Questionnaire “Your level of oratory”. Round 2.

The semester is almost over and the Speaking Course as well. This time we were to go through the questionnaire again and to see how did the results change. As the result I have the number 70, which is higher than my previous result. I can't tell that I feel less stressed before the speech, but yet I feel more confident in what and I am talking. I gained new knowledge which I find useful and I hope I'll complete my final speech the best way.

No one will guess what you want or what you think if you don’t tell them, and nothing is going to change if you do not propose a change. The purpose of my speech is to discuss three important skills that will help you communicate effectively. Such skills are not to be afraid of speaking, express exactly what you mean to say, and listen while you are not speaking.      The first aspect to communicate effectively is not to be afraid of speaking. Anytime you need to say something, go ahead and do it. Most of the times people are afraid of speaking because they are not sure if it is the right thing to say or the right moment to say it.
