Speech about Omaha City in Nebraska, USA
Specific Purpose: After my speech, the audience will know how to make a trip to Omaha City in Nebraska more interesting.
Intended Audience:
Introduction
- Attention Getting Device: "All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveller is unaware, (Hobo Traveler)" even in the City of Omaha in the State of Nebraska. Most people come to Omaha for its many sports events to experience the rush, the excitement, and energy of cheering and jeering fans in one of its large stadiums. Nevertheless, not everyone would stay longer to go around and get a feel of the city, which boasts other great experiences that could create lasting memories.
- Orientation Phase:
- Point: If you are planning to go to Omaha for some baseball or football excitement, listen closely, as I will share some insights to make that trip more interesting—a traveller’s experience.
- Adaptation: Most of us would go to the City for its many sports events, as it is what it’s well-known for. However, it would be a lot better if travellers, even sports fanatics, took the time to experience Omaha in its many different facets other than sports.
- Credibility: When going to one place, the only justice you can give to the time and effort of going there is to experience it in its entirety, not only on one aspect. As Mark Twain once said, "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. (Hobo Traveler)"
- Enumerated Preview: This short guide highlights two other things to experience in Omaha City—the food and places to visit.
Transition: Of course, the best place to start is to know where to fill that hungry tummy.
