We should select the main idea for the message
firstly. Then we should include the information which
supports our main idea.

it in proper form as we have to present in front of the
audience and after that write the draft. This include the
following:
Introduction
Body
Summary or Conclusion

only possible if we make rehearsals many times and
revise important points
