Successful monologues usually involve a great deal of
behind-the-scenes effort, as well as a lot of concentration and practice.
Structured monologues show the learner’s ability to organize and present
information on familiar and less familiar topics in simulated situations. When
delivering a structured monologue the key point is to organize your speech in a
logical, coherent and cohesive way. A monologue as any structured presentation
generally falls into three parts: the introduction, the main body and the
conclusion. Each of the parts plays an essential role with its unique function.
The introductory or the opening lines of the structured monologue are the most
important of all. They could help create the positive impression on the
listeners. Good way to start your speech is to say something that grabs the
audience’s attention, for example:
• A quotation from a famous/ well-known person;
• A rhetorical question;
• A strong, powerful
declarative statement;
• A scenario opening, which usually begins with
“Imagine...”. Do not forget to connect the opening lines of your speech with
the main thesis of the structured monologue. The body is the biggest part of
the speech, where the majority of information is transferred. This is the part
of the monologue where the main points should be made.

Subject: Miserable situation of traffic in our area.
Dear Sir,
I am writing to your esteemed newspaper about the horrendous situation of traffic in and around ABC Colony. Not only is the traffic bad on normal days, but it also becomes much worse during the monsoons and winters. There are no traffic lights working, nor are there any traffic policemen on duty. Moreover, the road is full of potholes that further disrupts and pose a huge threat to the movement of traffic and even the safety of both drivers and the ones walking.
The colony’s welfare association has written to the concerned authorities about the issue but no action has been taken so far. So, I am writing to your newspaper in the hope that the issue catches the attention of the concerned authorities.
Thank you.
Regards,
Mr. Atul Sharma
A resident of ABC Colony.
