You may begin as follows: adies and gentlemen. I!m very pleased to introduce a very special guest..... Features of a speech "# $hould we use formal or informal language in an introduction speech% It depends on the audience. You have to know your audience If you are speaking to a group of school students, you should not be overly formal. & touch of informality with the use of contractions: I'm very pleased. Let's give Mr Ang a round of applause
    This helps to tone down the seriousness of the occasion and helps both the speaker and the audience to relax. 2)Variety of sentence structures: Avoid overly long and complex sentence structures. !hort and simple sentences help to convey a speech message more effectively. "eaders can always go back to a written text to re#read a sentence if he$she doesn't get the idea on the first reading. %ut if your audience misses what you say the first time& the cannot'rewind' your message( and if they cannot understand what you say most of the time& their attention may wander& and you may be left standing& talking to no one in particular. This does not mean. however that you should avoid long sentences altogether. )sing long sentences to pave the way for a short sentence can give your speech a strong impact. 3) How to write a good introduction The occasional anecdote gives a slice of interesting news about your guest speaker is a good start to an introduction. *our guest speaker will appreciate the complimentary gesture& and your audience will look forward to the speech.
