The word speech refers to the use of words to communicate specific ideas to an audience, usually speech aim at specific topics or state a specific position related to some issue, due to this conducting research or looking for information that you can include in your speech is important as you can find evidence, examples, statistics and other useful information that helps you to explain your ideas better and show these are valid. But this process of researching also implies considering evidence or information that contradicts or rebuts your position or ideas as this information shows your position is not the only one and you can find similar positions of this audience and due to this it is required to find further information that helps you to rebut other positions and show your position is somehow stronger or you have important evidence to support it or evaluate how accurate your position is.
