Most people have fears of speaking in public,…

Perform the speech just as I showed you, clearly and smoothly. If you want to speak louder as bad actors usually do, I might willingly look for a newscaster to read the lines for me. Don’t overuse too many hand gestures; just do as few as possible, moderately, like this. If a powerful tempest of passion comes on you while you are on stage, keep your emotions moderate and smooth. I deeply hate a wig wearing, a bombastic actor that tears a passion into shreds, bursting everyone’s ears to impress…

1.There is instructions for the first portion, but not for the speaking portion, so I will give this a score of 2. 2) There is a short instruction at the beginning, but there isn’t any written instruction for the short speech following the test.

my interest in and vocal support of egalitarianism, I was later nominated by my English teacher, Mrs. Lindsay Gutierrez, for the Jack Weinstein Award through Facing History and Ourselves. I won the award thereafter, because I made a video-recorded speech regarding gender discrimination intervention that was terse yet impassioned. I recounted a past event that compelled me to take a stance against sexism: I went against my grandfather. The patriarchal traditions and values he held could not take…

For example, alcohol has many of the same side effects of marijuana. Alcohol buffers the central nervous system and is known to kill brain cells. A joint of marijuana is known to produce more tar than a cigarette, but on the average marijuana users do not consume enough marijuana to surpass the tar build up of a person who smokes a pack of cigarettes a day. June Crown and W.D.M. Paton state that "Further, one should realize that different cannabis smokers select different levels of intoxication"…

Sapir (1921), R.A Hall (1968), R.H Robins (1979), have defined it as a…

Target behavior to be changed: I chose to change my fear of speaking in public for the self- change project. It is important for me to change this behavior because I want to replace this fear with being confident while presenting myself in public, more specifically in a business setting. Baseline and data gathering: The method I used to collect my baseline data (the measurement of my present behavior) was the SUDS scale. I used this method because the SUDS scale is for measuring “subjective…

However, the presenter does mention that it is essential for all to recognize that sometimes speaking up can do more damage than good. For example, although a person may feel as though he or she…

As a child, my parents taught me my native language, Spanish, by reading books to me any chance they had. At the age of 8, when I had the opportunity I would bring home a variety of books from school eager to read them and learn new words. I spent a great amount of time reading that I eventually decided to move into short novels. This helped me improve so much that I never had trouble speaking Spanish. I specifically remember in our small class of 15 students, me speaking Spanish more fluently…
