1. Introduction

Communication is an essential part of our lives. We communicate everyday, with different people at different times in different ways. We communicate with our family, friends, people at work, and people we meet socially or professionally. At times, we may even need to communicate with a larger audience such as members of the public. Some purposes of communication are : To inquire : This involves obtaining information in various ways, for instance, by asking questions or through formulating questionnaires. To inform : This entails the dissemination of information using different channels of communication. To persuade : This aims to influence people and bring them round to your way of thinking. To develop goodwill : This involves maintaining and forming cordial and harmonious relationships with people you are communicating.

2. Speech as a Communication Medium Not everyone is born speaker., but everyone has the ability to develop effective oral communication skills. We may be asked to speak at school assembly, to make a farewell speech, to thank a visiting guest or to propose a toast. Within our life time too we will hopefully be making speeches in almost any occasion. A natural approach, and a pleasing tone of voice will endear us and our audience. An effective speaker should makes listeners feel valued and appreciated, has the power to keep the listeners attention, to make the listener think and to sway the listeners opinions. A good speaker should believes in himself and this gives others the confidence to believe in him, then, it would embrace the public speaking with a positive attitude. Speeches are made for different purposes. They may be made to persuade, inform or entertain an audience. Originality and a fresh approach will inspire our audience. The successful communicators are enthusiastic, energetic and passionate about their subjects. The speaker should be able to motivate the listeners if they have interest, knowledge and belief in the subject under discussions. It is a major communication medium to convey the important messages as well as the greetings.

c) A speech to promote new products in a launching events.

Hello and good morning to all people attending this launching ceremony. My name is Rashidah Daud, from Skin Laboratory Company, Petaling Jaya. In conjunction with Beauty Expo 2012 that been held this week, our company is about to lunch our new facial machine innovation that can be used at ease at home. Wonder that, the big machine from skin spa are now transferred to be a super small machine at the palm size and can be used everyday. Our new products, the guasar stone facial machine has been researched and developed at the United States of America since 30 years ago and this stone in this machine is really good for promoting blood circulation in our face. For your information, ourface need a good blood circulation as it will increase our cell growth and skin renewal. Do you agree with the pinkish cheek made us look so radiantly pretty? Think about that pinkish cheek everyday like a pinched cheek little baby. Our machine innovation are fully researched by our guasar stone expert. As you all wish to know, what is that guasar stone? This stone is fully functioned as heat transferring stone, will transfer the heat generated from the conductor to the skin. The heat however, you will have not to worries because it wont itch our skin at all. You must been puzzled, how this machine works? Its as simple as ABC. Firstly, you have to put the squared facial cotton on the guasar stone and clipped it on. Then we need to switch on the red button, and wait only for 1 to 2 minutes, depending on how long we want to use it. I recommended that u use this facial machine twice a day, during morning and evening before you have your beauty sleep. Believe me, your skin will be more supple, radiated and most importantly, contoured. The fat cell will diminish after 14 application and massages sessions. Then, the slim V face will be yours! We must been aware that the importance of taking care our skin is a major needs in our lives now. Whether man or woman, old and young, we must love our skin, and treat them nicely, as the skin is a major organ in our body. Without the skin, we will look bland like an alien and as pale like a corpse. Do you believe that we are what our skin speaks? Believe me, when we have a good skin condition, we will gained more good thing in our life. Ended this speech, I would love to suggest all woman in the world to love their face and take a good care of their facial shapes. Dont ever give a chance to the fat cell in your cheek. Instead, give that pinkish pinched in your cheek, stays, all day long by using this guasar machine, everyday. Thank you.
