ENG336 Sample script

Intro
Jump start (Questioning technique)
What do you do during Songkran Festival?
Well, many of you may enjoy splashing water to one another. Some may go to the temple to make merits. What about pouring water to the elders? (Have you ever done this before?)
Why
Well, because it is a very good tradition, I would like to walk you through the benefits of pouring water to the elders.
Topic
And that is my topic today.
Greeting; self intro
My name is XXXX.
What: Preview
Today I am going to divide my talk into 2 main parts. I will start with the benefits for ourselves. And then I will move on to the benefits for others.
How
My talk will last about 2 minutes.
Signal
So, let’s get started.
Body
1. The first point that I will cover is the benefits for ourselves.  When we pour the water to the elders, we show our respect. In return, we will feel calm and blessed inside our heart and soul. For example, when you get up in the morning, you take the jasmine water and the garland to your parents. After that, you will feel happy all day long. Or even all year long.   
2. Now, let’s move to the second point which is about the benefits to others. When the parents receive the jasmine water and flowers from their children, they will feel blessed, impressed, and loved. This also leads to a close relationship in the family.
3.
Conclusion
Signal
Well, these are the two benefits that I want to bring up.
Summary: Review
The first one was the benefits for ourselves, and the second one was the benefits to others such as your family.
Finish with a bang                                   
Before I will end my talk, I would like to leave you with a Thai proverb that “Parents are the monks in your own home.” And therefore you should show them great respect.
