Explanation:

In speeches, an outline is a strategy used to organize the contents that the speaker wants to include. Outlines are part of tasks developed to prepare a speech and imply organizing the content of the speech according to the main points and the sub-ideas or evidence in each of them.

Due to this, speakers usually write first the main idea or thesis statement, then include ideas for the introduction, after they add the main supporting ideas, then sub-points and specific details based on short but clear statements and finally include ideas for the conclusion as well as transitions that make all the statement be connected and create a complete guide for the speech. Therefore, the last step in a speech outline is usually to develop transitions and conclusions.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
