my experience to study speech
Everybody learns moral values from different experiences of his/her life. Here is an experience, which was a turning point to my life. My speech was a laughable to listeners when I was in my 9th grade year. Learning how to speak in front of a crowd was a most significant moment in my life because I learned basic skills like speaking, facing an audience, and memorizing sentences.
My English teacher paved the way for me to be a better speaker. It all started when she told me to speak some words about my achievements in school life in front of a crowd. I felt so nervous, and I said all the achievements the wrong way. When I moved in front of the crowd, my heart beat increased. My hands became sweaty. I felt so cold. I thought to say many good things about my teachers, but I spoke all the wrong things. I did not know what happened to me. My speech became laughable in the class. The teacher understood my problem. She told me about her first experience of speech in her class. In her first speech, she felt so nervous and cried in front of the crowd. It happened in her 7th grade year. Her experience relaxed me, but I was still feeling so depressed. My teacher came to me and sat with me. She taught me about thesis and writing techniques. She gave me a book to learn the basic skills of speech. I bought books to learn basic skills of speech. Every day, I spent some time reading the text books for speech. I watched many speeches on television and the Internet. From the speeches, I gained great knowledge about major issues facing society. One day I watched a speech by A.B.J. Abdul Khalam, the ex-president of India. The speech was about his dreams about a developed India. I felt patriotic when I watched the speech. I was inspired to be able to give a speech like him, so I practiced my speech by speaking in front of a mirror, and with time I became better. Research and practice helped me to speak better. With help from my mother, I studied the basic skills of facing an

    Spoken Language Study

    Spoken language and web-based communication have similarities and differences. Spoken conversation is when a person is talking to somebody directly (live event), either face to face or from a distance using a device of communication e.g. mobile phone. With spoken conversation, there may be overlaps as the person that you are talking to may interrupt you if they disagree on your conversation or would like to make their point heard. Also, when using spoken communication, the person may stutter, as it isn’t planned and because the person is thinking of what to say next whilst talking, they wouldn’t concentrate on what they are saying presently or how to start the next sentence. Fillers, which are utterances, are used to fill silence in between sentences (“um well”), and are only included in spoken conversation, not in web-based communications. An example of spoken conversation would be Skype because if you are on video calls, you can talk to someone face to face and see what they are doing, see the person’s reactions and get quick replies. Another example would simply be a phone conversation because you are talking to the person, at the time.…

    I used dread the discomfort that arose from public speaking and avoided every class presentation, which to my frustration, resulted in missing exciting opportunities. During my sophomore year of high school, I chose to take a speech class to embrace speaking opportunities instead of shying away from them. The first few days of class were nerve-racking, but steadily I gained more skill and confidence in my speaking abilities. Towards the close of sophomore year, I stepped into a leadership role, despite my previous anxieties. In a 100-student mock trial, I confidently presented the opening and closing statements for the defense.…

    Moral structure is developed as one matures. What one’s set of values consists of completely depends on the influences around him or her, not necessarily his or her age; a child could have more empathy than an older person, as an adult could be crueler than a child. As we grow, our deportment is deeply affected by the people around us. If in the right kind of environment, one can establish a rectified set of moral values in the process of growing up. In To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee demonstrates through characters of various background that maturation can lead one to develop just morals if he or she is exposed to the right type of environment.…

    It was my point of view on the death penalty, so naturally it was a touchy subject to begin with. The nature of the topic made it more difficult for me to execute (no pun intended) my speech. I walked up to the podium, fixed my papers, and started reading. The class was silent. It felt like I was reading for hours, but it took me only 10 minutes. At the end of the speech, my teacher asked for opinions and critiques. One boy said he agreed with my point of view. Another girl said, "I admired how passionate you were about what you were saying." That comment built up my non-existent confidence. It made me come to terms with my problem. I then made it my personal mission to find a solution to this problem, or maybe I was still stuck in my Geometry class from first period, who knows. We did more and more presentations, sometimes alone and sometimes with a partner. My public speaking teacher was also a Drama teacher, so she wanted to incorporate a little part of her Drama class. The assignment was to read a monologue and act it out. Now, public speaking was hard enough for me, but acting in front of people was on a whole different level. I managed to complete the monologue without having a panic attack, so that was a good sign. By the time the school year was over, I had gotten more confident in my presentations. I could talk in front of a class without resembling a tomato! Mission…

    Since Spanish was the only language I knew since it was the only language spoken in my household. I entered Elementary School insufficient in the English language and due to my hesitance to speak in class ; I was put into the Speech program. A program designed to teach children to pronounce, articulate, and enunciate words in the English language. I hated the unwanted attention my language barrier brought towards me. One day as I was called on to read a page from a short story named "Frog and Toad Are Friends" as I read ; I recall blushing in embarrassment due to my peer's ongoing laughter on how funny I pronounced the words. My body became tense my face burned more as time passed. When I felt like I couldn't take the humiliation any longer I stood up and walked out the class. My teacher soon followed after me and offered her time to listen to me vociferate my anger. After listening to my rant she smiled, patted my head and said. "I know it's hard but if you work hard you will graduate from the program and perhaps be better than your peers." This statement motivated me to be the best student possible. I practiced daily my handwritten phonics flashcards, read various books to augment my vocabulary, and practiced on my own my presentation/ social skills. By the end of the year, I flourished demolishing my timidness. I began participating regularly in class, had one of if not…

    This is not to be confused with having a know-it-all type of persona, but rather a willingness to grow and learn from life experiences/observations. It also shows a sense of professionalism if you learn from yours and others’ mistakes because it shows that you’re not only resilient, but you also pay attention to your surroundings. A moral value that is sometimes my downfall is compassion, only because I don’t have the right balance of detachment to go along with it. I sympathize so deeply for others to the point where it hurts me psychologically to let go, until I feel like they are completely satisfied or better in some way. Otherwise, it is a great value to have because it makes me aware of how grateful I should be and it fuels my efforts in offering services to others in…

    Last year when I had to deliver my speech in front of the class I found myself quivering since I didn’t know how to deliver the speech. After seeing multiple speeches here in class like Obama’s speeches and Bush’s as well. We didn’t only watch them but break down their strategies, emotions and what their organization was to get to the point of the speech. When it came down to writing the speech it wasn’t a problem, it didn’t only help me in your class but also helped me deliver my speech for other classes like spanish and history.…
