Mr. Danial : Well Iman, I heard from your best friend, Elaine that you are taking
part in the public speaking competition. ( )
Iman : Yes, sir, and I came to ask you for some tips on public speaking. ()
Mr. Danial : With pleasure, Iman. I hope you’ve prepared your speech. Do you
know what you have to do next? ( )
Iman : I’m not sure, sir. Perhaps I should start practising and memorising my
speech by heart? ( )
Mr. Danial : Oh! That’s a big mistake. ( ) You must always carefully prepare
what you want to say, but never learn it off by heart.
Iman : If I don’t read my notes and memorise it, how can I remember what I
want to say? ( )
Mr. Danial : At first, you may bring with you small cards containing notes or main
points to your speech. However, when you get used to speaking in
public, it is best to do it without notes. ( )
Iman : But, I feel so nervous when I have to speak without notes. What
should I do to overcome this, sir? ( )
Mr. Danial : First, think about what you want to say, plan your outline, prepare
your notes and learn the main points to your speech. ( )Then, when
you begin to speak, the words will come to you naturally.
Iman : Thank you, sir, for the useful tips. ( ) I will definitely apply them
during my practice.
Mr. Danial : You’re welcome. Certainly, you will get on to your feet with frequent
practices.
