INTRODUCTION
• Open with impact/ Attention getter
Cell phone is a gadget where people tend to use to make call, give short message service (SMS).(suddenly the phone is ringing and I picked it up while doing presentation). • Tie to the audience/ reason to listen
Back to my slide, fact says that we cannot do two things at the same time. Based on what I acted just now showing that while I gave my speech, and someone just call me at the same time, I cannot do that both. It is related with while we are driving, and someone just calls us, and then we tend to do or focus on just one thing. Why I am saying that? That is because we use only half of our brain to process for what we do. • Credibility statement/ material
When I drove back to my hometown and yes, sometimes I am talking on the phone while driving. So, after few times seeing some accident and the impact when using hand phone while driving, I get my knees shake. • Preview of main points/ central idea
For today, I will convincing you that cell phone need to be banned while driving because the minds will not focus on the driving and how to overcome this problem which is the government need to fine driver that found guilty with high prices and the government should improve the roads condition such as put the “rumble strips”.
Transition to body of speech:
First of all, we need to know what the problem in this statement is.
BODY
• Main point 1
When we are driving in a car while talking on the phone, our mind cannot focus on the road because one hand with the phone and one hand manoeuvre the car. • Supporting details 1
Certain studies show that driving while talking on the phone can lead to injury or increasing the crash risk. • Supporting details 2
Example like a study by Suzanne McEvoy and colleagues of driver on 2005 in Western Australia have found that drivers that are using cell phones were four times tend to be in injury-resulting crashes when talking on the cell phones. • Supporting details 3
Niki Taylor which is a supermodel had got in an accident. The accident was began when a friend of her or stockbroker, James ‘Chad’ Renegar had hit a utility pole while trying to retrieve a ringing phone. From the report, there were also a passenger aside Niki. The weather were stormy and the road were wet and winding. Niki sat in front of passenger seat during the low impact crash. (picture of Niki Taylor)
Transition to main point 2
As we all know, the government have banned the use of cell phone while driving. • Main point 2
Phone can bring harm to people around if the driver is using it. Government need to be aggressive in settling this issue. So, the government need to fine the driver with high prices summons. • Supporting details 1
Example like one of state in United States of America which is Massachusetts had given the penalty to the driver that has been found guilty. They will be fine for $100 for first offense and the second offence will be $250 and the third offence will be $500. • Supporting details 2
By doing this, I am sure people will not played their cell phones while driving because the price is to high!
Transition to main point 3
Besides that, cell phone is a distracting thing while driving a car. • Main point 3
When we are driving, we are tending to be more careful or cautious about people around. But, when something distracting us we might lose focus on driving example when suddenly something happened, we have or tend to have slower braking time. • Supporting details 1
To curb this from always happened, the government can also make some changes to the road rather than we use the law to reduce the number of driver that doing this ‘crime’. The government need to install “Rumble Strips” along road to get attention of the driver. • Supporting details 2
Rumble strips can also be called as sleeper lines which are to alert the driver if they have drift from their lane on the road. Besides it is an economical and effective to the driver. Picture shown that the rumble strips in Hennikar, New Hampshire, US. (picture is shown)
Transition to conclusion
Be sure to keep this in mind that with using cell phone while driving will cause you to be in more high risk state.
Conclusion
• Summary of main point
In conclusion, I am emphasise that using cell phone while driving will cause you more impact because your mind cannot focus on driving, and it will distracting you as a driver and we need to follow the law from government or else we might get into trouble. • Close with impact/ Call for action
From me, “Remember you beloved one and drive safely for this coming celebration”
