In their speech, the speaker raises the current problem of obesity in the United States and describes what health consequences it carries. The purpose of this speech is to inform people about the current issue, as well as what effect obesity can have on health. The awareness lies in the fact that some people may confuse overweight and obesity, which does not allow them to respond to the danger in time. Although the media are trying to convince people that obesity is harmful to health, in the United States, there is a tendency to increase the number of people with obesity.
The hook used by the speaker is quite convincing and leads to the main problem of the speech. The speaker does not use statistics or an introductory story in the introduction but only demonstrates the apparent fact that obesity is a severe problem that hurts people’s health. The opening is not outstanding or memorable, but it clearly defines the topic of the further speech, its relevance to the audience, and focuses on the main aspects of the upcoming discussion.
The presentation focuses quite precisely on the research, it is structured and provides information about the current data. The speaker offers statistical data that determines which diseases can follow obesity. The organization of the speech is convenient, it is easy to follow, and it excludes complex professional phrases and words that may be incomprehensible to an ordinary person who is not a specialist in the medical field. The speaker uses smooth transitions and allows listeners not to lose the thread of the presentation.
The central part of the presentation is divided into two parts, between which the transition is carried out. The first part focuses on the current problem of obesity, and the second part describes the role of the media in working with people. The first part identifies the problem and provides statistics, as well as the listed obesity-related diseases. In the second part, the speaker talks about the positive and negative aspects of the work of the media. The positive ones are that people can create communities that help people unite and work together to fight the problem of obesity. Various social media platforms can help develop similar communities and groups.
The negative effect of the media is that through the broadcasting of various programs, people may form an incorrect perception of the problem of obesity. Subsequently, this will also affect their health and physical wellness. The mass media can spread unreliable facts that people can believe. These data make it possible to make the speaker’s speech convincing and convenient for perception and further reflection. In this part of the speech, citations of studies and people taking an active role in these studies are actively used.
The conclusion summarizes the main results of the speech and repeats the thesis given at the very beginning. The ending does not contain practical recommendations and does not encourage people to monitor their body weight and their physical health. The speaker very briefly sums up his speech and focuses on the fact that their presentation was focused only on residents of the United States. The conclusion is not memorable and vivid, which can reduce the correct perception of information by listeners. To correctly summarize his speech, the speaker needs to form several recommendations for people prone to obesity, as well as encourage people to monitor their health, especially in current conditions.
