You are giving a speech on study abroad programs. in your introduction, you first tell the audience a story about the summer you spent in paris. then you summarize your main points and indicate the benefits of study abroad programs. the introduction on your outline is one page long. the rest of your speech is four pages long. which of the following is true? a. your introduction is missing key elements. b. your introduction is too short. c. your introduction is too long d. your introduction is not organized correctly. e. you introduction does not have an effective attention-grabber.

Using an anecdote is the most effective way of grabbing the audience attention, so the introduction has an effective "hook", but that's what they are intended to be (attention getters), once you captivate the audience is time to move to the point, they generally should be reduced to the first 1 to 4 sentences, or may be 5 sentences of the speech as an introduction, just to intrigue the audience; so if the introduction consist of 1 of 5 pages out of the whole speech, then it's probably too long, with the risk of turning the audience against the speaker, (unless is 1 page with giant font-size).
