Kids who are on time are more likely to stay in school. Then it has three main points and a summary. Do not put down people who are against your argument. The first job of the speaker is to prove that a certain problem is important. Follow my guidelines and get up a little bit earlier every day. If you do, you are making an unhealthy choice. How many times have you been late to school? In a persuasive speech, a person tries to get others to agree with an idea. It leads the listener to the next part. You will try to persuade classmates to get themselves out of bed an hour earlier every morning. Now, you are ready to work on your summary. Do you go to school in a bad mood because you argue with your parents? A good speech starts with an introduction. You have written three body paragraphs with strong transition statements. Or why they should play basketball instead of golf.
