Public Speaking Course

This time I will my speech colourful to highlight some structural and use of language things. The first script is about strucure. (attention-getter) "I came to parenting the way most of us do - knowing nothing and trying to learn everything", said one American actress and scientist, Mayim Bialik.   (link)We all learn how to be an engineer, an actress, a doctor, a manager. But there is no educational programme on how to be a parent. And this role is important in our life. Does education for parents make sense? I believe, yes. (thesis)  And the thesis of my speech is: people should get special education before becoming parents.   (preview) There are some reasons to persuade you: people should know about problems of parenthood, get more information about child care and check their own readiness. (main heading 1) The first reason I think so is that people should know about problems they can face when they become parents.   (point support) They should expect...

My friend Natasha invited me and my cousin Ann to go to the hockey match on Sunday. Natasha's boyfriend is a hockey player and it was a match between his team and a team from another city. We went to the stadium where the game took place. There were not as many people as there are on the big matches but anyway I could choose someone to talk to. I saw a young woman next to us. She cheered one of the players. I decided to ask her whom she supported. I was nervous but she seemed to be friendly. I asked and she said that there was his brother who played. He was in the same team as our friend. At the end of the game we were all happy that our team won. I congratulated a girl. I don't think that we will continue the communication but that was a good experience.

My new challenge was to reach a destination by asking people in the street about the route. Last week I went to meet my friends. We were to meet in one shopping centre. I didn't know our cuty very well so it was a good opportunity to complete the challenge. I usually use 2GIS to find a route to the destination. This time I desided to do it with the help of people around me. I came to the bus stop and asked one woman how I could reach Sibirsky Moll. She said that I can go by route taxi 42. So I did it. But as I went into the car I asked the driver what bus stop I needed. So I went out at that bus stop. There I had to ask for the help again because the shopping centre is situated far from the bus stop. And one young girl helped me. She pointed out the street to go. I thanked her and reached the place. The most difficult thing when you want to talk to a stranger is to choose the most friendly person. But all in all, after these challenges I understand that everyone is redy to h...

We all get education. We learn how to be an engineer, an actress, a doctor, a manager. But there is no educational programme on how to be a parent while it's one of the most important roles we play in this life, at least it's not the least. One American actress, Mayim Bialik, said: "I came to parenting the way most of us do - knowing nothing and trying to learn everything". So what if someone taught us to be parents beforehand? Does education for parents make sense at all? I believe, yes. People should get special education before becoming parents. There are lot of reasons to persuade you. The first reason I think so is that people should know about problems they can face when they become parents. They should expect sleepless nights, endless crying, problems with homework, first love and the awkward age. Such situations are described in the sitcom The Middle. There are three children in the Heck’s family. And parents always have new challenges. For example, thei...

Education for future parents We all get education. We learn how to be an engineer, an actress, a doctor, a manager.

One American actress, Mayim Bialik, said: "I came to parenting the way most of us do - knowing nothing and trying to learn everything". So what if someone taught us to be parents beforehand? Does education for parents make sense at all? I believe, yes. People should get special education before becoming parents. There are lot of reasons to persuade you. The first reason I think so is that sometimes people don’t know about problems they can face when they become parents. They don’t expect sleepless night...
