Speech Introduction.

The introduction was top notch effective since it was precise and vivid to the objective of his speech. The objectives of the student’s speech involved the history of chili pepper, why they can be so spicy and what happens when eating too hot peppers and ways the pepper can be utilized other than in foods. The preview highlights three body points which will be covered throughout the speech.

Body, Signposts and conclusion

After the student finished his introductory speech, when moving to the body, he utilizes some of the literary devices such as flashback to indicate the origin of chili pepper in order to up-level, make it better and more impactful as he continued to craft his speech hence getting the audience attention.

The main points of the student’s speech were based on historical findings, scientific research and articles such as Carolyn Dilly and Susan Bell who were the authors of the chili pepper book on why chili pepper is dietary essential hence spreading across the globe.

The signposts present was between the closing of introduction and opening of the body where the student paused for a while to indicate the audience that he is shifting to the body part. The other signpost was also at the closing of the body and the opening of the conclusion where he also posed and stated “in closing” to show that he is about to wrap up his speech.

The conclusion of the student was effective since he was recapping his main points throughout the speech. He also offers space for more research on chili paper especially on curing boldness.
