Actuative Speech

As for my speech I am going to be persuade my audience to learn and to keep their native language. For my first main point I am planning to explain the problem with young adults, and them not understanding their language fluently enough. In my second main point I am going to explain about the benefits of keeping your native language, and what it can provide in your life along the way. Finally in my third main point, I'm going to suggest 3 reasonable actions my audience can take to learn more of their native language.
For my introduction, I'm going to start off with a question as a grabber. Afterward I am going to give a few facts and statistics on how many people in the Unites States speak English. These fact will be through a credibility. For my conclusion I am going to try to persuade my audience to consider one of the suggestions that I offered. Then I will review my main speeches again and close it up with strong ending. For the ending I hope to get my audience to at least think about how much they know their language, and hopefully try to learn more.
To persuade my audience, I'm going to give a few narratives that tie in with my topic. Because I know almost all of my audience can relate to this topic, I'm going to emphasis my 3 suggestions very clearly and strongly.

I love your topic. Being a Filipina I wished I knew my native language, which is tagalong and illocano. I sometimes regret not learning it at a younger age because when I go back to the Philippines I sometimes just wish that I could communicate with my relatives especially my grandma in their native tongue. I also wish that I could know my language so I would be able to understand my parents, family friends, and relatives when they talk Tagalog at family gatherings and such. What’s your native language? And, do you know it? Sounds like your next coming speech is going to be very interesting to hear.

Hello Genurr! It sounds like you are on the right track here. Make sure your third main point is the visualization step. You can include the course of action in this step (but you might want to save that for your conclusion, as your conclusion is the 'action' step), but make sure you include the visualization aspect of the third main point. :)
