The speaker should keep the following principles of conduct in mind if he wants to successfully convey his message: 1. Thorough and substantial intellectual education. 2. Inform the listeners clearly and convincingly about the aim of his monologue. 3. Make his utterance coherent and logically cohesive. 4. Speak correet Polish. 5. Be communicative. 6. Use voice inflection and reasonable gesticulation. 7. Remember about the essential threads (duly stress the most important points of the monologue). 8. Do not evade emotional involvement. 9. Be convincing and credible (harmony between words and conduct, live up to the word). 10. Have a continuous inner dialogue with the listener. 11. Make the listeners think (Christ and His parables). 12. Use visual aids. 13. Provide examples (verba docent - egzempla trachunt). 14. Use linking words, i.e. prepositions and conjunctions which emphasize logical relations and interdependencies in the utterance (“why”, “because”, “in order to”, “if...”, “therefore”).
