do impossible things is back from Cambridge which was awesome!

get over my fear of public speaking (read all 11 entries…)

Worth doing!

English Orals:  — 1 year ago

I’ve got my english orals next week =( I am petrified!!! I have to plan a small talk on ‘water shortage’, lasting 2-3 minutes, and i can’t read it off a piece of paper – i’ll have to be completely spontateous!! This is the criteria:

1. Speak clearly
2. Make eye contact
3. Fluency
4. Interesting the audience
5. Well structured: clear beginning, middle and end
6. Standard english

How the fuck can i make my class interested in water shortages??!? It’s bloody impossible!! It’s going to hard trying to keep speaking in a formal tone, specially without much prompt =(

So basically i’m getting ready to die!

Everything will be OK~

Gosh!one,two,three…You had so much points,maybe you take too much pressure on yourself at the same time.
In my experience,Just focus on what you’re talking about and believe yourself totally,you’ll do your best.Good luck to you.:)
