EF6 July 26

 

 

Good morning, everyone.

We will get started at 8:30.

Cameras on. Mics muted.

 

Today’s agenda

 

·      Test#2

·      Review Quiz#5-adj cl

·      Read through UN Declaration of Human Rights.

https://www.un.org/en/about-us/universal-declaration-of-human-rights

Choose one of the articles that speaks to you. Prepare a few sentences to tell us which acticle you chose and about why for next class. (1, 2-3m)

I will ask for volunteers. Your choosing to speak will be optional. I will give some bonus points to whoever takes this opportunity to talk to the class about the human right that they chose.

 

Advice for being a good public speaking:

#1 fear of most people

- anxious, sweating, crying, all worked up, panicking

TRUTH- Other people want to listen and hear your thoughts. They want you to do well.

Everybody’s empathizes with your nervousness.

 

A few pieces of advice:

1.    Deaf grandmother.

Speak more slowly than you normally would. Speak a little louder than you normally would.

2.    Good dog!

Friendly tone of voice. Inviting voice. Put energy into your words.

Be a little bit bigger than you normally are: bigger energy, more engaged.

3.    Indian princess – bindi, red dot between the eyes

Look people in the eyes when you are talking to them. If you are shy, you can look at them right between the eyes. It will be less intense for you than looking someone right in the eyes.

 

SECRET: If you stare at each other in the eyes for two full minutes, you will fall in love with each other.

     HOMEWORK: Try it on the bus today.

 

If you are interested in public speaking, you can look at groups like Toastmasters.
