In some colleges and universities after submitting your term papers you have to present them orally. You are expected to make public speeches and to capture the attention of your exacting professors. How to avoid such comment from their side? And instead impress them with your speaking and be proud of yourself? Why can’t we learn from the most prominent orators and their secrets of success?
”I noticed only three flaws in it. First, you were reading. Second, you were not reading very well. And third, that sermon was not worth reading at all!” We can only imagine how the priest reacted to such words. But I don’t think he was pleased. In some colleges and universities after submitting your term papers you have to present them orally.
You are expected to make public speeches and to capture the attention of your exacting professors. How to avoid such comment from their side? And instead impress them with your speaking and be proud of yourself? They say, that if you steal one idea it is plagiarism and if a lot of then it is education. Why can’t we learn from the most prominent orators and their secrets of success? Let’s do it right now.
No long speeches!!! You can make a speech longer than 20 minutes, but remember you are not paid for it.
Never say ”In conclusion”, “And the last thing I would like to tell you“ if you have more than a minute before the actual end. Your listeners will be bored to death, when after these words you continue speaking for another 15 minutes. Maneuvering! Without some maneuvers your speech will be insipid like meat without salt. Expression
Your speech is your way of giving a part of you to people. Expression may be considered as inner speech. Be emotional and people will listen to you with interest. Humor (not at colleges/ universities) If you are not making your speech on your college term paper, say something funny and something humorous at the beginning of the speech.
If people smile at you, they are yours. Humor is some kind of emotional argument, which people accept with pleasure. Practice makes perfect. If you are at the football ground for the first time, you are hardly to become a leading player. Don’t miss a single opportunity to make speeches in public.
Pausing.
Maugham said, that if you took a pause, make it a long one. Scientists determined that being silent (not shouting) serves as an attention grabber. Your pauses will give a listener ability to think about your words. Don’t panic. You must not make excuses like:
• You had too little time for preparation
• See the microphone for the first time
• You are worried and so on.
It has a negative effect on the emotional atmosphere among the audience. And then it will be more difficult and confusing for you to go on speaking.
It is better to joke and if you stumbled, that is all right.
Make a pause and then go ahead.
Let your silence be thoughtful: You will impress everyone, if after a reflecting pause; you will continue your speech with more energy. Contrasts always capture attention.
Teacher’s Ethics
Considering the fact that students spend a great part of their life at school, one may come to conclusion that schools contribute significantly into overall ‘quality’ of life of students. No wonder that personality of a teacher is of crucial importance; moreover, some teachers turn into extremely important people for the whole life due to the impact they make while teaching us. It is good if this impact is positive and brings motivation for students, however, it sometimes happens that teachers manage to spoil not only mood of a student but intrude into internal world, leaving unpleasant vestige there.
What is the Main Function Schools Performs?
Studying at school is remarkable in several ways. For a lot of people a school becomes the first place where they get basics of education and, what is very much important, schools provide children with socialization. Actually, a child spends a lot of time at school, receiving not only knowledge but communication options as well. Indeed, nowadays schools perform social role to a very large extent and this social function is gradually taking the first place, putting educational function to the second place.
How to Find Motivation for Oneself?
There is hardly a person who would perform a great work without some special impetus, some incentive, and some strong motivation to do that. Of course, we frequently have to do things we do not enjoy doing; we all have some obligations and duties. Furthermore, a lot of people work and do things that irritate and frustrate them, and it is all really sad, because a person does not get pleasure and the same work could be done in a better way…
