Task 1

Following these tips may help you to be more comfortable when speaking in front of an audience:

Objectify Your Concerns: Write a list of whatever concerns you have about the presentation.

Examine each concern and determine a course of action to minimize that potential problem. You'll quickly discover that you can take an appropriate countermeasure for just every fear you have about speaking.

Know the Introduction of the Talk: Anxiety is typically highest at the start of a presentation If you carefully plan the introduction of your presentation, and you know it very well, you can confidently get through the early part of your presentation.

Practice Your Presentation: Each practice helps you become familiar with what you want to say, and helps you experiment with different ways of communicating your message. Practice aloud rather than silently, practice in front of a "test" audience if you can, and practice the full presentation rather than just parts of it. But note, you cannot practice too much. So, stop practicing once you discover that you're losing enthusiasm for what you will be saying.

Familiarize Yourself with the Place Where You'll Be Speaking: Try to practice the speech at least once in the room where you'll give it. A classroom that you've been in a hundred times before may suddenly look different if you're at the front speaking to the class. Be sure to practice with any equipment that you'll be using, such as an overhead projector.
