Persuasive speech: "Never say these things!"

-
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? In my reflections, I realized it is ignorance or envy that drives people to say things they'd better not to.
The most surprising thing was that it said a teacher!  I think that teacher should be considerate, even if he has a bad mood or problems. Teacher is a person who should respect students and their opinion. When I  had an intership, one of my students wrote me a letter which was so moving. After reading this letter I realized that teacher should not only teach, but also be like a mentor.
   Firstly,if you as a teachers want to criticize your students, don’t be so severe and share your constructive criticism. Pick the right words. Talk to the student alone. No need to make comments in front of everyone, because all people are different and each needs its own approach. Analyze what kind of person is in front of you and, accordingly to his interests, characteristic behavior, start a conversation. If the interlocutor is used to being constantly praised, he does everything correctly, and never makes mistakes, then the criticisms should be soft, careful, but clear and specific.
   Secondly, point student to his most attractive, bright and strong points. Give student the opportunity to feel valuable and needed. Pay attention to the qualities that you like, what you appreciate. And then just go to the essence of your comments. 
   Thirdly, Try to express your thoughts so that there is no opinion that the error is already incorrigible and the person was in a hopeless situation. Point out that although there was a mistake, it is easy to correct it.
These simple advices will help you to find the right contact with your students and understand them!
And finish my speech I would like with the quotation of Steven Brookfield: "The most important knowledge teachers need to do good work is a knowledge of how students are experiencing learning and perceiving their teacher’s actions."
I hope my advices will be useful for you not only in career of teacher, but also in communication with other people.

    Hi! Thank you for your speech. It has many good ideas though I'd recommend a few suggections how to improve it.
    1) The topic sentence is not really clear. You are providing two arguments there (which seems a bit confusing to me) and both of them highlight different aspects of your topic. I'd rather use the "touching letter" example as one of the arguments in the body. (P.S. use the word "internship" instead of "practice")

    2) You could also add a brief plan in the introduction about what things you believe teachers shouldn't say.

    3) The body needs more clarity and organozation. Try to start each of your three argument paragraphs with the word "first, second, third" and then state your argument-believe in one sentence. It's like a topic sentence of the paragraph. For instance, "First of all, teacher should give constructive criticism to their students.", "Second, teachers should focus on focus students strengths." You'll see how easier it is to continue your argument paragraph once you have a clear beginning.

    4) In the conclusion, there is a syntactic or a grammar mistake that breaks the logic of the quotation. Be more straightforward in conclusion. Summarize that you've said in the body and call for action.

    Again, you have good ideas here , but they are spread all over the text so that it's difficult to follow the logic. No push, just a few ideas how to improve the speech so that you yourself were more confident when presenting it to the audience ;)

#challenge № 6

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...

The last challenge was the most difficult... I went alone to completely unfamiliar place where are the people who I didn't know. I went in Academcity with my friend last week. We wanted just relax and she wanted to visit her sister. We spend there about 2 days. And on the second day I decided to go to the science cafe "Eureka", where was Oleg Kugaev who talked about his discoveries. He told about his photographic discoveries of the past year: in 2018, he was looking for a snow leopard in Altai, went with his son to play in one of the largest sandboxes in the world — in the Gobi desert, shot a movie in Carrara. It was very interesting to listen to him and watch photos. I even forgot about my phone and didn't pull out it from my bag.  I went alone there and even didn't feel uncomfortable. There was cosy atmosphere and all people were friendly. To my astonishment, I felt myself very relaxed and didn't feel loneliness.

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 ...
