Hello everybody, Dr. David here.
6
We will continue your debate training today with a critical lesson on speech organization.
7
To guide you through this step of your training, I will introduce Structure SAM.
8
Sam's superpower is structure and organization.
9
He will teach you how to perfectly organize your speech.
10
Hello everyone!
11
My name is Structure Sam, and my goal is to train you all how to deliver a perfectly organized speech.
12
The first thing to remember is that a speech is just like any good story as a beginning, a middle, and an ending.
13
The beginning is the introduction, the middle is the body, and the ending is the conclusion.
14
Not much different from writing an essay.
15
Let's talk about how to make a speech introduction.
16
In the introduction there are a few things you always need to do.
17
First, you must introduce yourself and your speaker position.
18
For example, you might say: Hello ladies and gentlemen, my name is Sam and I am the first speaker for the PRO team.
19
Second, you must introduce the topic and let the audience know which side of the topic you will be arguing.
20
For example, you might say: "My partners
21
and I are proud to support the topic that mobile phones should be banned in schools." Third,
22
let the audience know what your main arguments are by listing the central claims your team will be making.
23
three main arguments.
24
First, We argue that mobile phones are harmful to students' eyes.
25
Second, we argue that mobile phones distract students from their studies.
26
And third, we argue that mobile phones expose students to harmful material.
27
Now that you have reminded the judge and the audience what your main arguments are, you'll need to tell them exactly what will happen in your speech.
28
This is called a preview.
29
This is one way that speeches are different from stories
30
and movies we tell the audience from the beginning precisely what will happen in the speech.
31
If you are the first speaker of the debate, you might simply say: In my speech today, I will first define the terms of the debate.
32
Second, I will deliver our team's first main argument that mobile phones are harmful to students' eyes.
33
Finally, I will provide a conclusion.
34
Now students, notice how I always number my different ideas and the parts of my speech.
35
I love numbering.
36
We call this enumeration.
37
It helps the audience follow our speech clearly.
38
This is the primary purpose of organization.
39
Let's look at what a full speech introduction might look like.
40
Hello ladies and gentlemen, my name is Brian and I am the first speaker for the pro team.
41
My partners and I are proud to support the topic that: "Mobile phones should be banned in schools."
42
we will deliver three main arguments.
43
First, we will argue that mobile phones are harmful to students' eyes.
44
Second, we say that mobile phones distract students from their studies.
45
And third, we say that mobile phones expose students to harmful material.
46
In my speech today, I will first define the terms of the debate.
47
Second, I will deliver our team's first main argument that mobile phones are harmful to students' eyes.
48
Finally, I will provide a conclusion.
49
So, we have covered the introduction of your speech.
50
Now, let's move on to the body of your speech.
51
The contents of the body of your speech depend on which speech in the debate you will deliver.
52
If you are the first speaker of the debate, the body of your speech must define and frame the topic and also deliver your arguments.
53
If you are the second speaker of the debate, the body of your speech must provide rebuttal to the other side and also deliver your team's argument.
54
If you are the third speaker in the debate, you must rebuild your partner's argument, provide a rebuttal to the other side, and also deliver a new argument
55
The critical thing to remember here is to make sure we deliver on what we promised in our preview.
56
The body of our speech begins with signposting our main points.
57
First, I will define today's motion and make it clear what our team stands for in today's debate.
58
Then you go on to explain the definition and framing of the debate.
59
Once you are finished, you make it clear
60
that you are moving on to the next part of the body of your speech.
61
Now I will move on to the second part of my speech.
62
I will deliver our team's first arguments about how mobile phones are bad for students' eyes.
63
Then you go on to explain this argument just how Argument Alice taught you.
64
Once you are finished, you move on to your conclusion.
65
The final part of our speech is a conclusion.
66
The conclusion is straightforward and only needs to be a brief statement indicating that your speech is coming to an end.
67
In the conclusion section, we reiterate our stance on the topic and urge the audience to support our side.
68
The conclusion might sound like this: In conclusion, ladies and gentlemen, My partners and I strongly support the topic that mobile phones should be banned in schools.
69
Thank you for listening.
70
Now you know how to structure your speech.
71
Every speech has a clear introduction that lets the audience know exactly what will happen in the speech.
72
Every speech is a full body that provides the critical content of our speech: framing, arguments, rebuilding, and rebuttals.
73
Every speech has a definite conclusion that offers a confident end for our speech.
74
Once you master the basic structure, SAM will teach you even more complex structures.
75
Good luck.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
