An interview is a communication between two parties where one acquires information from the other. There are two main types: information giving, like training, and information gathering, like surveys. When selecting an interviewee, the most important criteria are their level of information, availability, willingness, and ability. To conduct a campus interview, one must determine the purpose, decide who to interview, prepare questions, and perform the interview. When writing a speech, information should be logically organized through inductive, deductive, spatial, chronological, or linear order to maintain a clear theme and structure.

7. LOGICAL ORGANIZATION IN
SPEECH WRITING

8. FOLLOWING ARE THE POINTS THOSE SHOULD BE KEPT
IN ORGANIZING INFORMATION FOR SPEECH WRITING:
•The logical order should be chosen in
accordance with the nature of the subject.
•Single idea/theme should be maintained in
one paragraph.
•Every paragraph should have a topic
sentence.

9. 5 BASIC PATTERNS OF LOGICALLY ORGANIZING INFORMATION:
INDUCTIVE ORDER
• Specific to general
• Objective and scientific
• More convincing
Example: "I get tired if I don't drink coffee. Coffee is
addictive. I'm addicted to coffee."

10. 5 BASIC PATTERNS OF LOGICALLY ORGANIZING INFORMATION:
DEDUCTIVE ORDER
• General to specific
• The generalization helps the reader/listener understand
the details
• Clarity about the theme
Example: ‘’All dogs have four legs, John's pet is a dog,
therefore John's pet has four legs.’’

11. 5 BASIC PATTERNS OF LOGICALLY ORGANIZING INFORMATION:
SPATIAL ORDER
• Data arrange in space
• Easy to comprehend
• Simplifies a difficult subject
Example: “In this area, you will see first the cabinet.
Afterwards, you will see the lamp and the sofa bed”

12. 5 BASIC PATTERNS OF LOGICALLY ORGANIZING INFORMATION:
CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER
• Record of events in the order in which they occur in time
• Presents a clear and logical picture
Example: “The space age began on October 4, 1957 when
the Russians launched the Sputnik I into the orbit.”

13. 5 BASIC PATTERNS OF LOGICALLY ORGANIZING INFORMATION:
LINEAR ORDER
• Systematic order as a line
• Leads to highlight topic sentence in an organized manner
• One idea leads to another in a natural way.
Example: “Moreover, the performance ended by a big
applause from the audience.”
