For my fourth and last speaking center appointment, we started off by looking over my write-out. Then I read it to the coach, who timed me. While reading I noted that I needed to clarify and define things that the audience may not know of. After that, I was handed a paper that showed how to outline a paper and given some advice. She suggested I improve my introduction by stating a fact, story, or question at the beginning. In addition, she advised me to improve my conclusion, possibly by restating my thesis. We even researched what I could include for my attention-getter, and found this statistic: “With 26% of all daily trips achieved by bike, cycling is an integral part of daily life for everyone in the Netherlands,” according to Copenhagenize.com.
