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.
This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.
Read "The Postmaster", by Tagore.
The story is about a postmaster who is trying to adapt to the new life in the village of Ulapur. In what way is the postmaster's life different from his life in urban Calcutta?
A. The postmaster disliked the people working in the indigo factory in the small village.
B. The postmaster finds it difficult to associate himself with the simple life and folk in the remote village of Ulapur.
C. The postmaster was too proud to adjust his life to the small village of Ulapur.
D. The postmaster did not like the green, slimy pond and dense growth near his office and living room.
Answer: B. The postmaster finds it difficult to associate himself with the simple life and folk in the remote village of Ulapur.
Explanation:
The postmaster seems to feel extremely out of place in Ulapur because he considers himself to belong to Calcutta. He also feels too sophisticated compared to the simple villagers and maybe too arrogant to the ones he wanted as friends. Furthermore, there´s not much to do in his new location. So he doesn´t have much company or activities to do.
Depending on the audience, the formality, ideas presented, and vocabulary can change. For example, if you were presenting to children, you wouldn't use complex words.
