conflicting rights of non-English speaking people be taken away because of an English-only law? I think non-English speaking people have the right to speak their homeland language in public events and as part of their social lives.

strengths, and how I plan to work on my weaknesses for the upcoming group presentation. I will start off by describing some of my public speaking strengths that I noticed. To my surprise, one of my biggest strengths was making eye contact instead of reading off of the slides. In previous experiences, I have had a tendency to read straight from slides instead of speaking to the audience. I can accredit this to the time I put into preparing for the speech, allowing me to feel more comfortable when delivering

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
I signed up for Public Speaking because I always felt anxious to deliver a presentation. Before the class, I set out three goals I that wanted to accomplish by the end of the class. The first goal was to get comfortable with public speaking. I did not know much about how to make a convincing presentation, so delivering public speeches is a skill that I lacked and felt distressing about. My second goal was to overcome public speaking anxiety. As an introvert, I get an anxious feeling when surrounded

I think that standing behind the podium during the eulogy helped me to be able to control my movements more. Looking at my impromptu speeches I still have a lot of movement and hand gestures all the time and they seem to get in the way when I’m speaking. One thing about my delivery that I hadn’t noticed before was that I talk very fast. My peer evaluation from the eulogy said that I talked very fast, but articulated well. I still need to work on body movements, but also my speed. I can work
absolutely did not want to take it and was considering not taking it in high school and wishing that I would never have to take it. My fears for COMM 101 was being judged. I am not really one to care about what people think about me, but something about public speaking gives me a fear that people will judge me if I stutter or not be able to complete a speech. I just wanted to do my best in this class and just breeze through this class and get it over with. Getting up in front of the class for my first
Paper – Public Speaking One of the biggest fears for American people is public speaking. People fear this more than heights and spiders. Yet, public speaking is required as a professional adult.

Conveying a message through the use of public speaking goes far beyond the words you say. When presenting a speech, there is much that goes into it, and more to truly get your message into the minds of the listeners. Every great speech consists of several key elements that are used to support and back up the words that are spoken. In 2011, Pamela Meyer presented her speech, “How to Spot a Liar,” as a TED Talks.
