Simply put, are topic sentences needed in speeches? Obviously topics must be introduced, but, thats where my 2 questions come from:
1) For speeches, are text-specific topic sentences more appropriate then general ones? With general ones there usually is a need to explain more after it, and in a speech you really need to get the best use out of your time... I'm just wondering to go with all specifics...
2) Can the ending statement of the previous paragraph be combined with the topic sentence of the next? For example, "Apart from issue A, the author also implies that Issue B has its consequences." This would get a better flow on effect, which is also an important aspect of a speech, right?
