I want to know if it limits a person to do things they wanted and how it affects us.
