The Power Of Words
Words
Complex or big words may look very sophisticated but are poorly followed by most of the audience. Your speech should be clearly understood by the person with the least intelligence in the audience. Therefore, use simple words with only 1 or 2 syllables. e.g. Use "Refusal" for "Unwillingness", "Serious" for "HumorlessnessHumourlessness", "Happy" for "Irrepressible".
Use Short, Simple Sentences
Use plenty of full stops. Do not use more than 2 phrases in each sentence. Verbal tics like "ugh. ugh, um...um.." "you know, you know", "and all and all" etc. distract the listener from the effectiveness of a good speech. e.g. “Having gone to attend the office on Sunday, I found the office locked because the peon had not come till 9 a.m.” It can be spoken as : “I went to the office on Sunday. The peon had not come till 9 a.m. The office was still closed.”
Connectives
Use "However", "Moreover", "Consequently", "Therefore," etc. to form a smooth flow. e.g. "I want to office on Sunday. However, the peon had not come till 9 a.m. Therefore, the office was still closed."
Rule Of 50 - 50
Use connectives to connect at least 50% of the sentences. Avoid "And", "Which" to connect two different ideas.
e.g. "One day I was waiting for my friend in East St. and I found him coming on his bike and this gladdened my heart very much". It can be spoken as : "One day, I was waiting for my friend in East St. After a while, I saw him coming on his bike. This gladdened my heart very much."
