Guidelines for using language in your speech

In this section of Chapter 10 I learned a lot of helpful things when it comesto the laguage I use when I am delivering my speech. One important thing I learned was not to get too attached to my words. I learned that using the "perfect" word will not make my speech. Instead, making sure that I get my point across is what is really important. Sometimes when I am trying to shape my speech I try to find the right words to use when really I should be focusing on the bigger picture, and this secrtion really helped me with that. Another thing I learned was to be concise. This means not to be too wordy or make any sentence or process explanation longer than it needs to be. Basically, it means that I need to get to the point. During my last two speeches meeting the time length was a problem because I was worried I would go over. This is because I was too wordy and put in information that could have been shortened or excluded all together. This was a very helpful tip for me because it addressed one of my major problems.
