A sea of faces!

Hi everyone!

I took part in Jack Petchey's Speak out! competition at my school it was really good because we were coached in how to speak infront of a crowd. Our body language, eyecontact, pace etc it was really interesting because you could really see people developing throughout the day as we learnt new things!

Well the competition itself came towards the end of the day when we were given the task of preparing a speech about a subject we felt strongly about to present to the rest of the group. I choose the fact that the emergency services are underpayed, it just annoys me that certain porfessions get paid more when the emergency services are so valuble. Anyway I was really nervous and shaking and it soon came to my turn but when I stood up I just thought 'I'm gonna go for it there's no point my nerves getting to me'. So I blitzed through it and it turns out...

I came second Which means I'm through to the Borough final but I'm not sure if I'm a reserve or actually speaking, but it'll be a good experience!

I'm thinking of buying Knocked up and Superbad has anybody seen them and would you recommend?

Hope everyone's had a good week so far

Well done Kelly! Good for you. I was always crap at speaking in public.

I've seen Knocked Up, but not Superbad. Knocked Up was good - silly, harmless fun.

Congratz. That is fantastic! I love public speaking. I haven't seen either movie.

Wow! Good going! I could never do that. I just choke up and have to become some entirely different anti-me in order to speak to a bunch of people I don't know.

Haven't seen a movie in eons. I'm looking forward to it someday...

Superbad-yes, Knocked Up-a big no-no. Seen both and thought Knocked Up was lame. Or maybe I just can't stand that Heigl chick *shrug*

Oh wow! Body language has always sounded really appealing to me. It is very true that we convey a lot through what isn't orally said. I've always been terrible at speaking in front of an audience but you did a fab job at getting second! Good luck in the final, hope you are able to take part.

Sorry, I haven't seen either. Have a great week you too. Hugs
