What will be an ideal response?
Answer: (1) Relate your subject to your audience's needs—present every point in light of how it will affect the listeners. (2) Anticipate your audience's questions—anticipate listener questions and address them in the body of your speech. (3) Use clear, vivid language—familiar words, short sentences, and concrete examples. (4) Explain the relationship between your subject and familiar ideas—show how your subject is related to ideas that your listeners already understand. (5) Ask opinions or pause for questions or comments—this lets the audience change from listening to participating. (6) Illustrate your ideas with visual aids. Doing so will enliven your message and help your audience remember it more effectively.
