What are you going to take from this class that will be helpful to you in future endeavors?
I have learned so much from this class. I still am not the best at public speaking, but now I know the secret weapon to make my speech very interesting and how to reach the goal of my speech. This class has taught me to confident in my speaking ability, and as long as I share with something what I think, I should not worry what others think. I am still nervous before every speech but I feel so much more comfortable now, because I obtained different skills to attract attention of the audience and I really happy to realize that I have all knowledge for my next speeches. I will definitely keep my public speaking book at home as my direction and instruction for preparation my future speeches, because I understand that I have to review this wonderful book again and again and sharp my skills. I think that this class was only the beginning of our education in this area and it's a good base for continuing developing our ability and quality of speaking. The book was really easy to read, and it was full of a lot of useful information. This class was my first class in the Sierra College, and it has made me so much more confident in my speaking abilities. The teacher was awesome and she helped me to see my weaknesses, and I will work on my time during the speech.
I am glad to hear that this was your first class at Sierra College and that you took away so many positive things from it. It is good that it has helped you to be more confident in public speaking situations. Given your new found skills and perspective you should be able to approach future public speaking opportunities with a positive attitude. Certainly your new base of skills will help you in future classes, considering how common it is to have to give presentations and otherwise participate within the classroom setting. It has been great having the opportunity to hear you speak and I wish you luck in the future.
ReplyDeleteI was reading your post and your last comment reminded me of something very important. It was the comment about time management. I had forgotten in my post to mention that. You're right, time amnagemnt in a speech was one of the main things I learned. It was not until the end (my last 2 speeches) that I was able to get a handle on it. I would become so preoccupied with wanting to get all the content of the speech out that I totally would get carried away during the speech, go off script a little tangent and go way over on time. The time thing is what really took me a long time to nail down. Thanks for the reminder!
