General Purpose: To inform
Specific Purposes: At the end of my speech, the audience will be able to plan their holidays efficiently.
Central Idea: Planning ahead before going on a holiday include setting a budget, reading up about the getaway destination and drawing up an itinerary, and packing light and right.
I. Introduction
A. Attention material: Vacation is fun. Who doesn’t love to go on a vacation? It is a perfect way to spend time with your loved ones, to explore a new place and most important of all, to de-stress and relax yourself from the hustle and bustle of your work life.
B. Tie to the audience: I’m sure everyone in this room has been on a vacation, be it domestic or overseas. The best part about going on a holiday is that you get to see and experience a totally new place with different food and culture and making new friends is an added bonus. However, there is a downside to going on a holiday; planning and packing.
C. Credibility material: I went on a trip to New Zealand two years ago, and that was the first time I planned everything on my own, from applying for a visa to acquiring accommodation. Planning your trip is important to avoid unnecessary stress and to fully utilize your time there, as time is money, especially in a country where the currency is higher.
D. Preview: I will explain on how to plan ahead for your holiday including how to plan a budget, how to plan an itinerary at your destination, and how to pack light and right.
[Transition: I will start by explaining the most essential thing in planning a getaway, how to manage your budget.]
