Male Female

I would like to talk about the time I gave a talk in front of a large community of people. When I was studying at university, I was assigned to give a significant talk in front of a large audience. At first, I felt quite disappointed and depressed because I couldn't express my ideas clearly. But after the preparation, I gained many qualities, including interpersonal skills and the effective utilization of my speech. When I delivered my speech, I planned all of the ideas clearly and noted the main details. During the presentation, I tried to make eye contact rather than just reading the main ideas from the slides. I honestly felt quite nervous because in the middle of my speech, I had some hesitation, even though I went through some difficulties. I tried my best to explain eloquently all of the details and urged many people to buy our products. I explained the main ideas that were effective and how user-friendly our products were, and which qualities differentiated our products from those of other brands. At the end of this discussion, I received good feedback from my teacher and my group mates. On top of this, I built my confidence, and it taught me the importance of preparation before delivering a good speech to a large number of people. It not only improved my communication skills.
