    The first thing you should do is figure out what world problem you would like to address. You could choose the economy, the genocide in Sudan, current Russian conflicts, the Gaza assult, or any one of many world problems. Once you decide what problem you would like to address, make sure you understand the problem, brianstorm some possible solutions, and figure out how your audience can effect those solutions. You should come up with three main points. First: what is the problem? Second: What is a solution? Third: Call to action (Why will this solution work?)

    After you have your three main points, you will write an introduction to your speech which will include an attention getter. An attention getter is a shocking statistic, quote, story, anecdote, or unusual statement that will get your audience's attention. You will then 'road-map' your speech.

    Good luck.
