2. What public speaking practices do you think should be practiced more in class?
Why?
As someone who is mostly afraid of public places, I am extremely terrified of
speaking in front of other people. I personally would like to practice in doing reports. Not
only does it help me in gaining confidence to speak in public, but also help me to
explain what I want to say without myself stuttering causing the audience to miss my
point and cannot understand me.

In order to get rid of the pandemic, every country must have the capability to
detect, analyze and neutralize the virus. Which means that every country must have
great health care system which can quickly eliminate any virus before it spreads. If this
isn’t achieved, then the virus would just return and return because even if the rich
countries can contain it, the poor countries are still infected and still can infect more
people.
