Clear speech organisation will:

Make the content look organised and easy to discern.

Help the researcher stay concise.

Step 1: Analyze your audience

Step 2: Select a relevant topic

Step 3: Define the objective of your thesis and prepare your content accordingly.

Step 4: Prepare the body of the presentation

Step 5: Write a concise and sensible the introduction and conclusion

Step 6: Practice delivery

Step 7: List the main imperative of the presentation

Step 8: Find a pattern and link the important points

Step 9: Research the details and develop each important point

Step 10: Categorise the points and deliver them by groups/ stages

Step 11: Define the issues well enough for the audience to understand

Step 12: Examples, Facts and Testimonies/ Case studies should be included to aid understanding of the topic

The topic is the main subject of research. The specific purpose is the direction through which you will navigate the subject or topic, the general purpose is what knowledge you want to add to the subject with your research paper and the transition is how you will connect your paper to the existing subject.
