in an argumentative speech, which kind of the following information carries the most value?

how to make a speech with cloudy structure clearer? b. intentionally make the between ideas explicit when drawing the mental structure map
in interpreting, what skills can we use to remember more?
what makes an effective chunking?
instead of taking lots of notes, interpreters listen and process the information with full concentration, and at the same time remember the message.
to solve the “lack of clue failure”, interpreters can deliberately set retrieval for each chunk.
what are the distinctive features of notes in consecutive interpreting?
what can be noted down as retrieval cues in interpreting?
it is suggested that we take notes in a layout.
in interpreting, notes reflect our ysis and understanding of the speech. therefore, after thorough thinking, the key words we note down may better represent the ideas and activate our memory.
the “completeness of information” in interpreting notes means the full information structure of a given speech segment, including the topic and points of view of the speaker, the complete logic of narration or reasoning, and sufficient supporting details or illustration.
