The Speech that Made Obama

How to write a speech:


* a semi-formal to formal register, perhaps with flashes of informality
* include speech rhetoric e.g. rhetorical questions, repetition, flashes of humour
* address the audience at the beginning (Welcome/ Good morning ...)and keep contact with them throughout (e.g. use of “we” and “you” etc.)
* will catch the audience’s attention at the beginning, and leave a clear impression at the end
