This is a 4 6 Minute Presentation You Will Show The Audience How To

This is a 4-6 minute presentation. You will show the audience how to do something. In other words, this is a "how to" speech where you demonstrate how to make, change, build, repair, cook, or in some way create something. Importantly, this speech requires a visual aid and at least one academic source. Requirements for this speech include: A clear introduction, body, and conclusion; a concise thesis; clear posting labels in the body of the speech that correspond to the main points posted in the introduction; a keyed-off conclusion that summarizes the main points, restates the thesis, and refers back to the attention-getter; a typed full sentence outline submitted to Canvas prior to the speaking date. The outline must contain one source that is referenced according to APA style in the Works Cited section. This source must be cited in the correct parenthetical method for APA in the text of the outline. This source must be attributed by its most important characteristic in the presentation. The speech must have a visual aid. You should have speaker notes that do not interfere with the message. Be sure to look at the example of a How to/Demonstration speech in the File section of Canvas. I want to choose how to change, I am an international student, I come from China, I want to say how to change for me.

Paper For Above instruction

The purpose of this speech is to demonstrate a process—specifically, "how to" change a certain aspect of life or environment for international students. As an international student from China, my journey involves adapting to a new academic and social environment in a foreign country. Therefore, I will focus on a topic that resonates with my experience: "How to Successfully Adapt as an International Student in a New Country." This topic allows me to share practical steps and insights on overcoming cultural, academic, and social challenges, ultimately helping other students in similar circumstances.

The introduction of the speech will set the context by emphasizing the importance of adaptation for international students, citing studies that highlight the struggles and opportunities faced when relocating for education. The thesis will state that successfully adapting involves a series of steps including cultural understanding, language improvement, building a support network, engaging in campus activities, and balancing academic and personal life.

In the body, the main points will be organized into clear sections, each labeled for clarity. The first point will focus on understanding and respecting cultural differences; the second on improving language skills to communicate effectively; the third on creating a support network of friends, mentors, and campus resources; the fourth on actively participating in campus activities to build community; and the fifth on balancing academic responsibilities with personal well-being.

Each section will include specific strategies and practical tips. For example, cultural understanding can be facilitated through local events and cultural exchange programs. Language improvement can involve enrolling in language courses and practicing daily communication. Building a support network may include joining student organizations and seeking mentorship. Engaging in campus activities helps foster a sense of belonging, while maintaining a balanced schedule reduces stress.

The visual aid will feature a flowchart or infographic illustrating these steps, helping the audience visually grasp the process of adaptation. Speaker notes will be prepared to ensure clarity and to enhance delivery without overshadowing the main message.

The conclusion will summarize the main points, reiterate the thesis, and connect back to the attention-getter by inspiring confidence that adaptation is achievable with the right strategies. The full outline will be submitted in advance with a citation of a scholarly article on international student adaptation, formatted in APA style, which will also be referenced in the speech.
