The same student below gave his speech again a week later. I hope you can notice the big improvement. Not only is his self-confidence stronger but he succeeds in getting across his message more effectively and with more impact. Our comprehension of his ideas is easier too because he makes us want to listen to him by the improved style of stronger delivery, better audience awareness and much more eye contact. His main message about what he has learned personally about the benefits of sports is unchanged, but the power and impact of the message is much greater. Give a speech is much more than just writing (and reading) a good composition. A good public speaking performance can make people take notice, give us attention and also understand a new, important and meaningful lesson or idea.
