link different aspects of your talk and show progression through your topic.
Importantly, transitions draw the audience’s attention to the process of the
presentation as well as the content.
3. Conclusion
The conclusion is an essential though frequently underdeveloped section of a
presentation. This is the stage at which you summarize your key points and purpose
of your talk, again using visual aids if appropriate, emphasize your recommendations
or conclusion, thank your audience, and invite questions. The summary should not be
too long as you will lose your audience’s attention, but detailed enough to cover your
points. A good summary reminds your audience about what you said and helps them
to remember your information. After a summary, you are ready to conclude with a
statement that will leave your audience thinking about what you said. Never end
abruptly or by saying “That’s all”. The final words of your speech are the ones your
audience will remember. Important elements of a conclusion are:
• A review of the topic and purpose of your presentation: ‘’In this presentation I
wanted to explore ….”
• A statement of the conclusions or recommendations to be drawn from your
work: “I hope to have been able to show that the effect of …”
• An indication of the next stages (what might be done to take this work
further?): “This does of course highlight the need for further research in the
area of …”
• An instruction as to what happens next (questions, discussion or group work):
“I would now like to give you the opportunity to ask questions …”
• A thank-you to the audience for their attention and participation: “Thank you
very much for listening”.
The techniques for concluding speeches are the same as those for beginning
speeches.
4. Putting your speech together
The question is “which part of a speech do you prepare first?” You should begin with
the body of your speech. After the body is prepared, you should write the conclusion,
and finally the introduction.
Step one: Preparing the Body of Your Speech.
The body of your speech will contain the outline of the major ideas you want to
present. It will also have the evidence or information that supports and clarifies your
ideas.
First: List the main headings or subtopics related to your subject.
Write down the main headings which might be included in your speech. Write them
as you think of them. Some ideas will be important, some will be insignificant. At
this time, just concentrate on writing all the ideas you can think of that relate to the
subject and purpose of your speech.
