Finally, I have made my first english public speech at last friday night in
the
Cliffort
Toastmasters Club, the topic was "The Beauty And The Beast", I like that
topic, but i don't think my perform of the speach was cool!
Actually, I'm a good public speaker when I made presentations about the
technology or products to our customers in Chinese. But i will still feel
nervous when I'm talking about something unfamiliar to me, especially using the
unfamiliar language--English. When i'm nervous, i paid too much attentions to
the CONTENT, so i can just "read" out the content in my mind. When i'm talking
in English, i make mistakes like using the wrong words, tense etc. Mistakes made
me nervous, nervous make me ran out of control of the speech.
I have learnt lots of public speaking skills in some courses, to my
personal experiences, if you want to become a good speaker, the most importantce
thing is "confidance". Without confidance, you have no way to show your skills.
So, what can i do to make myself a better english speaker?
First, i need to practise english more. Second, i need to have confidance
even with mistakes, mistakes are not a big deal, the audiences can still catch
my meaning by my simple words, my tone, my gestures etc.
Therefore, I decided to post up this article, my first english blog which
might be "惨不忍睹" with many mistakes. My dear friends, you are warmly welcome to
give me any suggestions, thanks!
