It's a wonderful life. Or is it? While today's luxuries have been welcomed by the masses, they have also been accused of turning us into passive, lethargic couch potatoes. As a reformed couch potato myself, I know how easy it can be to slip into an inactive lifestyle. I also know how sluggish and apathetic such a lifestyle can make me feel. T oday I want to urge you to move off that couch and get your body moving. I want to persuade you to start walking.BodyNeedI. Americans lead a sedentary lifestyle at the expense of their health.A. Adults watch between 15 and 18 hours of TV a week. (statistic - Carey 82)1. This means we spend approximately 40% of our leisure time in front of the TV.(statistic - Carey 82)2. Ironically, it is also reported that we really don't like many of the shows we watch.(factual example - Carey 83)B. An article in the March, 1994 issue of Walking reports that there is evidence that oursedentary lifestyle is bad for our mental and emotional state of mind.1. Studies today indicate that people are experiencing higher bouts of depression thanin the 18th and 19th century when work and life was considered more difficult.(factual example - McAuliffe 43)2. The article reports that 12.6% of Americans suffer from anxiety and another 9.5%suffer from serious depression. (statistic - McAuliffe 42)C. Our eating habits, combined with our lack of exercise is purported to be the "second leadingnon-genetic contributor to death in the U.S." (factual example - Camenzind)1. Nutritionist Phyllis Hall stated that we tend to eat foods that are high in fat, whichproduce high levels of cholesterol in our blood, which in turns leads to plaque in ourarteries. (expert testimony - Hall)2. While modifying our diet can certainly help us decrease our risk for heart disease,studies have indicated that people who don't exercise are at an even greater risk forheart disease. (factual example - Camenzind)SatisfactionII. Fortunately, there is a simple, effective exercise that we can all do.A. This exercise is walking.1. Walking for 20 minutes at a moderate pace 3 - 4 times a week is good for ourphysical and mental health. (factual example - Ullman 9)2. Walking is an inexpensive form of exercise that requires no training.B. Regular walking can reduce our risk for heart disease.1. A 1994 article in Prevention reported that walking can curtail our risk for heartdisease. (factual example - Ullman 9)2. Walking enhances an enzyme that removes triglycerides (blood fats) from ourbloodstream. (factual example - Ullman 10)VisualizationIII. We can visualize the benefits of walking by contrasting the lifestyle choices we have.A. We can take shortcuts in life and cut our life short.1. Find the closest parking space in the parking lot.2. Drive to the convenient store that is just around the corner from your house.3. Catch the bus to take you to a building across campus.4. Telephone the friend in your neighborhood to chat.B. Or we can choose to lessen our risk for heart disease and improve our mental health bymaking an effort to walk.1. "Walking will enable you to stumble onto natural little wonders that otherwise gounnoticed." (factual example - Ullman 10)2. John P. Wiley comments on the benefits of walking by stating, "Being on your owntwo feet is restful. No one is climbing on your back, leaning on a horn, . . . and ifsomething catches your eye, you can stop without being rear ended." (peertestimony - Wiley 24)ConclusionIn closing, I urge you to start walking more. A simple, easy activity. Park at the back of parking lots and walk. Walk, don't drive, to your local convenient store. Walk past the bus stop and let your two feet carry you across campus. Take 20 minutes and enjoy a walk around your neighborhood. Hide the T.V. remote control, move off the couch, and walk -- for your heart's sake.Works CitedCamenzind, Paula. The Guide to Visual and Natural Healing. Pittsburgh, PA.: Rodale, 1993.

I fastened my seat belt, but she didn't. I backed out of the driveway and we headed out for what we thought would be a fun evening. After driving for awhile I entered an intersection. The light was green and so I proceeded into the intersection just as another car turned left in front of me. Because the roads were wet, my brakes wouldn't hold and we slid into the side of the other car. I was shaken, but all right. Then I noticed that the windshield on thepassenger's side was shattered. I saw my friend slumped up against the seat with blood all over her face. She had shattered the windshield.Being in an accident, I know first hand the difference wearing seatbelts can make. Also class surveys show that many of you don't wear your seat belts. That's why today I want to persuade you to wear your seat belts every time you ride in an automobile.BodyNeedI. Automobile accidents take a frightful toll in lives and injuries every year.A. According to the Motor Vehicle Association, 3 millionAmericans are injured in autoaccidents annually. (statistic - Orme 27)B. In addition, 50,000 are killed each year. (statistic - Orme 29)1. This number is the equivalent to a 747 jumbo jet crashing every other day for ayear. (analogy - Orme 29)2. Automobile accidents are the leading cause of death for people of high-schooland college age. (factual example - Consumers' 10)SatisfactionII. You can save yourself from becoming part of these statistics by wearing your seatbelt.A. According to the Department of Transportation, 15,000 lives would be saved annually ifevery driver fastened his or her seatbelt every time he or she rode in a car. (statistic -Lumet 45)B. A study by the Motor Vehicle Association showed that the chances of individual deathand injury are reduced 50 percent by the use of seatbelts. (statistic - Dinkel 46)VisualizationIII. We can visualize the benefits of seatbelts by answering some of the reasons given in response tomy audience analysis questionnaires for not wearing seatbelts.A. Some of you think you can brace yourselves in case of a crash.1. But you may never see the other car in time.2. Impact at 30 mph is 100 times the force of gravity. (factualexample -Bedard 111)B. Some of you feel you don't need seatbelts for short trips.1. According to the Motor Vehicle Association, most accidents occur onlocal roads. (testimony - Dinkel 47)2. My accident took place only five minutes from home.C. Some of you fear being trapped in a burning or submerged vehicle.1. Burning or submersion occurs in only .5 percent of all auto accidents. (statisticLumet 46)2. In this kind of accident, seatbelts help keep you conscious and able to escape.D. Some of you don't use seatbelts because they are uncomfortable.1. Seatbelts can be adjusted for comfort.2. What's worse - a seatbelt or a wheelchair?ConclusionSo I urge you to fasten your seatbelts every time you ride in a car. If my friend had worn hers she wouldn't have received the terrible scars that remind us of that accident over a year ago. Some of you may say that you forget, but the one time you forget may be the time you are injured or killed. So please, buckle up. It only takes a few seconds. If you don't, you may regret it sitting in a wheel chair, or you may not even have the chance to regret it.Just ask Beth, a student at this university who says, "If I hadn't been wearing my seatbelt at the time of my accident, I truly believe I would not be here today."Works CitedBedard, Pat.

Does a postgraduate have that kind of ability to get higher salary?(描述现象:对于研究生来说,前年找工作难,去年找工作简单)The year before last, lots of postgraduates are worried about their jobs after they have graduated from University. However, in the last year, many postgraduates are so lucky to find better jobs, to get higher salary, no matter what he or she learned in the three year of postgraduate life. Maybe this good phenomenon will last for about five years for postgraduates.There are several reasons to support my opinion.(解释原因)First, the policy Chinese government made in 1999 that Universities admitted many more students is wrong so that college graduates are much more difficult to find better jobs. On the contrary, postgraduates have some kind of abilities to meet the demands of corporations. So, it seems that postgraduates could have better salary. (第一方面的原因是:国家在1999年制定的大学扩招的错误政策导致大学生暴增,大学毕业生找工作困难,而研究生相对来说更符合企业的要求,找工作相对容易。

Most Necessary Change to Education Policy in ChinaHello, everyone! Have you ever complained about the Chinese education system? Believe it or not, many of my friends even talked dirty on it. Under the education policy in China, which attaches too much importance to our scores, we have to do countless and useless homework every day. We are trapped in piles of exercise books and huge academic pressure, which consume all our spare time and energy.In my view, it is the College Entrance Examination that makes us in torture. We have been instilled the idea that one can become successful only by going to college, and those who fail the exam will be jobless and have a depressing future, so almost all of us will study desperately to be admitted into an elite university. As the policy requires us to develop in an all-around way, we have to take full command of various kinds of subject, and everything we learn, such as instruments, is to add marks. Since the only standard that these higher learning institution refer to measure their freshmen is the matriculation results, we can do nothing but indulge in our academic works.With this education policy, we seldom have choices. We can’t always learn what w e actually love but what we are good at only to make the tests easier to pass. We seldom have aims. We even don't know that we have been occupied by exercises. And we seldom have dreams. We have no idea about our future because our numb mind can't afford such a question.Although it is extraordinary hard to solve this problem and improve the system circumstance, some government officials have devoted all their effort to amend the policy to make Gaokao less important and ask these senior highs to take their interest as well as future into consideration. Besides, those business companies should change their employment standard, too. Whether one has been to university or not, he deserves a job with his own quality.Thank you!。
persuasive speech演讲稿
persuasive speech演讲稿尊敬的各位听众:大家好!今天,我站在这里,想要和大家探讨一个重要的话题。
在我们的生活中,我们常常需要去说服他人,无论是为了一个想法、一个决定,还是为了推动一件事情的发展。
而有效的说服,不仅仅是简单地陈述观点,更是一门艺术,一门能够触动人心、改变思维、引发行动的艺术。
首先,让我们来思考一下,什么是说服力?说服力,简单来说,就是能够让别人认同你的观点,接受你的建议,甚至愿意按照你所期望的去行动的能力。
它不是强迫,不是命令,而是通过理性的分析、情感的共鸣以及恰当的表达方式,让对方心甘情愿地做出改变。
那么,如何才能具备强大的说服力呢?第一,清晰明确地表达自己的观点至关重要。
我们需要知道自己到底想要传达什么,并且能够用简洁明了的语言将其表达出来。
避免模糊不清、含混其词,让对方能够一下子抓住重点。
比如说,如果我们想要劝说别人戒烟,就不能只是泛泛地说“吸烟有害健康”,而应该具体指出吸烟可能导致的各种疾病,如肺癌、心脏病等,让对方清楚地了解到吸烟的严重后果。
第二,了解你的听众也是关键的一步。
在开口之前,先想一想对方的背景、需求、价值观和关注点是什么。
只有当我们的观点与对方的利益和关切相契合时,才更有可能引起他们的共鸣。
比如,对于一位关心家人健康的吸烟者,我们可以强调吸烟对家人二手烟的危害;对于一位注重形象的人,我们可以提及吸烟对牙齿和皮肤的不良影响。
第三,提供有力的证据和例子能够增强我们的说服力。
事实胜于雄辩,通过引用权威的数据、真实的案例或者亲身经历,能够让我们的观点更具可信度。
比如,在倡导环保时,可以列举出一些因环境污染而导致的生态灾难的具体数据和事例,让人们深刻认识到环保的紧迫性。
第四,情感的力量不容小觑。
人是情感动物,很多时候,理性的分析可能不足以打动人心,而情感的触动却能够让人瞬间改变想法。
我们可以通过讲述感人的故事、描绘美好的愿景,让对方在情感上产生共鸣,从而更愿意接受我们的观点。

persuasive speech演讲稿
persuasive speech演讲稿Persuasive SpeechLadies and gentlemen,Today, I stand before you to deliver a persuasive speech on a topic of great importance – the need for environmental conservation. Our planet is facing unprecedented challenges, and it is crucial that we take immediate action to protect and preserve our environment for future generations. It is time for us to recognize the severity of the situation and make sustainable choices that will lead us towards a more eco-friendly future.Firstly, let us consider the issue of climate change. The earth's temperature is rising at an alarming rate, leading to disastrous consequences such as extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and the loss of biodiversity. We cannot ignore the fact that our actions have contributed to this crisis, and it is our responsibility to reverse the damage. By embracing renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power, we can significantly reduce our carbon footprint and mitigate the effects of climate change.Furthermore, the depletion of natural resources is another pressing concern. Our insatiable appetite for consumer goods and relentless exploitation of our natural environment have led to the depletion of finite resources such as oil, gas, and minerals. It is essential that we shift towards a more sustainable and circular economy, which emphasizes recycling, reusing, and reducing waste. Through conscious consumer choices and responsible production methods, we can conserve our resources and ensure their availability for future generations.Additionally, the issue of plastic pollution must be addressed urgently. Our oceans are drowning in plastic waste, causing irreparable harm to marine life and ecosystems. Single-use plastics, such as bottles, bags, and straws, are major contributors to this crisis. By promoting the use of reusable alternatives and implementing effective recycling programs, we can reduce the amount of plastic waste that ends up in our oceans and landfills. It is high time we take responsibility for our plastic consumption and make a concerted effort to eliminate this environmental menace.Moreover, the destruction of forests and deforestation pose a significant threat to our environment. Forests act as natural carbon sinks, absorbing vast amounts of CO2 and regulating the climate. However, rampant deforestation for agricultural expansion and illegal logging activities have led to the loss of vital forest cover. It is essential that we support sustainable land use practices and implement stricter regulations to protect our forests. By doing so, we can preserve biodiversity, mitigate climate change, and safeguard the livelihoods of indigenous communities.In conclusion, the urgency of environmental conservation cannot be overstated. We must act now to address the challenges of climate change, resource depletion, plastic pollution, and deforestation. Together, we can make a difference by adopting sustainable practices, promoting renewable energy sources, reducing waste, and advocating for stronger environmental policies. Let us remember that protecting our environment is not only a responsibility but also a moral imperative. By protecting our planet, we are securing a better future for ourselves and for generations to come.Thank you for your attention, and let's join hands in creating a greener and more sustainable world.。
persuasive speech演讲稿
persuasive speech演讲稿某某某敬爱的各位评委、亲爱的同学们:大家好!我今天在这里发表演讲,旨在劝说各位关注并积极参与环保事业。
环境保护是当今全球面临的重要问题,我们每个人都有责任为保护地球家园出一份力。
只有我们共同努力,才能为子孙后代创造一个更美好的未来。
首先,我想先和大家分享一组数据。
根据联合国环境规划署的报告,目前全球每年产生超过30亿吨的垃圾。
这些垃圾中包括大量的塑料制品,而塑料对环境的影响是极大的。
我们经常看到海洋中漂浮着大量的塑料垃圾,对海洋生态系统造成严重威胁,甚至危及一些珍稀物种的生存。
同时,在城市中,我们每天都能看到垃圾填埋场的烟囱里升起的黑烟。
这些都是我们不可忽视的问题,亟需我们立即采取行动。
那么,我们应该如何积极参与环保事业呢?首先,我们可以通过减少使用塑料制品来减轻环境负担。
塑料袋、塑料瓶等一次性塑料制品的使用量巨大,它们对环境的破坏是显而易见的。
我们可以使用可重复使用的购物袋,在购物时拒绝使用塑料袋;对于饮用水,可以选择使用可回收的水瓶,而不是购买一次性塑料瓶装水。
这些看似微小的举动,却能对环境产生积极的影响。
其次,我们可以积极参与垃圾分类工作。
垃圾分类是减少垃圾污染的重要手段之一。
将垃圾分为可回收垃圾、有害垃圾、湿垃圾和干垃圾,并进行相应的处理,可以有效减少对环境的污染。
我们可以主动了解所在地的垃圾分类政策,并在日常生活中积极履行垃圾分类的义务。
此外,我们可以倡导节约能源的生活方式。
能源是支撑现代社会发展的重要基础,然而过度使用能源会导致环境问题的加剧。
我们可以从日常的生活点滴做起,关闭不需要的电器、合理利用照明、节约用水等等。
这些简单的节约举措,不仅可以降低能源消耗,还能减少环境污染。
最后,我希望大家能够积极参与各类环保活动。
无论是参加社区组织的环保志愿者活动,还是加入环保组织,通过具体行动来推动环保事业的发展,都是非常有益的。
同时,我们也可以利用社交媒体等渠道,向更多人宣传环保知识,增强大家的环保意识。
persuasive speech演讲稿
persuasive speech演讲稿尊敬的各位听众:大家好!今天,我站在这里,想要和大家探讨一个重要的话题——健康生活方式的选择。
在我们忙碌的现代生活中,往往容易忽视一些对我们至关重要的东西。
我们总是在追逐事业的成功、物质的享受,却常常忘记了照顾自己的身体和心灵。
然而,健康才是我们最宝贵的财富,没有健康,一切都将失去意义。
首先,让我们来谈谈饮食。
如今,快餐、加工食品充斥着我们的生活。
这些食物通常高热量、高脂肪、高糖分,长期食用会给我们的身体带来巨大的负担。
肥胖、心血管疾病、糖尿病等慢性疾病的发病率不断上升,很大程度上与不良的饮食习惯有关。
相反,如果我们能够选择新鲜的蔬菜、水果、全谷物和优质蛋白质,合理控制饮食的量和比例,我们就能为身体提供充足的营养,增强免疫力,预防疾病的发生。
想象一下,每天享用一顿营养丰富的早餐,为一天的工作和学习注入活力;晚餐时,与家人围坐在餐桌旁,品尝着自己精心准备的健康美食,那是多么美好的画面。
其次,运动也是保持健康不可或缺的一部分。
很多人总是以忙碌为借口,逃避运动。
但其实,每天只需抽出几十分钟的时间,进行适量的运动,就能给我们的身体带来极大的好处。
运动可以增强心肺功能,提高身体的代谢率,帮助我们消耗多余的热量,塑造良好的体型。
无论是散步、跑步、游泳还是瑜伽,选择一种适合自己的运动方式,并坚持下去。
你会发现,自己的精力更加充沛,心情更加愉悦,工作效率也会大大提高。
而且,运动还能让我们释放压力,在挥洒汗水的过程中,忘却生活中的烦恼和困扰。
除了饮食和运动,充足的睡眠对于健康同样重要。
在这个充满电子设备和信息的时代,熬夜似乎成为了一种常态。
我们沉迷于手机、电脑,牺牲了宝贵的睡眠时间。

Persuasive Speech Sample
Preparation OutlineTopic: Texting While DrivingGeneral Purpose: To persuadeProposition: Texting while driving is not only dangerous, but life threatening. Specific Purpose: To persuade my audience to stop texting while driving and encourage others to do so as well.I. Attention:Caleb Sorohan went to Morgan County High School in Madison, Georgia. A bright student, he graduated with his class in 2009 and was headed to college. At the age of 18, just when his life as an independent young adult was getting started, Caleb tragically lost his life. On December 15th of 2009, Caleb died in a car crash while texting and driving. Caleb had his phone in his lap, and had sent out six text messages in the last few minutes of his life. None of you may know Caleb personally, but he was a loving son, brother and friend to many and was too young to have his life taken away. The state of Georgia passed “The Caleb Sorohan Act” as a result of this heartrending incident. But do enough Georgia residents take this act as seriously as they should? According to my audience analysis survey, 65 percent of the class said that they text message while driving.Signpost: Why is it so important to avoid text messaging while driving?II. Need:I. It is against the law in the state of Georgia, as well as many other states, totext message while driving. Georgia passed The Caleb Sorohan Act in 2009 to abolish texting while driving.A. “The law prohibits drivers from using a cell phone, text messagingdevice, personal digital assistant (PDA), computer, or similar wirelessdevice to write, send, or read text data while driving. The ban applies totext messages, instant messages (IM), email, and Internet data.”B. “Offenders are subject to a $150 fine and one point against their drivingrecord.”C. “Currently, laws in 30 states and the District of Columbia make itillegal to text or send e-mail while driving.”Signpost: Even though texting while driving is illegal, that is still not enough for people to discontinue doing it. In order to get the message across as to why texting while drivingwas banned, there are several statistics I would like to share to put things into perspective.II. Texting while driving is hazardous. People need to become more aware of the consequences that follow texting and driving in order to help save thoselife’s lost annually due to automobile accidents involving a cell phone.A. It is said to be among one of the most dangerous of activities“because it involves taking your eyes and attention off the roadway.” –Jackson.I. A driver who looks at a cell phone for 5 seconds while travelingat highway speed covers the length of a football field withoutseeing the road.II. According to my audience analysis survey, 50 percent of theclass said yes when asked, “have you ever swerved, stopped short,almost caused an accident or not even realized how far you’vealready driven because you were caught up in a text”. In those fiveseconds, 50 percent of you could have either taken your own life,or someone else’s. Was your text message work the risk?B. “Nearly 28 percent of all vehicle crashes, or about 1.6 million eachyear, can be linked to talking on a cell phone or texting while driving.Among those ages 16 and 17, some 26 percent have texted from behindthe wheel.” – Jackson. This means that more than a quarter of all vehiclecrashes during the year are due to the use of a cell phone, even though inmany states it’s use is illegal.C. According to a study, “drivers who were texting were 23.2 times morelikely to crash than those drivers who weren’t texting.” –JacksonSignpost: Many people live their lives ignorantly thinking, “Chances are it’s not going to be me.” One hundred percent of the class stated yes when asked, “do you see other people texting while driving when you’re on the road.” Well, it looks as if your chances just went up drastically.III. Even if you claim that you do not text and drive, which 5 of you did, think about those around you that may text and drive. People that text and driveput the lives of others on the road at risk of being in an accident and possibly even death.A.According to the National Motor Vehicle Crash Causation Survey,drivers “under 20 years old posed the greatest risk on the road, and 16percent of all fatal crashes involving those under twenty years oldinvolved distracted driving.”B.It is important for parents to teach their children the risks of textingand driving. It is equally as important for a parent to not text theirchild if they know that he or she is driving somewhere.Signpost: There are several measures that should be taken to prevent automobile accidents caused by the use of a cellular device.III. Satisfaction:I.The best way to put an end to texting to driving is to make a pledge.There are many different organizations that have taken steps toencourage others to make a pledge.A.Oprah has a pledge called the “No Phone Zone.” On herwebsite you can hear many devastating stories of those whohave lost someone to texting while driving.B.11Alive has a pledge called “The Great Hang Up.” They offera pledge that you can print, fill out, and keep in your car to stayreminded of your pledge.II. Inform others about the risks of texting and driving.A. Put a bumper sticker on your car, such as the one made forCaleb Sorohan.III. Wear a “Texting Kills” thumb band while you are driving. That way,when you pick up your phone and begin a text, your thumb band will bethere as a reminder to stop texting while driving.IV. Put your phone away while driving. According to my survey, 70percent of the class keeps their cell phone visible while driving. Theselocations included on laps, in cup holders, on the passenger seat, etc.A. That same 70 percent of the class also said that they feeltempted to check their phone when it goes off. Putting it away onsilent mode, or even off, would eliminate that temptation. Signpost: These are all easy solutions to reduce, and possibly eliminate, all cell phone use while driving. Think about how much better the world would be if we made this change. IV. Visualization:If there were an end to texting and driving, the 5,870 people who died in 2008 due to texting while driving would still be alive. Caleb Sorohan lost his life due to texting and driving, but his loss could help save many others lives by becoming an example to learn from. Imagine years down the road, or possibly even tomorrow, getting a phone call from the police to hear the dreadful news of a car accident. If you take the pledge, you can teach your children to take the pledge and avoid that phone call. Imagine not taking the pledge today, and wrecking your car tomorrow. In a world where people did not text and drive, there would be 1.6 million less car accidents each year. Thousands of lives could be saved if today’s society did not text and drive. There would be fewer parents burying their children because the 16 percent of fatal accidents that involve distracted driving would not occur. Children would be able to play outside and not have to worry about a distracted driver veering off the road and ending their lives. If you adopt the “No PhoneZone” policy, or pledge “The Great Hang Up” the world would become one step closer to road safety.Signpost: Endless benefits would occur if the world pledged to stop texting and driving, and we can start the change right here in this classroom.V. Action:Not only is texting while driving illegal, but it is also dangerous to every driver on the road, and even bystanders or pedestrians. You should take action immediately to reduce the use of cell phones while driving. Take a pledge to put your cell phone away while you are behind the wheel, and encourage family and friends to do the same. The solution is as simple and easy as turning your device off and putting it out of sight. Is there such thing as a text message that is worth your life?。

Making plans for our everyday lifeHello, everyone. Today I want to talk about something that used to bother me a lot. I got up early in the morning and carried a bag of books to library. Looking in others, I am a hard-working student, a good student. But when I came back to my dorm and lied in bed, I always could n’t remember what I did the whole day. I don’t know if you have such an experience. If you don’t have, try to do it tonight, try to find out what you finished this day. If you also feel confused, please recall my follow speech and think if there is a little truth.One day, when Isaw a famous said of Seneca, a Roman philosopher: If you do not know which port to sail, there is no wind for you.I knew the reason why I felt lost.I have no plan for my everyday life. And I realized that I have to make some change. So every nightI write down the tasks to be finished tomorrow and recollect what I did today, I suddenly find that we common people can do so many things in a day. I can finish reading an English article one afternoon time and I can also read an extracurricular bookin a week by dividing into 7 parts. In addition, I don’t need to carry a bag of books every morning, you know, it is very heavy.Maybe my own experience is hardly convincing, but I really think it is Very representative, and we everyone’s experience is very persuasive. First, a plan is your alarm clock to make you get up early and gives you a schedule of a new day.You will know what you need to do.Second, a plan will help you finish your task quickly and efficiently. With a plan, we can save the confused time to do what we would like to do, playing basketball, listening to some music. We will no longer worry about our tasks, because we already have done. Most importantly, an everyday plan can make you more and more close to success.So just write down what you need to finish after getting up in the morning, and recall it before you sleep in the night. I am sure you will get a lot of benefits from your own plan, and I sincerely hope that we all start to make our everyday plan and life plan. Think you. Think you for your attention.。

A Persuasive Speech SampleA. INTRODUCTION"Tells your audience what you are going to tell them"and establishes the foundation for your speech.A good Introduction 'draws the map' for the journey.For a Persuasive Speech an Introduction consists of1. Attention-Getter: A statement, visual or sound(or combination)that startles, gains attentionand makes your audience sit up.... Who here communicates with others?Today, I want to describe to you what I call the 8th Wonder of the World. This wonder is right up there with the Pyramids, with the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, with the Collossus of Rhodes. It is not though of the ancient world. It is though a marvel of engineering and cooperation amongst the nations of the world.Today as well as the telephone, I use the Internet, I use eMail.The Internet is a way of connecting computers together around the world using the telephone cables. eMail is electronic mail that is distributed across the Internet.Putting these together, I can almost communicate anywhere anytime. Did you know, that "the number of emails sent on an average day was approximately 10 billion in 2002 and by 2005, this amount is expect to triple to 35 billion emails sent each day" (Source: IDC news release, 'Email Deluge Continues With No End In Sight, IDC Says': October 10, 2000) Do you know that they are all asleep in Australia? Last year I rang to ask a business question to only get the night security guard. It was good of him to take my call.Now I email at any time and receive the needed information back as soon as the other office is open.2. Bond > Link-to Audience: Identify a personalconnection in the audiences' life, eg theiruse of the 'device' or system, or their emotional experience (grief and sorrow, happiness). How many here use the telephone to connect with another?Today we use a large amount of technology to live, communicate, and relate.To speak with another: devices like the telephone, mobile telephone or cell phone. To access information: television, cable TV, satellites, global computer networks To bank: we use ATMs To travel: vehicles, planes and trains To get to a destination: Global positioning systems (GPS) guide airplanes.We use technology every day to live.Think of your kitchen, car, office, cinema, your local shopping centre. Think of the technology you use, you rely on.What would it be like WITHOUT technology in our day?3. "Credentials" of Speaker (Credibility): Demonstratehow you are an 'expert' throughyour own use, experience or study.I use eMail every day in my work, my business and for personal communications. I discovered eMail when I was studying many years ago. It was used as THE communication medium between the lecturers and between colleagues in my study team. We relied on eMail.4. Destination / Objective Sentence: State clearlywhy you are speaking at this moment.State your Goal, Thesis or whatyou expect as an Outcome.State your Destination.An example may be .. "This evening/todayI am here to convince you that ....is the most effective way to do business today" Today, I want to share my insights into this amazing communication method, and convince you of its hidden potential, in YOUR life today.5. Explain my Map to my destination >Preview of Speech: Briefly outline what you will cover inyour persuasive speech. This is where you will ..."Tell what you are going to tell them"What will we look at in the next few minutes?Firstly, a quick look at how the internet and eMail has shrunk the world.Secondly, how business has been revolutionised, andThirdly, how personal relations are enhanced by these new technologies, that's right, personal relations! Who ever thought a computer would help relationships.Transition: A transition is how you movefrom one section or point to the next.It is a linking idea. You could say ..."Let's begin by ...", "Let's start with ..."or I prefer "Let's consider ..."The Internet runs on energy: on electricity.How fast does electricity flow? How fast does a light switch turn on when you switch it? How fast does sound come from a radio when it is switched on?Let's now switch on email.B. BODY of your SpeechThe Body of your speech is where the detail is found and is best contained in THREE points (you can have more, but don't confuse your audience).For a Persuasive Speech, this is where you will ..."Tell them"1. Main Point #1State Point 1The world is shrinking with the advent of the Internet and in particular, eMail.State a ReasonWhy is this occurring? Because, eMail is easy to use.eMail is very fast to both send and to receive.eMail overcomes time barriers.Give an ExampleRecently when planning a holiday in England, the Internet and eMail were used to book hotels and hire cars organised across multiple time zones. No more ringing and trying to get people who are in bed other than at a sales desk. How often have you thought "don't they ever wake up over there?" I did.Restate the PointThe world is in deed shrinking with the advent of email.Transition: Create a linking statement to Point 2. As the world shrinks through communication technologies,it must be easier to do business.2. Main Point #2 State Point 2eMail has revolutionised business.Business can now literally operate at the speed of light."eMail is growing at a rate of 66% annually, email is the most common way for business people to communicate "(Source: IAAAP / ePolicy Institute news release: April 18, 2002)State a ReasoneMail is simple easy to use and fast.eMail reduces the formalities of paper-based title pages and wording in say a Sales quote eMail makes retrieving an old eMail easy when comparing negotiations.The Internet gives "instant" access to information from anywhere in the world.Give an ExampleFrom my desktop I can negotiate the best price for a transaction regardless where the shop is in the world. In fact I have more suppliers to choose from.Telephone tag (when you ring and they are out) is eliminated. Publishing words or pictures is simple. Anyone can publish on the Internet.I can stay in touch with the office anytime when I am out of the office, using the Internet and eMail.Restate the PointThe Internet and eMail has revolutionised business and enables business to be forever open conducting business 24 x 7 (24hours by 7 days).Transition: Create a linking statement to Point 3 The Internet and eMail can evenbring friends closer together.3. Main Point #3 State Point 3The Internet and eMail enhances personal relationseMail can even explode personal relationships in a new dimension.State a ReasoneMail is a powerful complementer of the older technologies: telephone, letters ...No stamps, no paper, no envelopes, no trips to/from the postbox. Your message can be short, succinct and to the point.Stay in touch when do not wish to speak.- The Receiver of your message does not have to be home when you 'write'.- Unlimited interactions via a computer (written, voice, image, music, information) versus limited via telephone (voice)- Internet and eMail can bring together countless numbers of people sharing the same interests, eg chat rooms and instant messaging using ICQ, AOL and MSNGive an ExampleStay in touch regardless of location:I eMailed my son when he was in EnglandI eMail to a busy sister in another State - because she is rarely home, using eMail means the call is not missed if I was to telephone.Restate the PointWhen it comes personal relations, eMail enables cheap effective communications which are never missed, unlike the telephone. They are there when you connect to the Internet.Transition: Create a linking statement to theConclusion, eg "Let's summarise ..." or"Can we consider these main points ..."The Internet and eMail has shrunk the world, enabled more timely business to occur and can enhance personal relationships and friendships.C.
