Speaking Skills 2 of 10

Speaking Skills 2 of 10

When you’re assigned a class presentation, think twice before dismissing it as an unimportant part of our education. Employers look for speaking skills in job applicants, who may have to give presentations to clients or represent their organization in the field. It’s never too soon to practice good eye contact and other public speaking techniques.

According to The Book of Lists, the fear of public speaking ranks number one in the minds of the majority of people. Far above the fear of death and disease, comes the fear of standing in front of a crowd. Joel Weiner noted author and public speaker wants to help people overcome that fear.

“The biggest fear is public speaking, with 15 percent of American experiencing a dramatic fear of it,” said Dr. Michael Telch of the Laboratory for the Study of Anxiety Disorders (LSAD) in the Department of Psychology at the University of Texas In Austin. “People have had to turn down jobs, and certainly students have dropped classes because of it.”

Regardless of your occupation, your success depends a great deal upon your ability to communicate effectively! Whether you’re running a meeting, selling a product, making a presentation, motivating co- workers or jus communicating one-on-one with others, you’ll get far better results if you can speak persuasively, smoothly, and intelligently.

During the test
Read the directions.
It’s important that you follow the instructions exactly. For example, some questions may have more than one correct answer.

Answer every question.
Unless there is a penalty for wrong answers, try to answer every question; you may be able to get partial credit for those you begin but don’t complete correctly.

Ask questions.
If a question isn’t clear, talk to your teacher. If that’s not possible, explain your answer in the margin.

More Tips
Finally, look beyond the article for more clues.

·       Read the website’s home page and About Us page. Look for a mission statement to learn more about the site, its purpose and the organization sponsoring it.
·       If there is an author listed, look for a biography that discusses the author’s education, profession and other relevant background. If there is no bio on the site, search for one elsewhere on the Web.
·       Check the date. Facts can change over time, so see if the site shows when it was last updated.
·       Presentation counts; look at everything from design to spelling. A clean, well-organized site shows a certain degree of professionalism.
·       Avoid sites that are pornographic, vulgar, inappropriate, below par, suggestive, and falsifying.

It’s Online, but Is It On Target?
Part 2

Research with Attitude
Conduct your research with the attitude of a skeptic. As you examine websites for clues that they’re trustworthy, ask these questions:
·      Who wrote the Web page? If you can’t identify the individual or organization responsible for the information, don’t use it.
·      What are the author’s qualifications for writing on the subject?
·      Has the article passed through an editorial process designed to ensure quality and accuracy?
·      What is the website purpose? Look for motives – like selling products or winning votes – that could result in biased or incomplete information.
·      Is the information accurate? Is it up-to-date?
·      Where did the author get this information?

Student Success statement


Student Success statement

“The first law of success…….. Is concentration; to bend all the energies to one point, and go directly to that point, looking neither to the right nor the left.”
William Matthews

Reflection: I agree because when you concentrate hard on what you want to achieve you can actually succeed in accomplishing it. Without concentration your dreams will fail no matter how much you think you can succeed without even trying. If you don’t even at least try to concentrate then what’s the point of even thinking that you will be a great person on the future. With concentration you can accomplish your goals little by little until eventually you have achieved everything you’ve ever wanted in life.

Student Success Statement


Student Success Statement

“When you believe you can-you can.”

-Dr. Maxwell Maltz

Reflection: I agree with Maxwell Maltz. Anyone can succeed as long as they think positive and believe that they can. When you don’t let all the negativity get to you and as long as you try hard enough you can succeed in your own life goals. Sometimes people don’t know why they haven’t succeeded and maybe it’s because they don’t truly believe that they can. NO one can achieve something if they don’t believe that it’s possible. When you believe that you can you are letting all the negativity in the world slide past you to make room for the positive side that helps you with your hopes and dreams.
