Internal summaries, in contrast to internal previews, review the key points a speaker just made. Examples of internal previews include statements like "there are a couple of points I would like to make here," "there is both a problem and a solution to propose," or "there are several items to note in this section." Each of these statements might be followed by more detailed, though brief, explanations of what is to come in the speech. Internal previews cue the audience to listen for the key elements within major points. While the preview in the introduction discloses to the audience the general points to be made in the speech, the internal preview outlines the critical points to be made within the body of the speech.
Internal previews are more detailed then simple transitional phrases, but serve a similar function. The use of transitional phrases marks a real difference from much written material-orally delivered speeches often have more of these transitional phrases. Examples of these transitions include "also," "as well as," "in addition to," "for example," "which raises another interesting point," "the next point I would like to make," "perhaps you are not yet convinced," etc. Transitional phrases signal the conclusion, or perhaps addition to, an idea. Many tools for transitions allow a speaker to reiterate the central ideas they are trying to express. A speech without transitions often seems choppy, and can even seem unorganized.
