Question

i need an attention getter for my informative speech on cancer?

Answer 1

it has to relate to my closing sentence also ( which i don't have ).

Answer 2

Well, you can always begin with an interesting fact, or quote.

Answer 3

@neonumbrella5115 like what? because on my first point i am talking about what cancer is, so i can't really begin with a quote that defines it. /:

Answer 4

Oh... You can use a surprising fact like how many people die of cancer every year. That would grab people's attention.

Answer 5

@neonumbrella5115 maybe like, "Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the US, with a total of 585,720 deaths in the last year, meaning about 1,604 deaths per day."

Answer 6

Then maybe even add a question like, "is it possible to make a difference in the number of deaths due to this disease?"


ugh i don't know :(

According to the ____________, statistic/fact/information.

Answer 8
