A speech is a form of verbal communication in which a message is expressed or an argument is presented in a structured and coherent manner. It can be oral or written and aims to persuade, inform, convince, or entertain a specific audience.
Speeches can vary in style, tone, and content depending on the context in which they are delivered, whether in political speeches, academic lectures, sales pitches, among others.
An effective speech must have a clear introduction, logical development, and a strong conclusion to achieve its communicative purpose.
