WHAT IS AN INFORMATIVE SPEECH 报告性演讲
WHAT IS AN INFORMATIVE SPEECHInformative speaking is all around us. Any speech is an informative speech if it present information to an audience. A report, a teacher‟s explanation, and a talk at asgroupsmeeting are all examples of informative speeches.When do we make informative speeches? We make them all the time. Whenever we give a stranger direction, explain a problem to a mechanic, or describe an illness to a doctor, we are speaking to inform.The goal in giving an informative speech is to state ideas simply, clearly, and interestingly. If you achieve this goal, the audience will understand and remember your speech. In this chapter, you will learn how to build an informative speech.PREPARING THE INTRODUCTION, BODY AND CONCLUSION Step 1: Prepare an Attention-Getting OpenerAt the beginning of your speech, it is very important to grab your audience‟s attention and make them interested in what you have to say. Four different ways to prepare an interesting, attention-getting introduction follow:(1)Ask your audience a series of rhetorical questions.Rhetorical questions are asked for dramatic effect with no answers expected. Your listeners will immediately be interested in knowing the answers. The following rhetorical questions were used to open a speech about the process of getting a tattoo:What can cost ten dollars or a thousand dollars?What can be every color of the rainbow?What can be with you as long as you live?What can you wear on your arm, your cheek, your leg, or even your back?(2)Tell a story.People love to listen to a story. They want to find out what it is about. This story was used to open a speech about the Gold Museum in Bogotá, Colombia:A guard took mesintosa square room with no lights. The room was so black I couldn‟t even see my own feet. All of a sudden a hidden electric wall closed behind me. There was no way out. I thought I was in a tomb. All at once bright lights came on. I was surrounded by gold on all four sides!(3)State a surprising fact.The statement below was used to introduce a speech about the billion-dollar business of services, or products to get almost anything you want without cash:You can get almost anything you want without cash! And you can begin today!(4) State a well-known quotation.This quotation from William Shakespeare‟s Hamlet was used to open a speech about the disadvantages of borrowing:Neither a borrower nor a lender be, for loan oft loses both itself and friend.Step 2: Prepare the BodyThen prepare the body of your speech. Arrange the points of your speech in a clear, logical manner. That way, your audience can follow you, understand your information, and remember what you have said. Insgroupsto do this, it is important to choose an organizational pattern that fits your topic.Read about the eight organizational patterns below. Then, choose the best one for your particular topic.(1)Past- Present-Future. Use this pattern to discuss how something once was, how it has changed, and how it will be in the future. For example, in discussing the Olympics, you might organize your information under the following three headings:Ⅰ.The history of the OlympicsⅡ.The Olympics todayⅢ.The future of the Olympics(2)Time. Use this pattern to describe how processes, personal experiences, events, or activities happen by the hour, part of the day, week, month, or year. It can also be used to explain the steps in a process. For example, in speaking about making a speech, you might organize your information under the following headings:Ⅰ.Choosing a topicⅡ.Gathering informationⅢ.Making an outlineⅣ.Presenting the speech(3)e this pattern to speak about a specific problem and ways to solve it. (Note: A problem isn‟t always a negative situation, such as crime or child abuse. It can also be a positive situation, such as choosing a career or about the problem of choosing.) For example, in speaking about the problem of choosing the college that s right for you, you might present the following solutions:Ⅰ.Read the different college catalogs.Ⅱ.Visit campuses of different colleges.Ⅲ.Talk to people who attend various colleges.Ⅳ.Talk to teachers at the colleges you are considering.(4)e this pattern to divide a topicsintosdifferent geographicalthe following sequence:Ⅰ.Marriage customs in JapanⅡ.Marriage customs in Saudi ArabiaⅢ.Marriage customs in the United States(5)e this pattern to describe a particular situation and its effect. For example, in speaking about the effects of cigarette smoking, you might discuss:Ⅰ.The effects of smoking on pregnant womenⅡ.The effect of secondhand smokeⅢ.The effects of smoking on people with allergies(6)Effect-Cause. Use this pattern do describe a particular situation and its causes. For example, in speaking about reasons for drug addiction, you might discuss: Ⅰ.The easy availability of drugsⅡ.The need to escape from the pressures of workⅢ.The lack of education about harmful effects of drugs(7) Related Subtopics. Use this pattern to divide one topicsintosdifferent parts, or subtopics. For example, in speaking about false advertising, you might discuss: Ⅰ.False advertising on televisionⅡ.False advertising in magazinesⅢ.False advertising on the radio(8)Advantage-Disadvantage. Use this pattern to talk about both positive and negative death penalty, you might discuss:Ⅰ.Advantages of capital punishmentⅡ.Disadvantages of capital punishmentStep 3: Prepare a SummaryEvery speech needs a summary of the information presented. The best way to summarize your information is to remind your audience of what you said by repeating the main points covered in the body of your speech.Example 1Well, I‟ve given you some ve ry important information today. You now know:A. How to prepare if a hurricane is comingB. What safety measures to make during the stormC. What to do after the hurricane is overExample 2As you can see, the Olympic Games are very important to people all over the world. I hope you learned some interesting information about:A. The history of the OlympicsB. The Olympics todayC. The future of the Olympic GamesStep 4: Prepare Memorable Concluding RemarksEvery speech needs an ending that leaves the audience thinking about and remembering what was said. Like attention-getting openers, memorable concluding remarks can take the form of rhetorical questions, stories, surprising facts, or quotations. Of these suggestions, quotations are popular among many famous public speakers.Example 1President John F. Kennedy ended many of his speeches with this quotation from the poet Robert Browning:“Some men see things as they are, and ask,…Why‟? I dare to dream of things that never were, and ask,…Why‟not?”Example 2Civil-rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. ended his famous“I Have a Dream”speech with words from an old spiritual song:“Free at last, free at last, thank God almighty, we are free at last.”Say your memorable concluding remarks slowly and clearly, maintaining eye contact with your audience. Be as dramatic and confident as possible!OUTLINING AN INFORMATIVE SPEECHThe outline that follows shows how one student outlined an informative speech. Notice how it includes the following components:Attention-getting openerPreviewBodySummaryPresentationMemorable concluding remarksAlso, notice how transitions have been used to connect the components.ATTENTION-GETTING OPENEREvery student in this room has something in common with famous astronauts, Olympic athletes, actors, politicians, and business executive.

The ultimate goal of an informative speech is to convey knowledge and help the audience better understand your communication message. Knowing how to construct an effective informative speech will benefit anyone trying to communicate information in the classroom, business sector, military and nonprofit industry.
If your specific purpose pertains to showing how some event led to something, then you could use a “causal” order.
A third option is choosing a “topical” order in which you can talk about event aspects in any logical order.

1. The first step is to decide an appropriate topic. Remember that an informative speech does not advocate a political position, cause, way of thinking or action to take. Think of yourself as a teacher who will be simply presenting the facts in an objective way.
informative speech
Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, I’m Hector. Today I gonna present the introduction of Model United Nations to you. Why I choose this topic? There’s two main reasons. First is that the Model United Nations is a popular form of academicactivity, and this speech may be of help if you want to participate in it someday. The other reason is that I have devoted a great deal of time in it in senior high school,I’ve been grant some awards and even acted as a chair to hold several conferences. And , to make it clear, I divide the introduction into three parts, origin, process and its significance.Even before the foundation of United Nations, some students in U.S.A who were interested in international politics established an association to model international conferences. Then in 1951 the first model united nations conference was held in Stanford. In china , the first conference was held in Beijing foreign affairs university, whose Model United Nations is among those most influential ones now. Then, in 2008, Model United Nations in China enjoyed a rapid growth due to the Beijing Olympic Games.As for the process, for every conference the hosts would choose a topic and select a committee from United Nations structure, then every one or two participants would represent a country trying to solve the problem while strive for nation interest. A conference consists of several sessions, during the session students need to deliver speeches on the stage, vote and hand in their papers. And after the session, they negotiate with others to reach agreements and found alliances, so that they can ensure their proposals get passed in the committee.Model United Nations prevails in china as it is a meaningful activity. When you study heated topic of international politics, your knowledge be enriched, your prospective be widened and your learning potential be inspired. Additionally, through negotiation, you gain deeper understand of team spirits. What’s more, your English command get all-around improvement.So, it’s a pity that there’s no Model United Nations associations in Tongji, hope the situation will be changed not long in the future.。

英语演讲informativespeechFood or PoisonGood morning everyone, before my speech, I want to ask one question, do you like eating food? Of course, I know your answers are affirmative. I just want you know that we enjoy food not just need it. And food is gift in our life. But nowadays, many profiteers make the gift become poison. In China there is an old saying: Bread is the staff of life. The Chinese meaning is 民以食为天。
Obviously, it means food plays a decisive role in our daily life. Food safety is a matter of primary importance. The issue is closely relat ed to ordinary people’s health. B ut we all know that food safety is a serious problem in china, the matter exists everywhe re. The unhealthy food harms our health every day. For example, in the morning, you bu y steamed buns with meat for breakfast, and likely, the meat is from rat; and you may e at the dishes made by drainage oil at lunch; and when you thirsty you buy drinking, it m ay have insecticides. And most customers mostly agree "out of sight, out of mind" view. Many consumers listen to media advertising and find out that problem, they knew that th ey again become victims. The unhealthy food seriously harm our body, it can cause differ ent kinds of diseases, from a headache to cancer. Some unhealthy foods, containing vari ous additives, give a tremendous threat to us. Some unhealthy food will make us ill, such as diarrhea、stomachache and other disease of digestive tract. Some food additives use chemical materials to make food looks better, but it will carcinogenic in a long time. The body is our own, some poison is a lifetime all away, or even affect the next generation.Why does this problem arise in China? Firstly, the origin offood has been polluted. Particularly in the agriculture: the immense of vehicle harmful emissions penetrate throu gh the soil. Because of the pollution, the quality of rice, grains, crops, livestock and other agricultural products is affected. Secondly, some problems were happened in the proces sing. For example, most enterprises didn’t follow the standard to produce the goods. And they use food additive excessively. Thirdly, this is the loss of morality. There are too ma ny traders just know making profit .They have lost of moral bottom line and ignore the p ublic's safety and health. We Chinese care money too much. Some of us had lost ourselv es in the money. Fourth, there are inadequate regulations and standards. Chinese laws a nd regulations are not perfect. Some standards are not comprehensive and regulations a re not in place. The force of law is not enough, the penalties for illegal workers is low.I believe that government is the dominant role to change the situation. Tying their record on food safety to their evaluations will be an effective way to motivate officials to supervise the food industry. Besides, enterprises that violate food safety laws should be punished more severely. A higher cost will be a deterrent. Innovation of the supervision s ystem is also called for. To improve analysis of the food industry, a new job of professio nal food safety surveyor should be developed in China. These professionals could then as sist governments and ensure they have the latest information about food safety violation s. The government should also pay more attention to raising awareness among resident s about food safety, and the harm banned food additives can do, as well as the basic me ans of telling whether food is safe or not.Let the good faith come back in our hearts, and let the worldfill with love. I hope w e will eat the security food in the near future.。

If it is a speech on an event, you could use a “chronological” order in which you talk about incidents in the order that they actually occurred.
Depending on your course structure and theoretical perspective, your specific purpose will either be “speaker-centered” or “audiencecentered”. If it is speaker-centered, then your specific purpose will usually begin as, “To inform my audience about...” in contrast to an audiencecentered speech which typically begins, “At the end of my speech, I want my audience to ...”

informative_speech
It’s really great honor to be here again,sharing with you this informative speech.Now Let’s start with these pictures.And I’m sure many of you will be really familiar with some or all of those pictures.HA,it’s plants VS zombies.And this?It’s the Angry Birds.The birds are just so cute.And then ……Counter Strike!It’s really one of the most memorable PC games in the world.Next ,many of the boys sitting behind must be very familiar with it it’s…DOTA.Seeing here,you must have guessed outmy topic:PC Games.T oday I’d like to talk about it in three aspects:it’s definition,history and classification.Firstly, let’s look at itsdefinition.It’s short for ‘personal computer games’.It refers to a kind of computer program designed as games that could run on personal computers. Inshort, it’s a kind of software designed with the ability to entertain people.With the rapid development of the Internet and some other technologies, PC Games have gain more and more influence in the world. Some famous companies can even influence the world’s economy greatly. However, partly because it is so influential, no one can give it an exact definitionanymore, but what remain unchanged is itspurpose: toentertain us.Secondly, let’s look back at its history. The first computer gamewas created by Steve Russell, a student from MIT. The game is called Space war. The guy was really excited at his invention and immediately sends one to the Gamehall. However because it was so complex, it was a terrible failure. It was not until 1962 that the first success came—in 1971, an American named Nolan Bushnell launched his own PC Games company. And This the company named Atari has become the ancestor of Computer Games. The company designed a game called Computer Space. It was really a great success, and the game has occupied the place as the first successful PC Game. Then in the 1980s, thanks to Seven Jobs and his Apple computers, PC Games become really popular among ordinary people, and better equipment made it possible to design more complex games. Maybe Super Mario can best represent games during that period. But in 1989, a historical game called the prince of Persia came out. This is the birth of action games, and these games havedominated the world of PC Games since then.Till now, PC Games can be roughly divided into five categories: RPG, FPS, ACT, TD and SLG. Each category has some difference with others, but they also something in common. And as a result, it’s sometimes really difficult to classify these games.。
