SPEECH DRAFT 2

lesson 3 topic

I have interest in communication and its importance in the society including formal and informal interactions. Consequently, my research topics include phone communication, written communication, the importance of words in communication and communication in a dating relationship. I will take communication in a dating relationship because my audience includes people in the age of dating. I will focus on the important components of communication when dating including timeliness, media, and tone. The general purpose of the speech is to inform fellow youths on communication strategies that will make dating effective. I will specifically focus on the choice of time when one should communicate with his/her date during the day. Consequently, my thesis statement will be, ‘timeliness of communication during dating’.

lesson 4 topic

Timely communication in Romantic Relationships

Have you been in a number of relationships that failed? Think of all those ladies or men that you have frustrated in your life by promising them a great future together, only for you to fall out with them due to your own failure. This is frustrating especially when you consider yourself a social glue like myself who people want to identify with and have a bunch of friends. Openness and honesty, expressed in communication, is a part of a healthy relationship. ‘communication is the key.’ However, I can tell from self-experience that this is one of those great theories whose uses irrelevant without context or application in a real world. What aspect of communication is key; is it language, time, honesty, being funny or which area. While I have figured that I have the best communication skills around my peers, I have been in multiple failed relationships whose failure was due to my bad. That’s how I realized that timely communication is key to the success of a relationship.

Timely communication means ensuring that communication does not just happen in an offhand manner. Instead, one should find some time to when the partner is calm undistracted, relaxed and not in a rush to talk to them. Timely communication also means discussing an issue within agreeable time limits. Although one does not have to talk about an issue right away, they should consider bringing it up within 2 days. Timeliness in communication also includes having a regular time when one bond with their partner. It is necessary to take at least 30 minutes a day to hang out and talk with the partner.
