S and D FE review

When giving a speech, the most important thing to remember about your body language is to

• move in a natural way

• move like a robot

• keep your hands behind your back

• hold your hands out in front of you to invite people to pay attention

When you are in front of an audience giving a speech, your posture should be

 

• Holding your head down so as not to challenge the audience

• laid-back and comfortable, even slouching

• fluid and natural with a projection of height

• Posture doesn't matter

 

In the course of your speech, if you decide to read a brief item, letter or paragraph, the best way to do this in a natural and casual way is to

• Hold the paper in front of your face so people know you are reading

• read as fast as you can since it is not your own words

• write/type it out in a larger font, practice and rehearse

• Don't use outside items in a speech
