First of all, I am very satisfied with my public speaking results for my previous semester. For this semester I am happy because it remains the same lecturer and group assignment. It will be more enjoyable and easier since we all already know each other.
So for today, it is the first public speaking class for this semester. The first task that we received is a nomination for this semester's club committees. At first, we discuss how to do this voting section and one of us suggested using a google spreadsheet. During the class session, everyone was agreed with that. But unfortunately, the voting process was not successful due to some inconvenience caused. This forced us to re-vote. From this situation, I have learned that communication is very important especially when during the discussion.
Next, our madam explained to us clearly about our assignments. After all, for this semester I really hope that I can be more focused in our virtual class and be good in manage my time. Besides being good in speaking, I really want to improve my grammar especially in writing an essay.

For today's class madam has teach us about protocol. For example, nowadays we have SOP that we need to follow to prevent us from Covd-19. I also learned about event protocols for an invitation. Invitations should be approved by the office of the President before they sent to the boards. In addition, it also has a seating protocol. Reserved seating for speakers or platform party, the VIPs and University Administration, when applicable. If anyone is to be recognized from the audience, ensure that the speaker knows where they are seated ahead of time. Next, the most important is an image. we can say that image is the key. This is the principle of professionalism. Such as your eye contact, the way you shake hands, your posture and many more.
I learn some tips that you need to practice to improve your small talk ability .
•Be well-informed
•Focus on the other person and less on yourself
•Don't interrupt
•Do listen
•Think before you speak
• Always close a conversation before walking away from the other person

For today's class we go through what we learned in the previous class in a fast recap. Today's class is handled in a self-learning format, with us being given notes and tasks to complete and study on our own. For the first half hour, students were required to read the audience analysis slide and video that madam already uploaded in the ol. The remaining half-hour is required to do audience analysis and the preparation of a draft speech based on the results of the audience study. If we have any questions about the audience analysis, madam will guide us through WhatsApp. After all, by 12.30 we need to capture our draft in weebly and send to our group WhatApp. From this task, i also get more understanding about audience analysis, about their age, religious , education and more. I think audience analysis is very important before start our speech. We need to know our audience first.

Madam offered a quick explanation regarding our group task, which consisted of Part A and Part B, after scanning our attendance. Part A requires us to create a video on proper public speaking manners. We can use the notes provided in the online learning platform to help us prepare the video. We must also create an infographic that summarises the main ideas of our video. While fo the part B, we must assign a value to each of our group members based on their behaviour during group discussions. Madam, after the briefing, please allow us to have a group discussion on any platform we wish. So in our group discussion, it is well planned. Everyone give their ideas. We already set the date for the video, and also for the infographic points. After done all the discussion, we need to send the prove to our madam to make sure that every group did the discussion.

Madam open the attendance to let us scan and we start our class as usual at 10.30am . Today we learn about arranging ideas to form a speech. 6 types of arrangement are chronological, topical, spatial, comparative, problem-solution and causal. After all explanation, madam give us one example of speech with the title Childhood Obesity. Madam gives us 5 minutes to determine from the speech, the type of arrangement, the introduction, body and conclusion. All of us can answer very well. From this activity, I can be more clear on how to determine all of these points from the speech. After all, we need to complete our draft speech that we already did from the previous class. We need to make a complete speech. But for me, I already completed our speech so I need to double check my speech maybe can add anything or improve it after what I understand for today's class.

We do not have a class on this date. This is due to the KOK unit held one program named " UUM Menghargai Ibu Dan Ayah melalui seni: Kasih Keramat Sejati ". Madam displayed the Qr code as attendance for today's class before start the event. The event held from 10am until 12 pm. We were able to participate in the programme via a live Facebook stream. The programme's aim was to raise awareness about the importance of honouring our parents, and they accomplished this by offering movies and songs about parents, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Despite our hectic schedules, I've learned that we need to spend some time with them and care for our parents. Parents is the most important person for us as a child. We cannot imagine how our life will be without them. There was also a group of buskers performing traditional songs. They sang a song that was well suited to the programme. Overall, the show teaches us a lot of valuable lessons, and it's entertaining to watch their singing performances and videos.
