Part 3 Follow Up Questions

1. Why do people get nervous when they speak in public?
   I think public speaking is the most common fear among people. There are many reasons
   why people feel nervous when speaking in public. It may be due to lack of confidence, lack
   of knowledge about the subject or the topic, hesitation due to the feeling that they are
   being judged or it maybe because of shyness or an introvert nature.
2. How can they improve their public speaking skills?
   Public speaking can be improved by gaining more knowledge about the topic or the subject.
   This will build up confidence. It can be practiced with friends and family, who can help
   improve the speaking skills by giving feedback. We can also make use of technology by
   recording our speech and replaying it. And getting a lot of practice before the actual event
   helps improve the confidence to speak in front of public.
3. What different kinds of speeches or lectures have you attended in your life?
   I have attended many kinds of speeches and lectures that in my life. During my school and
   college years, I have attended various lectures delivered by my teachers or guest speakers,
   about various topics and subjects. I have attended some motivational speeches about things
   like time management, positive thinking, etc. There are many religious speeches that I have
   heard at the Gurudwara/temple/church/mosque. I have also heard speeches from/by
   political leaders, usually right before elections. I have attended speeches and lectures about
   social issues also, like drug addiction, female feticide, dowry issue and many more.
4. What qualities (attributes) should these visiting speakers have?
   There are many qualities/attributes required to be a good speaker, like confidence, in-depth
   knowledge about the topic, good memory, ability to keep the audience engaged, which can
   be achieved through an interactive session, where everyone in the audience is involved or
   maybe by adding a touch of humor. A good command on the language is also a must and
   the person should speak clearly and confidently.
5. Why do you many people find it hard to give a talk to young children?
   I think it is hard to give a talk to young children because they usually have a very short
   attention span. They get distracted easily and it is important to keep them constantly
   involved and engaged during the speech. They are not mature enough to know the facts and
   there are different strategies used to explain the subject or the topic to them, for example,
   by telling a story that they can relate to and understand.
6. Why do you think many people are nervous before they give a speech?
   (Same answer as for question 1)
7. Why do people give speech to children?
   The main reason for giving a lecture or a speech to children is to teach them moral or social
   values or to give knowledge about a particular topic or subject. It could also be used to
   motivate children to perform better or maybe to become more organized.
8. Who makes people do so?
   It could be the parents, the school/college management, local NGOs, government
   authorities, like the traffic police, etc.
9. How media relates to the speech to children in school?
   Media plays a very important role in everyone’s life these days. The speeches given to
   children in schools can be published in newspapers or broadcast on TV, which further helps
   spread the message or awareness among other schools/educational institutions and the
   children.
10. What benefits does the internet bring to communication?
    In my opinion, the internet brings numerous benefits to communication, including instant
    connectivity and global reach, allowing people to connect and communicate across vast
    distances. It facilitates real-time communication through various platforms, enables sharing
    of information, fosters collaboration, and provides a platform for diverse voices to be heard
    and ideas to be shared.
    
11. Which one is better, being a communicator or a listener?
    I think that both being a communicator and a listener are valuable skills, and their
    importance depends on the context and situation. Effective communication involves both
    expressing ideas clearly and actively listening to others. Striking a balance between being an
    effective communicator and an attentive listener fosters understanding, promotes
    meaningful connections, and enhances overall communication effectiveness.
12. What qualities does a person need to have to be a good communicator?
    According to me a good communicator should possess qualities such as clarity in expression,
    active listening skills, empathy, adaptability, and the ability to convey ideas effectively.
    Strong verbal and nonverbal communication skills, along with the capacity to understand
    and respond to the needs of others, are essential for effective communication.
13. What kinds of people often give speeches?
    I think, various types of people give speeches, including politicians, public figures, activists,
    educators, business leaders, and professionals in different fields. They may deliver speeches
    at events, conferences, graduation ceremonies, or during public engagements to inform,
    inspire, persuade, or entertain audiences.
14. How important is it to be a good listener when communicating?
    Well, being a good listener is crucial in effective communication. It shows respect, fosters
    understanding, and allows for meaningful engagement. Active listening helps build rapport,
    reduces misunderstandings, and promotes effective problem-solving and collaboration.
