Case writing-Speech structure

1.Introduction

To get the attention from the judges and the audience, we can use an AGD. It can be a startling statement, series of statistics, a quotation, or an anecdote.

Then, after a link sentence, we can explain how serious the problem is and how it may harm people. After that, trasit to the main body.

2.Body

Three contentions or more can be used to support the stand on the topic. Each of them may contain several arguments. The British philosopher Stephen Edelston Toulmin established the Toulmin Model of Argument. It contains a claim, a ground, and a warrant. The ground provides evidence for the claim, and often it can be quotations, reports, findings, evidence, reasoning, or statistics. The warrant connects the claim with the ground.

3.Conclusion

Conclude by reviewing the main point, restating the thesis, finishing an anecdote, and leaving last impression.
