Basic Structure (Non-Negotiable)

1. Opening (Given OR Simple Salutation)
2. Introduction Paragraph
3. Body Paragraph 1 (One Side)
4. Body Paragraph 2 (Other Side)
5. Analysis Paragraph (Generalised Evaluation)
6. Conclusion Paragraph
7. Ending: Thank you.

CORE RULE (VERY IMPORTANT)

Your Introduction and Conclusion MUST always match:

• The given task requirements
• The type of writing (Speech)
• The tone (formal, informative, controlled — NOT emotional)

KEY PRINCIPLES OF SPEECH WRITING

• This is NOT a debate
• This is NOT emotional persuasion
• This is knowledge-based, balanced communication
• Tone = formal + clear + informative

1. OPENING

Either:

• Use the given opening in the question

OR:

• Use a simple salutation:

“Good morning/afternoon respected audience,”

No need to repeat salutations again.

2. INTRODUCTION PARAGRAPH

Same 3-part structure:

Sentence 1 → General Statement

• Broad, neutral

Sentence 2 → Transition

• Introduce topic

Sentence 3 → Audience Awareness

• Acknowledge audience in a formal way

Keep tone informative, not dramatic.

3. BODY PARAGRAPH 1 — FIRST SIDE

• One side only
• Summarise given points
• Add 1–2 own points

4. BODY PARAGRAPH 2 — OTHER SIDE

• Opposite side only
• Same structure
• Add 1–2 own points

IMPORTANT BODY RULE

Do NOT mix both sides in one paragraph.

5. ANALYSIS PARAGRAPH (GENERALISED EVALUATION)

Same advanced approach:

• Generalise groups behind viewpoints
  • Youth → impulsive, experience-driven
  • Experts → logical, long-term thinking

Then:

• Compare
• Judge reliability
• Decide which is more convincing

6. CONCLUSION PARAGRAPH

• 1–2 lines only
• Formal, controlled
• No new ideas
• No emotional appeal

Keep it informative, not persuasive.

7. ENDING

Simply:

“Thank you.”

Nothing extra.

KEY DIFFERENCES FROM OTHER TYPES
