1.2.2.1 The Introduction part of a monologue speech
The Introduction part of the speech and its role in speech making. The introduction part of the speech, also known as the head of the speech, first of all, must attract the attention of the listeners. “Unless a speaker can attract his listeners’ attention at once, his or her effort will be a failure.” These are the words of a great American lawyer Clarence Darrow. So, from these words we can see how important is the first impression during the monologue speech. And I would like to mention that it is useful for the speaker as well. The speaker feels more free when the listeners’ faces shine with interest.
In most monologue speech situations, the introduction has three main objectives. We will look at each of these objectives in turn.
-
Getting the attention and interest of listeners.
If your topic is not much of the interest, then the listeners may say to themselves, “So what? Who cares what are you talking about?” The speaker may quickly lose the listenersʼ interest if she or he doesn’t use the introduction to get their attention and quicken their interest. And the part or even the sentence that draws the attention of the whole audience is called “ the hook”. And as in any work, would it be a song, a novel, a piano or a violin composition, or even a writing task; there has to be a hook in any of these. So does the speeches require a hook. Itʼs one of the most essential parts of the introduction part of the speech.
-
Relate the Topic to the Audience.
People pay more attention to things that affect them directly. If the speaker relates the topic to the listeners, they are much more likely to be interested in.
Suppose, for example, one of the students begins his speech like this:
Today I am going to talk about jogging ‒ both fascinating and healthy hobby. I would like to introduce you to the basics of jogging and why it is so important for us to lead a healthy life.
This is certainly a clear introduction, but itʼs not the one to get you hooked on the speech. Now what if that student was to begin his speech this way ‒ as one student actually did.
It was a Sunday morning. I decided to get early and have some fresh air and went out. Then I met a really beautiful girl doing some jogging. And I was so excited when I saw her, and I was brave enough to go and ask her whether she were or not against if I joined her. She did not refuse and itʼs a year since we are together and keep jogging every Sunday morning. That has become a tradition for us and a sign to show ourselves that we are stronger than we seem, because itʼs really difficult to get up early on Sundays, as you may all know. But we fight ourselves every time and keep getting up, keep running when out of breath, and this is how we learn not to give up but become winners every time.
This time the student has used just the right bait. And he grabbed the attention of the whole class. And the audience saw not only jogging being a healthy sports but other useful sides as well. That meant that that student had a really good critical thinking and he showed the emerald from lots of sides which makes the speech more interesting. The students and me listened to him so attentively. He got us hooked.
And here is another example of my another excellent student about dreams who started her speech really creatively and fascinated me as well.
You are being chased by a creature of an unbelievable horror. You keep running, yet he gets closer and closer. You run as fast as you can and you are already out of breath. Your legs are aching, you feel a lot of pain on your feet, and you can keep running no more. And his paws get your back and the monster’s dreadful laughter freezes your bones. You are completely helpless ‒ eye to eye with death.
Then you wake up, gasping for air, you heart beating like a drum, your face damp with sweat. It takes a few minutes for your heart and breath to slow down. You dispel your fears with the words, “It was just a dream, just a dream.” Soon you slowly drift back to sleep.
By using vivid language to describe all her classmates had experienced, that student made sure of an attentive audience.
