your oral communication skills by learning the types of speeches you can use in creating meaningful
tasks.

What’s In
In your journey toward elevating your oral communication skill, you have previously learned
in Module 5 that communication can take place in different speech contexts (intrapersonal,
interpersonal, public, and mass). Moreover, you were given ideas on how you should speak when put
in a specific speech context. As you move on to your next adventure, Module 6 Lesson 1 will prepare
you to be an effective public speaker. This exciting lesson will tackle the different purposes and
methods of delivering a speech.
 What’s New
Speech
It is human nature to express thoughts and emotions. Thus, many speeches or forms of
communication in spoken language made by a speaker before an audience have been created.
Speeches are more formal than talking or usual conversations. They are primarily delivered to leave
a remarkable message.

Types of Speeches
In the word puzzle on the next page are seven (7) words that refer to jobs which commonly
require delivering speeches. Try to look for them as fast as you can to lead you to the types of
speeches. There are three (3) words that are arranged vertically and there are four (4) words that
are arranged horizontally. Write your answers on a separate sheet of paper.
