Informative speech and Analyzing your Audience

In my informative speech, I’d like to talk about junk foods, specifically, the benefits of junk foods. I chose this topic because I often eat junk foods. In my speech, I will talk about the benefits of it in our life, not in our health because we all know that too much junk food will not be good for us. I would like to share the things that junk foods do in our daily lifestyle. One benefit that I will tackle about junk foods is that, it saves time. I will further explain it with my speech together with the other benefits.

The audience/listeners play an important role in public speaking because they are the people whom you will be talking to and informing them about your topic. Before speaking in front of them, I have to deal with their profiles.

• In terms of age, we all share the same level. It ranges from 16 to 19 year old students. This generation is called the modern day youth because nowadays, we experienced different high tech things like cellphones, computers, and many more. They can easily adapt to my topic because as I have said, we are from the same age.

• The audience that I am having in my speech is college students. We are all studying in the same school. These students are a combination of Management, Communication Arts, and Engineering students.

• The venue of our public speaking is only in the classroom so I assume that they will just sit there and listen to the speaker. Our time is at 8 in the morning so I guess that some of them are active , some are sleepy or maybe some are hungry. My topic is about food so I will make sure that they will be interested in my topic.

• The purpose of my speech is to inform my classmates about the topic that I will use.

• This informative speech can also be helpful to the society because it will give them knowledge about the benefits of junk foods.

The audience will have a better understanding on the benefits of eating junk foods. Junk foods have disadvantages, but in my speech, they will also realize that it has advantages. They will gain more knowledge about my topic. Informing the right things to do is a challenging task, especially when most of them are not agreeing with you, but in my part, I will try to maximize my time to prepare and to give a speech that will benefit them.

Nervousness

Nervousness is my greatest enemy in public speaking. I already expect that it would be the most common weakness of all the students. During the discussion about nervousness, I learned many things. Somehow, it helped me to have a better understanding of this emotion that I'm experiencing whenever I'm speaking in public. The discussion made me realize that I can control my nervousness. I only need to focus and be relax before my speech. After this discussion, I have come up with my personal tips on how to deal with nervousness.

1. ALWAYS THINK POSITIVE. Don't think that you will mess up the whole speech. Always say that you can do it. Also, think that your classmates will also do the same thing.
2. BE RELAXED, especially when you are dealing with a highly stressful activity.
3. DON'T STRESS YOURSELF AND HAVE A PROPER DIET. Eat well and rest because it is very important to our body. When we are resting, our mind and body will be relaxed and will gain more energy for tomorrow.
4. ALWAYS BE PREPARED. When you prepare, you will gain more confidence.

One major requirement in ENGLISH TWO is our informative speech. These are the possible topics that I want to talk about, in my informative speech.
The first topic is about the Korean culture. I would like to know why they are popular in our country, like their tv programs, fashion, music, and many more. The second possible topic is about the History of McDonald's. I chose this topic because I like to eat in fastfood chains like this. Another possible topic is all about the Philippine movies.
These topics are just some of what I'm thinking but I'm no yet decided on what I will be using in my speech. I will of another interesting topics.
