In order to get attention and interest of your audience at the beginning of your speech, you can use an effective method such as “relate the _________ to the audience”.Example: It's Saturday morning, and you are helping clean out your grandmother's house. After working a while, you stumble upon a trunk, open it, and discover hundreds of old postcards. Thinking about getting to your driving lesson on time, you start tossing the cards into the trash can. Congratulations! You have just thrown away a year's tuition.
