In the past, Billy also had difficulty in memorizing the speech.
But he succeeded in overcoming the difficulty.
How did he make it? Let’s have a look.
3a Read Billy’s diary entry about his memory challenge.
Then complete the table.
Friday, 20 November:
In the past, I always felt stressed when I had to give a speech. I used to spend lots of time trying to memorize my speech, but I still forgot some parts. Last week, I decided to find out what the right way is to memorize a speech. I looked online and asked friends, and I found many useful methods.
I learnt how to create a speech outline. Instead of trying to remember every word of my speech, I remembered the key words first. Then I formed images of these key words in my mind, and linked them in order.
Another method is to divide the speech into short sections. I practised the first section until I could fully recall it. Then I moved on to the next. This helped me to find out which parts of the speech I needed to work on the most.
Finally, a friend told me that I should have confidence in myself. Nobody knows my speech except me. If I do forget some words, I shouldn’t panic. Just remember the key words and continue!
I followed all these great methods and my speech today was a great success!
