21) What is the preview of the speech and give a detailed example. “Buying on Ebay.”
A preview of a speech is essentially a blueprint or a table of contents for your speech. It will inform the audience on how many main points you have, and in what order you will be presenting them.
If I had to give a table of contents for “Buying on Ebay” it would go something like this:
“Buying on Ebay is extremely risky because the potential for encountering scammers is exceedingly high. Second, exposing the system that keeps the scammers hidden. And, third, develop a simple strategy to combat the problem.” A simple table of contents describes to the the audience exactly what they should expect to hear, and in what order it will be presented.

were planning on giving a speech on swine flu virus, explain who you might interview and why.
If I were to give a speech on swine flu virus and I had to interview a person I would definitely interview a virologist.
This person studies how viruses affect humans in a positive or negative way. Why would I chose this individual? Well, a virologist can answer questions about the makeup of the actual virus (in this case swine flu) and how it affects our bodies on a microbiological level. He would be able to provide me with insights as to what the strengths and weaknesses of the virus were, plus how to create antibodies to combat this virus.
The steps I would take for this interview are:
First, I would need to establish a purpose or objective for this interview. I would start by making a list on things I need to find out, things I can't possibly find on my own. If I had to interview a virologist I would want answers to questions such as “How does this virus work on a microscopic level? How does it interact with other organisms within the cell” These are just two examples of what my objective or purpose would be for this interview.
Second, I would need to schedule an interview. I can't just show up unannounced, because it would make me look unprofessional. I would introduce myself, and provide my credentials. Next, I would briefly explain the nature of my call and ask for an appointment. Depending on what the other person is comfortable with, I would ask if they prefer an audio or video recorded interview; once I arrive for the interview, I need to come
prepared.
Third, I would do my due diligence and find out as much as I possibly could about swine flu virus, and the virologist I am interviewing. I would spend a significant amount of time doing my own leg work in learning as much as I could about what swine flu virus is. By coming prepared to the interview I will eliminate any unnecessary questions, and get to the bread and butter of my interview.
