Dress for Success !!


Hello Good morning!! During our persuasive speech, I felt somehow fulfilled and nervous. The topic that I discussed is good and I know it will help, in the near future. I think I did great; I persuade most of them in wearing corporate attire in school. I guess the clarity and audibility of my voice improved and also my interaction between the audiences. Maybe my areas of improvement are the word I choose and appropriate vocabulary.  Organizing your ideas, research and rehearsing will help you to be success in public speaking because it will lead you to a better path of your speech. As for myself I rehearsed my speech in front of the mirror.
                                       
3 Personal Resolutions for Speaking:

1)      I will choose the appropriate words.
2)      I will continue to the clarity and audibility of my voice while speaking in front.
3)      And last I will organize my researches in to a better outline

That’s all. Thank you for listening Good Day!

Knowing My Audience

Topic: The Website 9gag
            Despite the popularity of this, many of the users have little knowledge of the origins of 9gag. I would like to share with them how 9gag has evolved through time and how it has become more than just a site that makes people laugh -- but has also become one of the most influential and revolutionizing sites on the World Wide Web.

            Audience's profile: Age: 16-18 yrs. old (?), Level of Education: First Year College
Interests and needs: They have little interest in serious matters because, normally, people in this age try not to dwell in matters that are too complex for them. One of their most significant needs is technology and, most importantly, the internet. (This may not exactly be a need but a want but, in today's world, technology has been categorized into being more a of a need rather than a want. We need it to keep up with the fast pace of life.)
            General State of Mind: They may be bored due to the long speeches that have already heard previously before me but, hopefully, I can revive their interest with my topic.

The benefits that will be reaped from my speech by the audience is additional knowledge regarding 9gag. It may seem like it is not important to know much a bout the site but it may actually teach the audience that it is better to try to thirst for knowledge instead of thriving in ignorance. This can be done by trying to know more things about the things that they use in their everyday lives, even if it isn't required of them to do so. Also, since 9gag has become popular today, it would be helpful to know a little more about them and so to keep up with the trends of the modern world.

Transcript:
            My speech will inform the audience about the origins and unseeingly importance of 9gag to today's youth and world. My audience will most likely be a group of Filipino freshman college students with ages 16-18 -- most of which, I assume, are quite aware of the said site. I also hope that, since they have knowledge of said site, I might be able to re-capture their attention if they have become impatient with the previous speeches.
            The benefit that the audience will hopefully reap from my speech is an expanded knowledge about the site and intolerance for ignorance. It will also emphasize how 9gag has placed such and effect on the Filipino youth today. The speech is also helpful in updating people in the trending events in today's modern internet world.

Nervousness...

I feel that I can become a better speaker if my strengths in public speaking can be improved. But, I know that I still have a lot of things to learn when it comes to public speaking because I possess a lot of the mentioned weaknesses in the discussion. I know that I need to learn how to remove these weaknesses so that I can become a better public speaker. I want to be one because I know that being a good speaker is essential to one's future. I believe that we can all become better public speakers we help each other out. It is also essential that we choose our words carefully when performing public speaking because we might send the wrong message to the people we are talking to.

Nervousness tip: Try to keep something solid (like a small rock or trinket) in your pocket when speaking to a crowd. Having something to squeeze can ease nervousness and keep you grounded.
            To be honest, I cannot think of any other tip due to the fact that I, myself, am not confident yet when it comes to public speaking.

The possible topics for my informative speech are:
            - The Possibility of the Philippines being the 16th Strongest Economy by 2050.
    Because seeing our economy at present, it may seem far-fetched that we                              could ever be part of the world's top 20 biggest economies. The informative speech will relay how and why this actually a possibility and may become a reality in the 2050.
            - The 9gag Phenomenon
              9gag has become a trend amongst the youth today. What is it and why has it become such a phenomenon? This informative speech seeks to show how and why 9gag was started.


Transcript:
            Like many college students, public speaking is a challenge for me. Nevertheless, I still look forward to learning how to overcome this challenge and, eventually, be able to speak in public with ease. For those who get nervous during public speaking, I suggest keeping something solid in your pockets to squeeze and to keep grounded throughout the speech. Unfortunately, that is the only tip I can impart for I, myself, have yet to discover ways of going through public speaking with ease.

Pasalubong

            Every time we visit our grandfather in Bulacan, we see to it that we buy pasalubong at Emy's Butong Pakwan Atbp. before heading back to Laguna. It is a store that has nuts for its specialty. Different kinds of seeds, peanuts, beans, and other snacks are sold. What makes it different from other pasalubong shops? Why not settle for others? One good reason is that the crunchiness and the texture of Emy's products are unchanged even after a month. Snacks bought from other stores might be as tasty, but they lose their brittleness instantly after opening. Another reason is that the treats' shelf life is prolonged without using any chemical preservatives.

            How am I so sure? The food items are carefully made by hand. Getting to witness the cooking process guarantees the customers that the products are safe. Seeing constant replacement of old supplies in the displays to new ones ensures security to buyers. In this store, everything is kept fresh, homemade, and free from chemicals. Not to mention delicious. You would want to keep coming back for more. I've been a long-time patron of this said If you want to taste their best selling delicacies, visit Emy's Butong Pakwan Atbp. It is located at Plaridel, Bulacan.

Hometown Locals


                Plaridel, Bulacan is where I grew up, so I can say that I’m very familiar with the people around me. I can tell what they feel; if they have any problems.  People in my hometown are hospitable, generous and sociable.
                Every morning, I wake up and I always see people drinking beer and playing cards or, if I may say, gambling. They start in the morning and end at midnight. But these people are my neighbors, although they are always drinking too much, they are still very generous. They can even talk straight despite the huge amount of liquor in their systems. They don’t get mad at whoever they are talking to, not like those shown in TV programs.
                Early in the morning I also see gossipers. Every morning they have the latest news to talk about. It may be good or bad.  They don’t care if anyone overhears them, that is actually what they want to do, to let everyone hear what they are talking about.
                But still some people in my hometown are good, industrious and hardworking; when I wake up in the morning I always see some of my neighbors sweeping the trash out of their backyards and gardens. It also gives me delight when they greet me good morning every time I walk past.      
With this, I can say that although some of them are drunkards and gossipers, they still find the time to help and to communicate with others. I know that they are the ones I can trust because I have lived there for 13 years and I have never regretted anything.
