2. Question 2 (Chapter 10) 

Following are four complete introductions from classroom speeches. Each has at least one flaw that keeps it from fulfilling all the functions of a good introduction. For each introduction:

identify the flaw (or flaws)

make specific suggestions for improving the introduction

 

Introduction #1

It is very hard to cuddle a fish. Fish won’t roll over or fetch the morning paper. You won’t find them curling up on your lap, chasing a ball of string, or rescuing a child from a burning building.Yet despite these shortcomings, lots of tropical fish have found their way into American homes. Fish have earned a spot next to the all-American dog and the cuddly kitten in the hearts of millions. Today I would like to explain how you can start a home aquarium and discover the pleasures of owning tropical fish.

Introduction #2

We have so much unused human potential. By improving the use of your time, you can have much more time for social activities. You can use your mental processes more fully, thereby improving your grades. You can also increase your physical stamina and improve your health. We must learn to know our bodies. 

Introduction #3   

A six-year-old collie lay battered and helpless by the side of the road. The car that hit her had broken her pelvis, dislocated her hip and smashed her jaw. It had also blinded her and she whimpered in pain and fear. 

Unfortunately, this true story happens much too frequently because of the growing problem of pet overpopulation. Having grown up on a farm with animals of all kinds, I care deeply about their welfare and I have become aware through my veterinary courses on how serious the problem of pet overpopulation is. 

Introduction #4   

Every problem has at least two sides. When one side is right and the other side is wrong, the problem is easy to solve. But what if both sides have merit in their arguments? How do you solve these problems? Balancing the rights of everyone in an adoption is one of these problems.

The parents who give up the child have a right that all the information they disclose be kept confidential, while the adopted child has a right to know about the identity of his or her natural parents. 

Today, I’d like to explore this problem with you and look at one approach to solving it.

Answer :

A) The introduction creates good attention to the audience. This introduction also clearly describes the topic which will be discussed to the audience , that is setting up a home aquarium and pleasures of owning a fish. However this introduction, gets flawed in the lack of credibility. Also the preview statement is not clear making the audience ambiguous on how you will develop the topic. This introduction also lacks giving the importance of speech to the audience.

B) This introduction relates very well with the audience which helps to get immediate attention. But it does only that alone. This introduction does not give any information about the topic which has to be spoken nor provides any credibility of the speech. The main points which will be discussed in the speech is also not mentioned in this introduction.

C) This introduction is far better than the previous one. This is because, the introduction creates good attention from the audience as well as introduces the topic to be discussed to the audience which is problems of pet overpopulation . It also gives a credibility of the speaker , by having the line " Having grown up on a farm with animals of all kinds". But this introduction has one flaw. It has flaw in the lack of preview statement. This introduction can be improved if the topic is directly related with the audience in some or the other way.

D) This introduction clearly established the topic to the audience which is problems with you and your approach. This introduction also has a preview statement , which describes about the main points that will be discussed in the speech. However the main problem with this introduction is that it doesn’t have a credibility of the speaker. This introduction is so plain and lacks the attention seeking capacity
