Speech : A Good Scare Is Worth More Than Good Advice

Imagine having the chance to fight for your country. As you remove your blade from the man you just killed, you see one of your men getting gutted in half by the enemy, so you jolt up in a full stride down the battlefield towards your target to carry out revenge. As you run the screams of the wounded cloud your ears, and as you get closer you are faced with enemies hurling at you from left and right inflicting wounds that would have any other man on their knees; nevertheless, you are no ordinary man. You have the heart of a warrior. Finally, as you are mere strides away from killing your target you draw your sword, and drive it into his skull. Then, with blood dripping down your face staining your skin you remove your sword, find a new target,

Define in detail the terms invention and innovation. Are there any differences, similarities and connection between them? Why? As part of your description include an example of each type.

I would consider my pacing and pauses to be my biggest weaknesses in any public speaking, but especially during this monologue. I could have paused a lot more since the character of Angelique was not meant to be rushing through her rant. While I wasn’t happy with my pacing and pauses I think my strengths were eye contact and volume. I took a lot of time to memorize my monologue and tried not to look at my paper too much and focus more on looking at my audience. My volume was another strength that I had during my monologue. I naturally am a loud person so it was something that I didn’t really have to think about, but I did notice that during other people’s monologues it was hard to hear and I’m glad that I was loud enough to not only get my point across, but for everyone to hear me. From my monologue and the ones that I watched, the biggest thing I learned was that pacing is very important even if you are nervous and want to be done. A lot of people including myself rushed through their performances and ended up stumbling over their words or running out of breath and it made the monologues less effective than they should have been. I also noticed that a lot of people either stood completely still or were swaying. It was hard for a lot of people to understand what to do with their bodies and they probably felt uncomfortable, but not only is it

What if it took one little girl’s death to save the life’s of hundreds of children. Amber Hagerman murder was part of the system of what we know now as AMBER Alerts.

Inventions are devices made to help make life easier. Many people have made inventions even kids invent things two. With inventions you can express your creative ability. Its an amazing way to soak up your knowledge into something amazing.

I would like to show you a different perspective on a topic that is very close to me, and hopefully persuade you to see this stance in a different light. The National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984 was passed to punish the states that allowed people under the age of 21 to buy and consume alcohol. I am sure you are aware of this act but that is when i believe a right was taken away from american citizens. I believe that it is a right of an american to go out with his friends or coworkers and relax after a long week of contributing to the economy , by working or putting money into circulation when he buys groceries or picks up the tab at the bar for his friends. I am fully aware of the opposing argument, that “kids” under 21 are not responsible for their actions when they are impaired by drinking, but the same is true about people over 21 as well. What defines 21 as the age that makes you so much smarter than the 20 year old that you were last week.

I am fairly nervous for my speech today because I didn’t get to prepare as well as I would have liked. I got called into work last night and had to work with a new person and they had no clue how to do anything, so not only did I have to train them, but I didn’t get to practice my speech as much as I would have liked. I almost guarantee I’m going to talk too fast and not make the time limit. I’m also a little apprehensive just because of the type of speech this is, and I have never actually done a toast before. I have spoken in front of many people before at a ceremony in my high school, because I was a board member in National Honor Society. I had to speak on behalf of my fellow members and honor the new inductees. I am really hoping, and

The night was packed with many surprises, but only one girl walked away with the crown and sash at the 9th Miss Blythe Outstanding Teen Pageant on Saturday, March 4.

I did a lot of preparation before my actual speech. First, I planned the outline several times and made many changes to it. Then, I would look at myself in a mirror, and started talking about the topic. I simply divided the speech into three parts during my preparation; intro, instruction on how to set up a skateboard and conclusion. I practiced each part several times, and I would try to present the whole speech again and again. Also, I presented the speech to my

Ever heard of a device that can check on your teen and can provide protection from danger? No, well there is and it’s called “The SafeTrack Teen Tracking Device.” It’s also effectively affordable and easy to use. But what I didn’t mention was that it be kept a secret from them. However, it’s a invasion of privacy to you teen; didn’t think of that right? I believe that parents should not use the SafeTrack device because they aren’t letting them make mistakes, showing lack of confidence in teen, and will lose trust (parent and child bond) because they aren’t letting them do anything on their own.

It's finally time for you to head off to basic training where you will be stationed thousands of miles away from your home and family because you want to serve and protect your country. It's going to be a struggle to leave everything you love behind but that's a sacrifice you have to make. Months into training you´ve put your energy into combat and have made great friendships and have come to know each other well, but you stay guarded because of the secret that could get you discharged. You´ve been out to your family and friends for quite awhile, and they accepted you ,but the same won't happen in this case. The D.A.D.T or The Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy allows gays to serve in the armed forces as long as they never acknowledge or tell anyone

During my informative speech, I did not have much confidence. Thus, I talked extremely fast and quietly. For my persuasive speech, I practiced more. In addition, I had to remind myself to slow my pace down and to talk slower. I tried to relax and control my breathing while giving my speech. I think my strengths were learning to control my tone of voice. In addition, I learned to slow down my pace.

Midway through my speech I felt safe and confident due to the fact that I remembered all of my lines. Everything was clicking and going in a smooth, steady pace. Knowing I had a time limit, I glanced over

Thanks you for reminding me of these affairs that are worthy of attention. Thank god that you survive from this disaster. I'm gald thay you gradually adjust to the normal life. Now, the plague is moving in all directions of the town directly. We keep the window closed all the time and store a lot of water and food.

I hope my family and I will pull throught this hard time as you did. I will contact you when we getting through this.

The first one was ‘Don’t Expect Perfection from Yourself.’ No one is perfect but when it comes time to speak in public, some of us pick at every little flaw we think we make. We blow up our imperfections yet ignore the good things. Honestly, though, even the greatest and most experience public speakers can make a lot of mistakes. The difference is, when they do, they’re able to gracefully recover and keep going as if nothing happened. That’s one of the keys to success: keep going gracefully. Most of the time, the audience won’t notice most of your mistakes unless you make them obvious by stopping your speech, breaking down and admitting your mistakes. You just have to carry through with poise and let yourself not be perfect.
