The more you speak, the better you will get

Schools have put more emphasis on public speaking in recent years. This improves our presentation skills and will be useful at job interviews.

Here are some suggestions on how to give a good speech. You should not speak too loud or too fast. Explain your ideas clearly, along with examples.

Use suitable vocabulary and be careful about pronunciation. Stress and rhythm are also very important.

You should have eye contact with the audience and use body language. At the end of the speech, remember to thank the listeners.
