To help your audience, you need to state your purpose clearly and provide the outline of sections.
Use appropriate signposting language and transitional marks such as 'to begin with', 'let's move on to the next point', etc.

Your argument should be supported by evidence such as statistics and examples.
Have a proper opening e.g. addressing your audience, introducing yourself.
Have a proper closing e.g. 'that's all', 'thank you', etc.
Wrap up on preparing your speech
Check your pronunciation by visiting reliable online dictionaries e.g. Collins Dictionary, Dictionary.com, etc.
Short pauses and repetition are helpful.
Rehearse and sound as if you were making a speech by referring to cue cards.
