Easier said than done? But things always have to start with something, somewhere, so let it begin with my kind reminder cum advice.
I guess I'll be teaching public speaking this time around, but there's no confirmation yet. If so, I'd be more than excited. Really, I just can't wait to groom more public speakers, scout talents for UNITEN EDSoc.'s debate team, and witness a whole class of future leaders speaking up their minds on issues and matters of importance and grievance, planning for their immediate future as well as the nation, deliberating ideas, and debunking invalid arguments. Let's just say that I anticipate a class of active and enthusiastic learners wanting to polish their public speaking skills, and not to forget, budding talents who are grasping with theory and interested in further practice on the public speaking challenge.
If you are a writer, not yet a speaker, you are also most welcomed to join the circle. I believe that speaking and writing are so beautifully connected. The only difference lies in how much guts you need to speak your mind. Seriously! But if you don't care about guts, face, and pride, and your only concern is passing the course with flying colours - then public speaking course will turn the writer in you into a fantabuluos public speaker. Just remember to talk a lot outside class, guess that's a handy kit:)
You may want to visit this link and read my simple article on the speaking-writing connection. hopefully, this piece of mind will motivate you a bit more...

Looking forward to seeing all of you again in the real classroom, and the speaking community.

Asm, kak zue, its me, ana from COIT. Emmm, Its took about 6 months before I got my "confidence" to write. Before this, I'm the loyal reader to this blog, and yeah, everytime I want to write, I will always asked myself, can I write?...
Can I join your public speaking class? Now I feel like a little bit tense because I have to grab so many things at one time, my study, writing, reading, presentation, etc. But at the same time I got so many lesson. "ana, don't give up, don't think too much, a long journey starts with a single step..."
And now, with a little cup of confidence, I want to join this community.
Please accept my existence.
Thank you for opening this opportunity to me to build up my writing skills.
See you...bye
