First Class of Public Speaking (16/10/2021)
Before the class, we received the news where our class will still be under the same lecturer and same group as well. I was on cloud nine to heard the news and I am glad that everything remains the same since it is more comfortable for me. The class started at a sunny day Saturday morning at 1030am, after a warm greetings with the lecturer, she gave us a very clear explanation about our syllabus one by one. We also have done several task that was ask by the lecturer.
The first task that we received is nomination for this semester's club committees. We do the nomination using the google spreadsheet but there is disagreement upon the nomination. I felt panic at first when the disagreement arrived upon the nomination, but Ci Kin (previous president) volunteered in charge of the re-voting session and it really calm everyone down. I learned that the lack of problem solving, teamwork and communication skills could leads to a breakdown for a team. Luckily, I was chosen as the president of the club and there is a huge responsible that coming ahead me and my teams. I wish I could brings joy and positive environment for the club.
The second task that we received is by updating our Weebly by doing reflections and summary of the video. Everything went digitalized after the COVID-19 outbreak, I never thought we could use Weebly as our platform to share knowledges and speech beside writing reports . It is indeed a fresh start for each and everyone to share their reflections using a this platform, it is hard for us to know each other since we never have a physical class and we never meet each other, but by using Weebly to share our thoughts not only can let us know each other even more but we also learn something new through this platform.
To simplify, today class is quite intense for all of us due to the lack of teamwork and communication, but I believe their is still lots of platform that could help us improving our skills and make our bond more stronger.

The sound of the rain storm wakes me up in the morning, as usual I attend our virtual public speaking class on 10:30AM. We started our class by the warm greetings of Madam and we receive the group work of doing summary for the books at OL. Madam has teach us about protocol today and it really insightful. I really interested in protocol and corporate relation ever since I was in Diploma because of my experience the Deputy of Corporate Department for 2 semesters. Understanding protocol is really important because protocol is something that we utilize in our daily life such as the protocol that set by the government for the COVID-19. Protocol is a procedure and regulation that we utilize on an event or daily routine. Event protocol is include agenda, timeline, script, and remarks. Every committee of the event must know the protocol especially emcee. We take an example if on a formal event without a protocol, it will looks unorganized, no timely manners and not formal. An emcee is like a representative for an event, not only the emcee but every committee is also need to follow the protocol. There is an official precedence for all events, but it is important to know that each guest also may have “relative precedence” at a given event. That is why the emcee need to prepare the script to know the VIP, to read the guest in order according to their position and the event manager should arrange the seats accordingly too which we called as seating protocol. Moreover, the building maintenance is also very important where the event manager should communicate with the team in preparing the event space and walkthroughs should be scheduled with the officer in charge for any event at which you expect the VIP to attend. Image is the key for every committee and participants that takes part in the event, wearing a tidy attire and making eye contact during talking is a way to show respect and manners to each others. During the communication with a person that has a higher position or professional position, you need to break the ice introducing yourself, talk to them politely and listen to them while they are talking to build your public relation, try to avoid awkward and private conversation to protect your image. Overall, I have learn more about protocol for the class today.

As usual our class started at 1030am, madam greets us with a warm good morning. We have quick recap on what we have learnt on previous class. Today class is quite different compare with our previous classes, the class is conducted in self-learning form where we were given some notes and task that need to be complete and learn by ourselves. Student were ask to read about Audience Analysis slide and video that have been provided in online learning for the first half hour. The other half hour student required to do audience analysis and prepare a draft speech according to the audience analysis that have been done. Madam will be guiding us through Whatsapp if there is any inquires regarding the task given.
From what I have learnt about audience analysis, it involves identifying the audience and adapting a speech to their interests, level of understanding, attitudes, and beliefs. Taking an audience-centered approach is important because a speaker's effectiveness will be improved if the presentation is created and delivered in an appropriate manner. I decided to prepared an informative speech about a trial documentary of Lyle and Erik Menendez since this case provides quite conflicting feelings to people including me.
Overall, I not just learn about audience analysis, but also learn some morals about the case.

Today lesson was about arranging Information and Ideas to form speech. Choosing an organizational style is an important step in the speechwriting process. There were a few organizing pattern that we can use in preparing a speech which were as follows:
1. Chronological - This method can be use on speech in explaining about historical event by arranging the speech according to the logical flow.
2. Topical - The main points are developed separately and are generally connected together within the introduction and conclusion.
3. Spatial - Arranges main points according to their physical and geographic relationships.
4. Comparative - Discuss the similarities and differences between two or more things.
5. Problem Solution - This method is used to share a problem and a solution with an audience
6. Casual - A causal organization style first addresses some cause and then shares what effects resulted.
Before preparing a speech, create an outline as a guide to choose your direction of the speech so the speech will be organized and in accordance to the title. After preparing the outline, prepare a draft for the speech where it consist more elaboration regarding your points. While we are preparing speech, we need to use transitional statement to link all the points that we have such as moreover, next, etc. Summary is also very important that need to include in a speech to summarize all your points for the audience to let them recap and understand your speech.
Everyone also share their experience during speech, there were a lot of us having a bad experience during speech like panic, forgot the points and nervous. The key takeaway was if we are nervous during speech, take a deep breath and prepare an index card for our speech. The index card words must be clear and the arrangement of the card must be in a correct order, putting page number on the index card would be better. I have gain a lot of fruitful knowledge during the class today.

Today there was no webex class like we usually have but we have join a programme on Facebook live which was organised by Pusat Ko-K UUM. The name of the programme was "UUM Menghargai Ibu Ayah (UMI) Melalui Seni: Kasih Keramat". The programme started at 10AM and finish at 12pm. The concept of the programme was spreading awareness in appreciating our parents, they express their concept by providing videos and songs about parents and I really enjoy the show. I have leant that we need to spend some time with our parents and taking care of them although we have a busy schedule. Parents have provide us food, accommodation and love, we have to appreciate their effort by loving them and making them proud. Overall, the programme teach us a lots of morals and it is very interesting while watching their singing performance and also videos.
