Introduction:
Attention Getter: In this public speaking class, we have 74 days left until the end of the semester, and for some of us the end of high school entirely. We have 96 hours and 42 minutes left in this class, but my speech will only take five minutes or about 0.086% of our class time together. Since this is such a small percentage of our time, hopefully you will listen listen and learn something interesting about me.
Relevance Statement: To properly understand our audience in a public speaking class, as class members we should do our best to learn about others and this speech will help you learn …show more content…
about me.
Credibility Statement: As you could probably guess, I am expert in all things me.
Thesis Statement: Today, I am gonna tell you about me and some information you, as the audience, may not know.
Preview Statement: 1) First, I will discuss my background and my basic information. 2) Second, I will discuss my hobbies and activities. 3) Finally, I will discuss some unique and trivial facts about myself.
Transition: First, I will discuss some background information about myself.
Here is a little about me.
I am currently 18 years old.
I live in Eldridge, Iowa.
I have four brothers, all different ages: 3, 4, 13 and 15.
Next year, I will be continuing my intramural basketball career at the University of Iowa.
While there, I will also be studying for a degree in Energy and Environmental Engineering.
Transition: Now that I’ve discussed some background information, I will move into my hobbies and activities.
Most of my hobbies and activities revolve around one thing, sports.
I play basketball and run cross country and track.
When I am at home, I am usually watching sports on TV.
If I play my PS4, it is exclusively sports games.
My favorite sport is basketball.
My favorite professional sports teams are the Dallas Cowboys of the NFL, Dallas Mavericks of the NBA, and the New York Mets of the MLB.
Transition: Now that you know more about me and my hobbies, I will discuss some unique and trivial facts about myself.
I have been very lucky in my life and I have had some genuinely cool experiences.
I have been to three countries outside of the US: Scotland, England, and Costa Rica.
I have ridden the London Eye(the big ferris wheel).
While in Costa Rica, I was robbed at
gunpoint.
I have been to two places featured on the TV Ghost Adventures. They are the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park and the Edinburgh Caverns underneath Edinburgh, Scotland.
I have been to two NFL games, one NBA game and six MLB games.
I have a autographed pennant by future Hall of Fame tight end Tony Gonzalez.
I also have a signed David Wright baseball.
Conclusion:
Final Summary: From my four brothers to overseas adventures, my life has been unique, different and chaotic.
Restate Thesis: Today, I told you about me and some information you, as the audience, may not know.
Tie Back to Introduction: As I close, I would like to joyfully remind you that you are 0.086% closer to summer break and no school.
Reviewed Points: 1) Today I first discussed my background information and future plans. 2) Second, I discussed my hobbies and activities 3) Finally, I discussed some unique experiences and items I have.
Memorable Closing: As my speech concludes, I would like to thank you, as my audience, for listening to me talk about myself for five minutes and I hope you learned something today. Also, for your sake, I hope you never have to listen to me talk about myself again. Thank You.
