HW of the strenth and weakness

49582041王中綾 Julia My Strengths and Weaknesses of Public Speech Strength A. Eye contact When delivering a public speech, some people will be too shame or too nervous to face to their audience. In fact, I am that kind of person who has stage fright too. However, in order not to make my audience senses the horribly tension inside my mind, I will make eye contact to tell them "yeah, I am talking to you". Also, I think that seeing the concentrative faces will gain me courage to speak out loud. B. Gesture When it comes to the speech which needs some movements, I am able to speak through my body language or even the eye contact. Doing some gestures helps me a lot. Doing so, I can understand what subject I am talking at this moment, and then I can have a clear picture to make the speech going step by step in mind. C. Imagination To smooth my nervousness, I will image myself talking on the stage and imitate giving a speech. Then I can get the picture, seeing how I should act, with what kind of attitude should I maintain, and then adjusting the speech to be relating to the topic. Weakness A .Nervousness I always do my best not to expose my nervousness to the audience. But every time I getting on stage, it feels like there are butterflies in my stomach. It just shows up when I utter the first sentence. Nervousness causes different shortages in my public speeches which I list them in this category. a. Subconsciously gesture To make me feel easy, I will automatically produce some small movements during speeches. b. Interruption The nervousness reduces my confidence and interferes in the whole delivering process . 1. Wrong pronunciation 2. Hesitate to use long terms B. Wrong verbal form When giving a speech, I often drop the ending morpheme sound. It does not mean I misunderstand the tenses. I have to try to adjust the speaking speed. Conclusion It is a difficult task for me giving public speech in the past. While, after taking a few speaking classes, I realized that calmly talking to the audience on stage was merely essential, and was not sufficient to become a good speaker. I learn that a good speaker should possess the abilities of showing his/her power and passion; the basic and essential technique is give a clear and organized concept through speeches instead of doing chitchat.
