This task is the calculation reflects my presentation, for the purpose of this task I will review the entire presentation by during and before I had made, under this meditation will go to make a different phase. Including a description of a few of my chosen topics, any kind of material I have used for the transfer of this offer , and the way I applied sudden efforts as well as the experience, knowledge and feedback gained throughout the presentation. My conclusion, I will consider any plan of action which I need to improve my skills in speaking in front of a large audience or any offer in the future.
When I first decided to take Somalia as a theme of my presentation I was very excited to do. Because most of the students in my class, they did not have any idea about Somalia . This was a good opportunity to give an idea of Somali, such as language and history.
I started to organize my presentation before two weeks of my presentation deadline. Personally I had more information about the topic but I always worried how things will become so that I focused to do more research. During research of my presentation the most pieces that I needed were the languages that Somalian dialect is related because I did not have any previous ideas about it. I always looked to find a reliable website where I could get a trustful information thus most English websites has not been providing enough information whether they wrote short description or I got information that I already knew it.
Afterwards I had changed direction of my research and used my own language. Frankly, I found plenty information that I needed as well as they provided links of very informative websites where I learnt lots of new historical information about the close relatio...

...ormal thus, I prevented to engage any kind of grandiloquent. In minutes, everything becomes impropriety and things go differently than I thought before. Another surprisingly I found during the presentation, that I need to discuss the issues in greater depth , rather than normal so this was the biggest impact of my plan , and it is a most pragmatic experience I learned throughout the presentation.
I generally got positive feedback from all the students , and they all loved my presentation , as well as a part of them told me that they have learned a lot of Somalia and the way I put images in the slides was very palpable and attractive consequently this was great news for me. Therefore, I will be aware of my next presentation to take care the planing of the information that do I need to talk because I learned that choosing the best is not a lot of information.

    The speaker organized the presentation very well and made it easy to follow for the audience. She chose words that got the message across clearly and were not difficult to understand. Since this was targeted at a younger audience, she simplified the concepts and was very specific. The sentences of the speech were structured appropriately, and had no grammatical errors. She also included some transitions in between, especially when moving from one idea to the next which made the flow

    One of the presentations that I enjoyed the most was Pruva’s presentation on the misconceptions of arranged marriages. Before the presentation I had a negative view on arranged marriages but through the presentation I learned why it is not as bad as people think. The people being set up do not mind it, and 65 percent of Indian students believe that parents should have the final say or their marriage. There was also a study done proving that there is not a difference in happiness levels between arranged marriages verses love marriages. However, there is one thing she should of elaborated on; the definition of arranged marriages. She said arranged marriages are when a third party is involved. This was a little confusing because I am unsure if this means things like friends setting up people count, or if something like online dating websites would count. Though, overall it was a very good and informative presentation. Another presentation I enjoyed was the presentation on the age gap in relationships. I always thought an age gap was around five years or more but really it starts at about ten years. In this presentation I learned that society can make the relationships hard and even cause people to break up. Though, these people are really in love and it is not fair to them for society to negatively judge them. I also liked that she had been in an age gap relationship before so she could understand the emotions better. These presentations make the overall class experience

    Ultimately, in a presentation an audience is the decision maker. If you cannot persuade the audience to move from Point A to Point B, then you are unsuccessful in your presentation. For a person to know his or her audience, he or she would have to find out how to bring the audience into equal focus with him or her. A person has to view his or her presentation, business, story, etc. from the eyes of the audience. Presentations should focus on what this can do for the audience, what are the benefits for the audience, is his or her message clear, and is it straight to the point. Understand who the audience is, and know what he or she is expecting from the presenter. When presenting there are seven opening gambits that can capture the attention of the audience immediately. The seven opening gambits are: “question, factoid, retrospective/prospective, anecdote, quotation, aphorism, and analogy” (p.70). Using a question to start a presentation involves the audience, and allows the audience to find out how the presentation applies to them. A factoid is a statistic or a fact that will connect with the audience. A lot of the time a factoid is a striking statistic or fact that will cause the audience to connect with the presentation. Next is retrospective/prospective, which is basically “that was then; this is now” (p.72). This gambit brings the audience in one direction, and then draws them to another direction. The fourth

  • Reflection On Public Speaking

    Public speaking is a topic that most people dread. The anxious feeling of getting in front of people and presenting is avoided by many people at all costs. Although public speaking has a bad reputation, when done right, it can be a very valuable skill to have. Recently, I attended a presentation that was given by Ann Walker, a member of the National Alliance for Mental Health (NAMI). This presentation was focused on making more people aware about mental illnesses and the effects of them, which was using the method of an Informative Speech. As said in it’s name, the purpose of this kind of presentation is to “Increase your audience’s knowledge of a particular topic or teach them something new” (Hosek & Crawford, 2016, p. 74), which is stated in our student guidebook. It was held in a very casual setting, consisting of a college classroom holding about 50 seats. Before Walker started presenting her speech, she asked the audience what most of us were majoring in.

    The presentation was also an impressive experience. I never made a presentation in front of “foreigners” in English before, so I was very nervous, however, the feedback from professor and other students was very important. I used the form, short story, but after the presentation, professor told me that I cannot use short story as form and some students suggested me to use an advertisement to convey my message. My project’s goal was also kind of ambiguous.

    In life, we rarely have the chance for a do-over, but I feel like returning to college is mine. Throughout high school, my grades were never above average and until about a couple of years ago I considered myself to be unintelligent. What I failed to see was my level of commitment. Once I began applying myself, the grades earned reflected that. This concept coincides to my public speaking ability. Many students, including myself, walk into a speech class thinking that it will be the Easy A of the semester and quite frankly I devoted a good amount of time and hard work to earn my A’s and B’s for this course. Overall, my public speaking growth in terms of listenability were influenced by the following: the strategy keys in correctly engaging the audience; the structure keys appropriate for a speech versus a paper; the support keys by continually engaging the audience; and finally the style keys by practicing the use of body language and reducing the verbal junk.

    Making a successful public presentation or speech to an audience was a very big task for me before I joined the public speaking class. I was always frightened and very nervous. Since then I now understand the process of making a speech or a presentation including coming up with a topic and from this topic develop the main points of the speech, research, organize my points, revise them, edit and make a magnificent presentation to any audience. People in the audience might sometimes agree or disagree with my opinion or points, it was therefore necessary to communicate my information clearly to the audience without making any judgments since every person was entitled to a different opinion and views about things.

    I could have tried to make ti so that when I was done I could have tied the whole analogy together and made it connect to all the skills that I said I have improved on. For showing my progress as a learner I think the way that I presented was one of the main things that showed some of my progress making it so that you could actually here me when I was giving my presentation which is something that has always been a problem when I have to talk in front of people. I also think that even though at the end of my presentation I didn’t obviously say my over all opinion about how I have improved I thought my evidence that I had given through out the presentation worked well with the points that I was trying to say I improved on. Along with making sure that what I was comparing it to was very specific so that people didn’t start to think of another part of the project that I was using that I might to have improved on confusing them. Over all I think that my POL compared to others was not to bad. I think for sure that I did better then last year because of how I presented this time
