Note to friends: a note is informal and straight to the point
Hey. I know we had plans but there's been a change. I got in trouble a while back and my parents are sure of me going out. I've been trying everything, from doing all of my homework, getting good grades, and even doing extra chores. I will try to convince them to let me hang tonight. Talk to you soon and I'll keep you updated.
Letter to parents: Formal and well-planned
Dear Mom and Dad,
I understand that you may still be upset that I messed up. I am truly sorry and I promise it will never happen again. I am writing this letter to ask you for leniency in your rules. I understand that I must suffer the consequences of my actions, but please consider the fact that I have never been in trouble before. I assure you I have learned from my actions and these things will never happen again. I am asking for a latter curfew hour and more days to spend with my friends. I ask that you think hard about this and consider the facts.
Thank You,
(Your name)
Most speakers and audience members would agree that an organized speech is both easier to present as well as more persuasive. Public speaking teachers especially believe in the power of organizing your speech, which is why they encourage (and often require) that you create an outline for your speech. Outlines<span>, or textual arrangements of all the various elements of a speech, are a very common way of organizing a speech before it is delivered. </span>
