Using rhetorical devices to write an effective speech

The status of the recipient defined in your task will indicate the level of formality required in the speech. Take a clear stance for or against the statement; alternative arguments should be refuted at least once in the piece. We can employ rhetorical devices to seem relatable to the audience, grab their attention and emphasise key messages. Your conclusion is your final chance to persuade the audience so use as many relevant rhetorical devices as you can. A great way to end your speech is to consider what the consequences would be if people don't take action.
