Family / Nice Names For 21st Century Nigerian Children? by toby2all(m): 12:42am On Apr 30, 2013 |
While we are expected to give our children traditional or native names. It is important to give them names with positive meanings/interpretation and possibly sounding nice ąπ∂ not too long. Any suggestions? Note: it can be of any Nigerian tribe and possibly with their meanings attached. |

Religion / Re: If Someone Slaps You Would You Turn The Other Cheek. by toby2all(m): 6:29pm On Apr 21, 2013 |
Christ said so but He didn't imply its literal meaning. If not, why didn't He retaliate when He was slapped before being crucified? Think about this... |

Education / How To Make That Great Presentation Or Project Defence (public Speaking) by toby2all(m): 8:49pm On Apr 20, 2013 |
[center]HOW TO MAKE THE BEST PRESENTATION YOU EVER DREAMED OF:[/center] In life, public speaking is something you encounter from time to time but many always avoid it. It could be while making an announcement, a debate, a presentation or even defending your seminar/project research. This guide anyway focuses on the last three (the purely academic ones). It could get really embarrassing out there when you are alone and facing a crowd (probably large) but with the help of the knowledge in this guide, apt preparation and adequate confidence you can make something great out of your presentation. Remember that you are not going to perform very well if you begin to sweat, tremble, or shake and even stutter out of fear. [img][/img] The steps: BEFORE SPEAKING 1. Research your topic thoroughly in-depth: Make detailed and extensive notes and answer questions that you encounter during the research. 2. Arrange your findings: Decide which information is necessary, and cut off irrelevant points. (A highlighter pen may be of good use here). 3. Make an outline: Start rough and general (brainstorm), then get specific and to the point. 4. Get used to your topic, and then write down the whole speech as if it were an essay. Learn the content of the essay well. 5. Write down your presentation steps in order: i.e. what you will say and when you will say it. These should be key points in your outline (to keep you on topic) and details and statistics (that would be too difficult to remember e.g. dates, figures etc). 6. Practice your speech aloud several times alone several times alone until you are confident with it: It doesn't have to be identical to your essay in wording, but try to keep the content the same. Just practice, practice, and practice your speech until it feels natural 7. Practice in front of the mirror if you can't find anyone else or try giving the speech to things around your room. A teddy-bear, a vase, or even the T.V. will be fine. 8. Choose what visual aids (if any) you will use to enhance your presentation if necessary. 9. Practice in the room or venue where you will be speaking, if possible. Knowing the territory, and testing out how loud you must be in order to be heard is an advantage. 10. Once you have learned it well, practice your presentation in front of family members and/or friends. They can give you support, feedback, and help make you comfortable with speaking in front of people. 11. Take slow, deep breaths before your speech. 12. Wear a favourite piece of clothing (something smart and possibly relating to your topic) but don’t overdress. 13. Before you speak, do a "hokey pokey" in the privacy of a bathroom and shake out your hands too. This will loosen you up. Vocal exercises that can help the voice are good, as well. 14. Eat a healthy meal before your speech, but not too much. If you already feel nervous, having a full-to-bursting stomach is not good. Drink plenty of water the day before as well. 15. Get a good night’s sleep WHILE SPEAKING 16. If possible, never hold a piece of plain paper in your hand while speaking. It will flutter with every tiny movement and exaggerate all your shakes. If you need notes, write them on index cards. And don’t act as if you’re a news broadcaster. Look at points in the card just to remember them. Don’t read your audience a long boring essay. 17. Always speak in a loud, clear voice but don’t shout. 18. Try to look at your audience, not the floor or the desk in front of you. If it makes you uncomfortable to make eye contact, look at people's foreheads. Find a focal point (or several) in the room just above the audience’s heads. Instead of staring into many pairs of eyes, look at their hair. Focus on people's foreheads. It will appear as if you're making eye contact. This way, you will not have to stare into critical eyes, if there are any. [img][/img] 19. If you are really nervous take a small paperclip up on stage (or in class) bending it will help! 20. Find several other people in the audience that appeal to you and "speak" to them. If they can give you a thumbs-up, or an encouraging smile, it can help unimaginably. 21. Be confident! You know more about your topic than the other people in your class, so be proud of what you have to tell them and enjoy yourself. 22. If you're presenting in a class with other students, then try to go first. You should get a better grade, because your speech is the base for all other speeches and if you build the confidence to go first you should or you are not confident--or if you're terrified--ask your teacher beforehand if you can go first or second. Ask immediately for going "as soon as possible" so you can get it done before you worry too much (note this works if you stay calm and breathe naturally). 23. When you are speaking and get nervous just focus on anything but the people. Look at a wall clock or something else and focus on it while alternating it with other objects. Look around occasionally or else you look like you are an unmoving picture with a mouth. 24. Don't look down at your feet! Looking at your feet shows that you don't feel confident and makes people want to just go to sleep. Your feet aren't that pretty. 25. Practice standing still, not rocking back and forth, bouncing, etcetera but If you are allowed to move around during the speech, plan out where you will walk just to ease tension. Choreography will help take your mind off the audience. If you will move during the speech, check out anything that might make you trip. 26. While you're up there, remember: everyone watching you is so nervous about their own presentations, they're probably not paying all that much attention to you! 27. Keep in mind that you will stand out more if you stutter and use "um"s in every sentence than if you were to give a speech perfectly and without speech fright. Don't be afraid that people will think your speech is horrible, and realize that probably a lot of other people in your class, or school, etc, have nervousness when giving a speech. [img][/img] Note: Pray well before you present. Anything can happen. And finally, goodluck! 1 Like
