Public+Speaking+Part+2

==Effective public speaking skills can be learned by following a few simple points. Good speakers are organized and have the confidence to present the substance of the speech to an audience. Being able to speak effectively is a valuable skill that can be learned as a student and applied throughout one’s life.==

Ingredients:

 * ==one headline==
 * ==one expandable thesis or plan==
 * ==three points to support your thesis or plan==
 * ==one conclusion==

**Headline**:
==Capture your audience’s attention by giving them a reason for listening. This establishes a theme for your speech and can be a thought-provoking quote, statistic or story. The thesis or main idea of your speech is then presented. This is where you tell your audience what you are going to talk about.==

==All three of the above parts are necessary for an effective speech. There is a difference between being nervous and being uncomfortable as a speaker. The speakers who are not comfortable tend to be unorganized and unprepared. Speakers who are nervous are not familiar with the act of speaking. This can be overcome with practice.==
