Public Speaking

Public speaking can be both interesting and challenging. It benefits a lot to the speaker. First, you can have a better understanding of the topic you’re going to state. It helps you think systematically and critically. As we know, it’s important to guide students to think and to analyze. Public speaking skills and related listening skills provide valuable tools for the critical analysis of ideas. By studying the use of supportive materials and persuasive strategies, you’ll learn how to find an argument’s weak points and learn to ask questions, which needs great critical thinking. Secondly, during the preparation for the speech, you can practice the ability to organize a paper. The ability to organize the ideas you want to say is a skill you will employ before you ever write a speech. As you practice, you will also discover that the skills of outlining, planning, organizing and presenting your ideas logically are of great importance to your speech. Thirdly, you must have a good preparation for the speech. That means you have to search various kinds of materials to support your viewpoints and during which you can practice your ability to do professional research. You should go to the library or search the Internet to get the information you need, and then organize all the materials logically and express yourself clearly. Through all these efforts, you can make yourself understood and accepted by the audiences.
