Do not bore your audience by delivering the same message. Do not repeat the sentences that you are using. Try to understand the logic in your speech before your start to speak. Use appropriate language to suit your audience, i.e. if your audience are children below 10 then you may include small jokes and wits. If you are talking to your colleagues then you may use more technical terms.
