I was a little nervous about presenting my speech but when I got up at the front of the classroom, I was fine. Don’t think about your nerves, just make sure you have read over your speech before and you will be fine!

Mkae sure that you prepare well and have a page of notes to read from. Give clear arguaments and divide them up into sections for clarity. Try and interact with the audience and not look too much at your presentation material, instead try and focus your attention forwards, at the audience.

When you are delivering your speach make sure to make eye contact with your audeience and be confident. Use the time wisley and put as much effort in as possible. If you are speaking about something you love make sure it is emphasised in your words.
Make sure you rehearse what you want to say maybe in front of your parents so that you have confidence on what you are saying and not constantly looking down at your sheet!:D

Delivering the speech was easier than I thought it would be. I should have given a more clear definition of what my topic was, and my powerpoint presentation could have contained links to some examples.

Make sure you are fully prepared for your exam. This can be done by making an acompanying powerpoint or revising and learning your script fully. Dont think about nerves as when your up their it will all be fine:)
