Define what the audience should understand after the talk. Select two or three main points and one concrete example for each. Put background before details and end with the main takeaway. Do not include everything you know if it does not serve the purpose.
Choose a topic that you understand and a purpose that fits the audience. Organise the talk into an opening, a few developed points and a closing. A key-word outline can support speech without forcing word-for-word reading. During rehearsal, check whether a listener can state your main message afterwards. Work on one communication feature at a time: relevance, organisation, pace or pronunciation. Course practice is a foundation for further learning rather than proof of mastery.
