Informative SpeechOutlineTitle: PimplesIntroduction (Two stories): A couple of days ago, on November 22, I saw two pieces of news about negative effects on adolescents, which were startling to me. The first news was about the worries of a painful mother whose daughter suffered from pimples a lot and became self-contemptuous. Another piece of news described that an 18-year-old boy was getting pessimistic, or even had to drop out from school.Thesis statement: With the improvement of living standards, the reasons of inducing pimples are still growing. And the growth of pimples has been a serious problem among young people both in physical and in mental. Therefore, it is very necessary for us to talk about the issue and to emphasize the importance of having good habits.Preview: During my speech, firstly I am going to introduce some basic knowledge of pimples briefly. Secondly, I want to talk about some typical reasons which can cause pimples. Then finally I plan to share several precautionary measures with you that you can benefit from or to avoid the annoyance.BodyFirst main point: What are pimple and the present situation among young people?(Transition: It is not enough to know the case. The more important thing we should know is that why it happens under such uncertain conditions.) Second main point: I am ready to point out or disclose some indubitable reasons to this problem to draw your attention.(Transition: As we all know, a large number of treatment methods have been developed by doctors and experts, while in our daily life a few littledetails should be paid much attention, too.)Third main point: I am going to tell you some good habits to some extent to avoidpimples besides the medical therapy.Summary: Given that pimple has been causing a lot of problems to our adolescents, I strongly suggest that you remember all tips I have discussed above. Conclusion: From the two stories I told you at the very beginning, I hope our young people are always able to pay more attention to our health, form good habits and keep a positive mood so that beauty will be with us forever.Bibliography:/wiki/Pimple/wiki/Acne_vulgarisChongqing Morning, November 22, 2011。

Organizational Pattern: Topical INTRODUCTION I.Attention Getter: Six months ago, my 78-year-old grandmother was quickly losing her independence. Pain medications helped somewhat, but the side effects created their own problems. Then my grandmother tried acupuncture. After six weeks, she could once again do the things her arthritis had prevented her from doing. Acupuncture restored herImpressed by my grandmother’sacupuncture in combination with Western medical techniques.(Transition: Let’s start by looking at a typical acupuncture treatment.) BODY I.Acupuncture is the insertion of needles into the skin to achieve a balanced flow of energy, which in turn restores and preserves health.A. Acupuncturists in the United States use sterilized needles that are individuallypackaged and are disposed of after a single use.B. The needles are so thin that the process is essentially painless.1. Acupuncture needles are much smaller than the needles used for drawing blood orgetting shots.2. Here are some needles I received from my acupuncturist and will pass aroundafter my speech.a. They are so thin that you can hardly tell when they are inserted.b. There is usually no sensation other than pain relief once they have beeninserted.C.After being left in for 20 to 30 minutes while you lie in a darkened room, the needlesare removed and your treatment is over.(Internal Transition: Now that you know what happens when you are treated by an acupuncturist, you’re probably wondering how acu puncture works.)II.Acupuncture works by improving the flow of energy in the body.The process is explained by Dr. Felix Mann in Acupuncture: The Ancient Chinese Artof Healing and How it Works Scientifically.Traditional Chinese medicine holds that every life process is based on the flow ofvital energy through the body.This energy—known in Chinese as chi—flows along channels or pathways calledmeridians.1.The meridians cover the entire body, running from the top of the head to thebottom of the feet and down both arms.2.When the free flow of energy through these meridians is blocked, the result ispain, illness, disease, or other physical problems.D.The aim of acupuncture is to restore the open flow of energy through the meridians.1.This is done by placing the needles at specific points on the meridians.2.Altogether there are more than 1,000 acupuncture points on the meridians.3.In China there is a saying: “There is no pain if there is free flow; if there is pain,there is no free flow.”(Internal Transition: Now that you know how acupuncture works, let’s look at some of the medical conditions that can be treated by acupuncture.)III.The evidence is clear that acupuncture works in treating a wide range of medical conditions.’s website lists more than 40 conditions that can beAnnals of Internal Medicine confirms that acupuncture relieves low-itsurgery.(Internal Transition: So now that you know some of the medical conditions that can be treated with acupuncture, let’s look at who is using it.)IV. A number of clinics and hospitals are combining acupuncture with Western medicine to provide their patients the benefits of both.A.Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston has added acupuncture to its wellnesscenter.B.Dr. Lonnie Zeltzer of the Mattel Chil dren’s Hospital at UCLA says that acupuncture“really does help. Most children accept acupuncture, and in fact, really feel goodabout it.”C.Neurologist Allan Gordon, Director of the Center Wasser Pain ManagementCenter at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto, Canada, says that adding acupunctureto the hospital expands “the treatment available to chronic pain sufferers” andprovides “multiple options for care to our patients.”D.The National Institutes for Health report that more than 8 million Americans havetried acupuncture, and its use throughout the rest of the Western world is growingfast.CONCLUSIONI.Thesis/Review: Today, we have learned what happens during an acupuncture treatment,how acupuncture works, some of the illnesses that can be treated with acupuncture, and the growing integration of acupuncture with Western approaches to medicine.II.Clincher: After years of skepticism, the West is finally beginning to recognize that acupuncture is a highly effective way to improve health and to reduce pain and suffering.Just ask my grandmother.NOTE: You will need to add your References (Works Cited) page to your outline (should be a separate page)Sample Informative SPEAKER NOTESNOTE CARD 1, SIDE 1NOTE CARD 1, SIDE 2 BODY I.

Informative Speech Outline

Informative Speech OutlineShirley Hicks July 9th“A history of digital fonts”General Purpose: To informSpecific purpose statement:To show fellow communications class members what’s possible with digital fonts.Thesis Statement: Typographical and font knowledge will enhance your visual communications.Introduction:I.Who here has used their word processing program to make signs? Or posters for anevent? Did you use the fonts that came with the operating system? Do you like them?Are you bored with them?II.Today, I’m going to introduce you to the wonderful world of digital fonts.A.According to Allan Haley in the November 2007 issue of STEP Inside Design,there are now over 200,000 different computer fonts available. That was twoyears ago – and the author was only counting the Latin Roman alphabets. BodyI.Humans have been keeping written records for over 5,000 years.A.Georges Jean, in Writing, the Story of Alphabets and Scripts, states that the firstrecord keeping system, written on clay, was developed by the Sumeriancivilization around 4,000 BCE. The Sumerians used triangular reeds to drawsymbols in the clay, which was then baked for permanence.B. A thousand years after starting to use pictograms, the Sumerians began usingthe same symbols to represent individual sounds. These symbols started tobe used by other language groups. The version used by the Phoenicians is thebasis of most modern alphabets. According to ’s page onalphabets we have over 67 different writing systems in use around the worldtoday.How scripts developed into printed fonts.II.Warren Chappell notes in A Short History of the Printed Word, that from ancient times through to the Middle Ages, scribing, or the transcription of documents andinformation, was a labour intensive industry throughout Europe. It was expensive to commission a book!A.Styles of writing evolved from angular Roman capitals into rounded scriptsallowing the scribe to squeeze more copy into less space – and in less time.Most of these handwritten scripts were later recreated as printing fonts – doyou recognize any names?1.Caroline miniscule, the model for the first lower case printing fonts,was created in 738 CE for a large-scale commission of new religioustexts by new King of the Franks, Charlemagne.2.The gothic scripts, Textur in Germany and black letter in England,were developed in the early 11th century.3.Humanistic Script and Chancery Cursive, scripts used in court,government and the church, came into use in the early 16th century.B.The next big technological change occurred when Johannes Gutenbergdeveloped movable – and reusable – type.1.Gutenberg’s genius was figuring out how to use jeweller’s tools to cutfont masters from steel, and then to create moulds from whichadditional letterforms could be cast. The cost and time savings wereenormous.2.Over the next four hundred years, the number of characters in usegrew. Printers and readers noticed that a mixture of font types,heights and weights made for a more readable page.Digital fontsIII.According to Alex W. White, in Thinking with Type, the 1974 development of the font drawing program Ikarus, allowed for the creation of the first vector outlined fonts.A. A vector is a curve that is described mathematically. Mathematicaldescription of the individual letter shapes allows them to be processed andscaled easily within a computer program.B.This development, in combination with the 1976 launch of Monotype’s firstlaser typesetter, laid the groundwork for the eighties desktop publishingrevolution.C.When Altsys launched Fontographer, a font development program, in 1986,the cost of font development crashed.1.Now, anyone who was interested in making fonts, could. However,quality and function varied widely, with many low cost and free fontshaving minimal upper and lower case character sets.2.Professionally designed fonts were – and still are - worth theirweight in gold.IV.Font file formats.A.Type 1 and TrueType fonts support up to 255 characters.B.According to Microsoft’s online Open Type technical specification and ’sonline OpenType description page, OpenType, the Unicode font standardlaunched jointly by Apple and Microsoft in 1997, supports up to 65,000characters. This allows for improved support of alternate decorativecharacters, small capitals, extended numerical sets and fractions, as well asextended character support into other languages. If you are purchasing newfonts, buy OpenType whenever possible.V.Types of fontsA. SerifB.Sans-serifC.ScriptsD.GlyphicE.BlackletterF.MonospaceG.DecorativeH.Symbol, Ornament and DingbatVI.Here are some dos and don’ts for better page legibility, from Philip Brady’s Using Type Right:A.Chuck type together into blocks, whenever possiblee lots white space around your copy. This frames the page and allows youreye to rest before reading the next line.C.Choose a typeface that greys out when you squint at it. An even colorindicates balanced white space around the letters. The white space is whatallows your eye to track the letterforms. Even color reduces eyestrain. Thebest choices within a font family are the book weights or the lightweights.D.Choose a medium weight font in the same family as your body copy, forfootnotes, citations, small page numbers and any other areas of small typesize.E.Line lengths in long or body copy should be at more than 25 and less than 60characters wide. If you are setting a wider page, either use two columns orincrease the line spacing. You can do this in the formatting section of currentword processing programs.e space between paragraphs.e decorative type with restraint – and only in headlines.H.Think about your reading audience. Younger people have sharp eyes and canread a dark grey 9 pt. type without problem. People over 40 start to havedifficulty focusing close up. They’ll find a font with a larger lowercase letteror “x” height, with more open space inside the letters, much easier to read.I.Don’t use all uppercase letters in titles and section heads. It’s hard to read.J.Don’t use letters with ornaments and swashes to set long titles and first lines.The decoration breaks the word up.K.Don’t use lots of different weights within body copy.New technology changes how we work. This was as true now as it was in the 15th century. Today, you, the ordinary person, can work with fonts in ways that professionals only dreamed about thirty years ago. In five years, who knows what else you’ll be able to do?Brady, Philip. Using Type Right, Northern Light, Cincinnati, Ohio, 1988 Print Chappell, Warren.
