Writing a speech, either for yourself or someone else, requires clear, concise language, a strong focus and must be true to the speaker. Avoiding complex vocabulary and having a familiarity with the subject are key elements.
InstructionsA rumor is circulating that your company is relocating to another state. An executive conference was held at a resort located out of state, so that is probably how the rumor started. You have heard, falsely, that executives’ homes are listed for sale locally. You have heard, falsely, that executives have met with architects to build a headquarters in the new state. You have heard, falsely, that an entire (successful) division is going to be eliminated once the company moves to its new location. The rumor is affecting employee morale and production is down. An employee luncheon is planned next week.
The company president wants to put the rumor to rest and asks you to write her a brief speech to dispel the rumors.
