Informative speech topics about health help people achieve a healthier lifestyle and can give them added information about kicking bad habits. Speech topics about eating a healthier diet, creating an exercise program, selecting a gym or choosing a weight-loss program can all help people in their struggle to lose weight or become fit. Health topics also include health care itself, like choosing a doctor, hospital or health-care plan, as well as looking for alternative medications, how to quit smoking and warning signs of a particular type of cancer or disease. Health topics work for many audiences because health issues affect everyone at one time or another. Also, refrain from using "doctor-speak," as in complicated medical terms that people might not understand.
Education topics work on just about every level, from grade school, to college, to graduate school. Topics about what to do with a problem teacher, how to make a healthy lunch for a child, instilling good homework habits and how to keep students involved in more than one activity all reflect issues on the grade school level. Topics for audiences dealing with college students consist of speeches about financing college, living with a difficult roommate, building a résumé, getting ready for an internship, time management and choosing the right major. Speakers talking to those on the graduate level can address topics about looking for a job, preparing for entrance exams, paying for school, choosing the right program and applying for fellowships.
Speeches about tourism contain more than information about destinations; however, speeches about traveling to foreign countries, tropical islands and amusement parks appeal to many people. Travel topics can also include choosing the right travel agent, booking a trip online, great all-inclusive resorts, saving money while taking an expensive trip and making the most out of any vacation. For those looking to travel close to home, speech topics about traveling to local destinations on one tank of gas or lesser-known historical sites also work. Theme topics also draw interest in specific areas like trips geared to hikers, backpackers, skiers or people who like to fish.
Speech topics about technology cover the latest craze in gadgets and the latest products to hit the market, as well as other consumer issues like choosing the best computer or where to get the best deals. Speakers also can address informational topics like how to choose the best cell phone plan or how to block websites for children. When using gadgets or electronic devices during a speech, make sure the speaker practices with the product to make sure it works and can answer questions even if they don't address the particular subject. If not using specific technology, an informational speech about the evolution of computers, cell phones and how technology changed businesses, health care and education also works, depending on the audience.
