essential elements in the rest of the
text.

following tasks for an essay:
• Identifies the subject and usually
sets the scene.
• Establishes the significance and the
purpose.
• identifies scope of the essay.
• States the central or thesis.
• Sets the tone and style.

• The hook is an introduction that
catches the reader's attention.

facts, statistics, quotes, or anecdotes
that reference the topic of the essay.

topic
--a brief detail about the topic to be
discussed.

14. C. Thesis Statement
A thesis statement is a sentence that
explains what you are trying to prove and
provides an overview of the arguments
you will make in your body paragraphs.
The thesis acts as a roadmap for the rest
of your paper. Do not worry about going
into too much detail about what your
arguments will be; instead, focus on
writing a clear, concise statement that
hints at the topics you plan to discuss.

15. The Body
This is the part where explanations,
definitions, descriptions, discussions and the
connection are made with the reader. It
narrates, describes, summarizes, explains,
argues, defines comments, reflects,
classifies, and examines all of the possible
aspects.

16. Conclusion
• Everything gets wrapped up in the
concluding part of the essay. It also reminds
the readers and reasserts the main point. It
often provides an answer to the question of
what it all really meant. It shouldn’t introduce
any new point or aspect and should rather
lead to the conclusion. The ideal length for
the conclusion is same as the introduction.

An entertaining speech is one
whose sole purpose is to have the
audience enjoy the presentation. The
purpose of an entertaining speech is
not to educate, inform or inspire … it
is to make the audience smile, relax,
enjoy and maybe even laugh their
heads off.

27. How do you make a speech
entertaining?
• tell jokes
• tell funny stories
• dramatize an anecdote
• tell a scary story

28. Guidelines in creating an
entertaining speech
Chose an appropriate topic
You don’t want the topic to be too dense,
complicated or heavy. Remember, you’re not
trying to give your audience a greater
understanding of anything. You’re there to
help them have a good time.
Enjoy yourself
Believe it or not, it is hard for an audience to
enjoy your presentation if it looks like you are
not enjoying presenting it!

29. Keep it simple:
Your presentation should be easy to follow.
Don’t make it hard for your audience to keep
up with you mentally … or in any other way.
•
Make it visceral:
Use vivid word pictures. This is not the type of
presentation where you can be lazy in your
descriptions. Make your words pop with strong
images that pop in their minds.

30. • Say it like a roller coaster, baby!
Add unexpected twists and turns to your
presentation. When you surprise your
audience with where your story is going, that
adds to the entertainment factor.
