Think of a Topic to Fit

A Topic to Fit--You, the Time and the Audience

• You- Be sure that your subjects suits you. If you're good at shop, talk about your home workshop. If arts is your main interest, share with the class your enthusiasm. If you have a lively interest in your topic, your audience will catch some of your enthusiasm.
• Time- Cut down your topic to fit the time allowed for your speech. Some students want to give five minutes the history of major league basketball or a summary of the topic that fits the interest of the audience.

Like for example:


Original Topic College education

Limited Topic The college that I want


Speech Subject Why I want to to attend go to college?

• Audience- Select a subject in which you can interest your audience. If your topic is technical, choose and popular aspect of it for a general audience.
