Public speaking

Hello! Today I'm going to tell you about my 9th challenge: to defend my point of view. It was difficult. I was arguing with my brother about the serial "the Flash". He doesn't like films and serials about superheroes, but I'm fond of it.  And one day we wanted to watch film, but we didn't know what film. At first I offered to watch a comedy, my brother refused. Then I said to him, "what are your suggestions?". He proposed horrors, I was adamant and immediately refused. Suggested to watch the series "the Flash" and this is where our argument began.  My brother didn't even see the show and was biased. I said it's a very popular series and most people like it. this argument did not work, I listened to a very large number of criticism.  No, we didn't yell at each other, we just argued. We argued for  an hour or so and I gave a lot of arguments, but did not retreat. Then I just said, "Let's watch a few minutes of the ...

Hello, my friends! Have you ever been in ridiculous situation? If you think, almost all remember this. But how do you react on this? Almost all the time I had such situations, but my attitude is very bad, sometimes I maay cry! That's why it's my 8th challenge. Some time (about a week) I tried to change my position and look at it from positive side. And it helped!  For example, when I was going to visit  my sister,  I was in a hurry and put the sweater on the left side without noticing it. When I arrived to my sister, her husband asked: "Are you afraid of being jinxed?" and he laughed. I didn't understand what was happening and said "No.". And when I went to the mirror and saw how I was dressed, I laughed and thought to myself sarcastically: "God, what a dumbass!". Then I went to my sister's husband and asked, "why didn't you say?". He said: "It was so funny. You should have seen yourself, " and we laughed at th...

Hello, my dear readers! Have you ever felt the social fears? For example, did you feel uncomfortable to start conversation with person you don't know? These questions relate to my 7th challenge:  Go to a social event with a friend and initiate a conversation with one person you don't know. About 2 days ago I went to my friend's birthday and there were people I didn't know. We all were sitting at the table and I talked to my friends. But when I went in kitchen to take a cake with candles, I came across the man, who was sitting oposite me at the table. I was very confused and apologized. But this man said: "That's okay. It happens to everybody." Then I smiled and asked about his mood. It turned out tha we started talking. At first I felt tension, but after a while I felt that it was gone and I relaxed. So, in my surrounding there was one more good companion.

Attention-getter Link Thesis Preview I guess that day the teacher didn't really feel well or something happened to her beloved pet.. But she started complaining on me for not hurrying to solve that equation. Honestly, I was so puzzled that I couldn't utter a word. Then that situation made me think why people were so rude sometimes? I think it is ignorance or envy that drives people to say things they'd better not to.  And the thesis of my speech is to not say three the most rude words. There are lots f reasons to make you think about what you say: all of you,will be a teacher, which should respect students and their opinion, not only teach, but also be like a mentor. Main heading 1 Point support 1 Firstly, if you want to criticize your students or someone else, be friendly, mild and share your constructive criticism. Pick the right words. Talk to the student alone. Analyze what kind of person is in front of you and, accordingly to his interests, characteristic...

Hello, my dear readers! Today I will tell you about my 6th challenge. I always congratulated my friends and some of relatives through the messages on my phone. But Yesterday my brother selebrated his birthday and I decided to congratulate him in reality. I don't know, why I feel so awkward myself, when I do this in real life.      Often I forgot words, which I want to say, although in my head I imagine what I say to person and what his reaction. I mustered the courage and decided to say some words to my brother with all the guests were sitting at the table. When I stood up I felt some excitement and I felt my knees tremble. But when I started speak, I felt how this excitement gradually fade away and my voice grew more confident. And I cried at my own words, I don't know why it happened. I guess I'm too emotional to make these kinds of speeches, and that's why I'm so scared and afraid of it. But I realized one important thing that evening: don't be afra...
