who can help me prepare a speech for about 5 mins on oral communication?

Answer 1

Oral communication is of course the oldest form of communication. Before paper and writing were invented speech was used. Stories, tales and folk laws were often passed down from generation to generation through what is known as oral 'tradition' and this is why similar stories are often found in different cultures with only slight variations.

Many claim that parts of the bible were written years after Jesus lived and died and that the stories were passed down by oral tradition.

Contrary to what many believe experts think that in this day and age oral tradition is not actually our first/main way of communicating which is instead put down to body language, clothes etc.

Any help?

Answer 2

Whenever I have to do a presentation I always start off with a spider-plan or mind map of points I think are important. Then I consider the point I want speech to make and I list those points in an order which I think help me make my point, and then I link all the points with connecting sentences. You can start from the bottom or the top of your list.
For example:
'Oral communication is one of our most sensitive and emotional human communications - so much can be 'said' (or misinterpreted) by the way things are said or the emphasis used in words ......'.
You might then want to practice your speach in front of a mirror with a watch or a clock to time yourself - you'll be suprised how difficult it is to keep to 5mins!!!
Hope this helps

Answer 3

in all probability too previous due now yet, for the destiny, ( if prose is authorized ) Presidential speeches are thrilling. Washington's or Kennedy's inaugural or Eisenhower's graduation. Very thrilling and common to communicate. Or something by Thomas Paine.
