1705134037
1705134038 As can be seen from the outline above, the actual Prime Minister speech has a few features not mentioned before. For instance, this speech, and all other speeches in the debate should begin with an introduction. One of the main purposes of the introduction is to establish the credibility and competence of the speaker. In most cases, the debater is speaking to a judge or audience who is unfamiliar with the debater and, thus, does not have much information about him or her. By beginning with a strong introduction, the debater can communicate an image of competence. Because first impressions are frequently long-lasting impressions, making a good first impression in the beginning of the speech is important. The introduction can be short, lasting ordinarily no more than 30 seconds.
1705134039
1705134040 After the introduction, the debater will ordinarily state the motion for debate, and then will present the First Government Team’s definitions and interpretations of that motion. As stated earlier, the definitions and interpretations are important because they set the stage for the rest of the debate. As important as this part of the speech is, it can be accomplished quite well in a short period of time, usually 30 seconds to 1 minute.
1705134041
1705134042 Before actually getting to the case, the Prime Minister will ordinarily offer a statement of advocacy and preview of his or her speech in terms of naming the arguments to be presented. Following the preview, the debater will present an advocacy statement to clarify the approach that the First Government is taking so that everyone will be clear about the focus of the debate. The purpose of the advocacy statement and preview is to set the arguments clearly in the mind of the judge so the judge will recognize the arguments when they are presented. Presentation of the preview and advocacy statement takes very little time, no more than 30 seconds.

1705134044 The previous example was a typical outline of a Prime Minister speech on a motion of value. A Prime Minister speech on a policy motion contains similar categories but has some subtle differences. An outline of a speech on a motion of policy is included below:

1705134051 Motion for debate: “The United Nations should adopt a Declaration of the Rights of Great Apes.”
1705134052
1705134053 Definition and interpretation: “Great Apes” are defined as chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas, and orangutans.

1705134054
1705134055 The Government interprets this motion to mean that the UN should adopt a declaration stating that all Great Apes have the right to life, liberty, and protection from torture.
1705134056
1705134057 Statement of advocacy: The Government model of this motion is as follows: 1) the actor is the United Nations, 2) the action proposed is a Declaration of the Rights of Great Apes stating that all Great Apes have the right to life, liberty, and protection from torture, 3) the action should be enforced by UN peace keepers to the extent enforcement is needed.
