Topic - About Myself

Dear Student,

You will have to prepare a course outline and to prepare to speak about yourself in front of the class. You have to print two copies of your outline: one for yourself (you will be able to use it while you speak) and one for me (I will keep it in my file). If you still do not understand how to prepare a good speech outline, study an example below. I hope it will help you to focus your thoughts on the topic and deliver your speech in the best possible way. 

Here is an example of a good Speech Outline:
