1. PLAN YOUR SPEECH by considering your audience.
Identify your audience. Keep in mind their age bracket, educational attainment, profession, cultural background, etc. Be clear on why your topic is of interest to them. If you’re preparing a speech for a debate contest, know also the background or ‘demographics’ of the judges and keep them in mind as you proceed.
2. Organize your speech by identifying your main points.
Jot down few key points you want your listeners to remember. Express each thought in a single, unambiguous statement, and support each statement with pertinent information. Facts, statistics, historical background, quotations from authorities, case studies, and the like may be important to your topic. Consider also using visual aids to emphasize significant points ...

2. The school could expose its students to various activities and competitions regarding technical writing for research papers or theses. (Who knows, one of the students may produce findings which may be adopted as one of the school’s innovative actions towards good education and global competitiveness.) ...

Question:
If you would have the opportunity and the means to put up your own school (basic education, meaning elementary and high school), how will you design and organize it so that it will offer a world class education featuring a wide variety of learning programs and extra-curricular activities that develop students into globally competitive and well-rounded individuals? You will develop your own unique system of education, a comprehensive and holistic system benchmarked from prominent (local) educational institutions, local and abroad.
A) QUALIFIED COMPUTER BASED LEARNING
As being globally competitive today has become almost synonymous to being computer literate, it would be an advantage for students in basic education to get early exposure to modern technologies. CBL refers to the use of computers as the major component of the educational environment. Using computers for teaching purposes, CBL therefore is very much related to Computer-Aided Instruction (CAI) and e-learning ...

... Some philosophers of language dismiss each use of the nothing as nonsense, and here I beg to disagree with them. One proof that the use of the nothing is nothing less than sensible is the fact that it practically makes sense to verbally sketch some political crises by using the different usages of the term nothing. Here is my example:
“There was nothing for it but for the government to admit its guilt, some critics say. The government officials accordingly are nothing if not culpable. Nevertheless, some are alarmed, for it’s positively not for nothing that the President, with all of these hubbubs, is apparently doing nothing ...
