How to be a good public speaker

1. Find out about the room you are to speak in. Stand where you will stand. Practice using a mike if you have one.
2. Know your audience. Stand at the door and greet some of them. Know what they are interested in.
3. Know your material. Don't wait until the last minute to practice it.
4. Relax, Exercise the morning of your talk or just before.
5. Imagine yourself making a very successful speech.
6. Realize that your audience is with you. They want you to do well.
7. Don't apologize if you make a mistake. This just calls attention to it. The audience might not notice!
8. Concentrate on your message, on what you are saying, not on what you are doing.
9. Be enthusiastic. If you are, then your audience will be too.
10. Get experience. Welcome the chance to make speeches. The more you do it, the better you will be.

Time limit: one munute each Rebuttal (a rebuttal is an answer or response to what someone has said). Candidate A Candidate B Time limit: 30 seconds each Let candidates take turns going first answering the questions. You can follow this pattern until all of the questions have been ansered.
