First of all English two class is about speech, so basically the biggest challenge in our class is walking to the front of the class and give a speech. Well most of us have anxieties therefore it is difficult to give a speech upfront. This is a sign of speech apprehension, it is whereby a person feels unease,nervous,sweating,shaking,butterflies moving in your stomach and many more. I also felt all of this eerie feeling, so what I do is I make hand gestures when I am explain something, sometimes i walk around in front when the situation is really intense, and the top secret is... !!!
This is not my idea, I just learned this when I was a first year college. Once upon a time... We had a group presentation and I told my senior groupmate that I was really really nervous, so he told me to put a coin(one coin only) in my shoe, he said that it may help you to calm down, so I did what he told me and yes it did helped me out a little bit. But the perfect strategy to avoid speech apprehension is to be Always prepared!
Overall my English Language is still weak (forgive me for that). I am always lack of confidence specially when It comes to Individual speech or any kind of presentation. I also have the bad habit of looking EVERYWHERE. These are the things that i want to improve. Lastly I also want to learn more techniques and styles on how to do a splendid speech.
thanks thanks
A coin in your shoe, eh? Interesting, I have to try that some time.
