Public speaking
The module started with us watching videos of other famous speeches in history and taking down notes on key elements that make a good speech,such as triadic structure and repetition.We then looked at how a speech is presented correctly using hand gestures and speaking clearly,the next part was to plan and prepare our own speeches about any topic that interests us. The topic I chose for my public speaking exam was the environment and the effects it has on our lives,I picked this topic because I found this subject still relevant and debated heavily about today.
Using the techniques I learnt from the classes, I made my speech and presented it to the examiner at the end of the module.The examiner was interested in the facts and points from my speech. I was very happy with my overall mark in the exam.
I believe the public speaking dramatically helped my ability to stand up in front of an audience and clearly speak my points, I also have more confidence in doing so.
