First essay

My whole experience so far is quite good. I learned lots of new things in the skill
class. Kak Nurul was one of the best teachers Ive ever met. I remembered when I delivered
my first speech, I wasnt performed much because I prepared the topic just an hour before
class. So, I dont have time to practise my speech at all. However, when I finished my speech,
the feedback I received was not really bad as I thought because after that she told me few
useful tips which I think really useful to be used for my next speech. For example, I should
practise my speech first that is by recording them and then listen to it so that I know whether
I talk too fast or slow perhaps. When I try those tips, I feel less nervous for my second speech
and well-prepared than the first one. Alhamdulillah it turns out good.
When I first joined that class, I was not sure what Ill really benefit from. My only
expectation from the class is to be a better presenter in the class and I think it does reach my
expectation because I have learned and experienced many interesting things in such a short
period of time.
Im not a natural speaker and I think that is why I always feel nervous when Im
delivering my speech, as a result, I will talk faster than my usual pace to the extent that i
dont even know what Im saying. Therefore I hope in this class Ill get to learn on the
abilities of not only how to speak effectively in public, but also be able to overcome my fear
when I had to stand at the front. Nevertheless I look forward for a fun and exciting class this
whole new semester.
