Week # 7 Participation
a. Define glossophobia.
Glossophobia is the fear of public speaking
b. What percentage of the population is affected by stage fright?
An estimated 75 percent of the population is affected by stage fright and experiences some form
of anxiety before giving a speech.
c. Which top strategy is recommended to combat glossophobia?
The number one strategy to attract high-paying clients is to speak regularly offering valuable
information on how prospects can solve their problems.
d. What is the recommended number of speeches?
It is recommended to make at least two speeches a month as part of your client attraction
strategy.
e. Do you identify with one of the real-life examples of success?
I do identify with one of the real-life examples of success. For instance, Samuel L. Jackson's
early struggles with a speech impediment resonate with my own experiences of overcoming
personal challenges. Like him, I've faced obstacles and worked hard to improve myself in
various aspects of life.
f. Explain your favorite tip from Toastmasters International's First Vice President Margaret Page.
My favorite tip from Toastmasters International's First Vice President Margaret Page is "Focus
on connection." Instead of visualizing the audience naked, which can be uncomfortable, it's
better to connect with the audience by sharing experiences and delivering each line
purposefully. This tip emphasizes connecting with the audience on a personal level.
g. Public speaking leaves little room for error. What does this statement mean?
The statement public speaking leaves little room for error means that when you're speaking in
public, you can't afford to make mistakes or go back to correct them as you would in writing or
one-on-one conversations. You need to be clear, audible, and structure your speech correctly,
all while connecting with the audience effectively.
Photos that bear witness to modern slavery
1. State the central idea.
The central idea of the speaker is to raise awareness about modern-day slavery, revealing the
harsh living conditions and labor endured by enslaved individuals across different regions of the
world.
2. Explain how this speaker combines ethos, pathos, and logos to convey her central idea.
The speaker effectively combines ethos, pathos, and logos to convey her central idea. Ethos is
established through her credibility as a photographer and her direct experiences witnessing
slavery. Pathos is shown through her descriptions and powerful imagery, evoking strong
emotions and empathy in the audience. Logos is shown by the statistics and facts she presents,
such as the number of people enslaved. These elements collectively work to persuade the
audience to recognize the urgency of addressing modern-day slavery.
Does Immigration Really Help The Poor?
1. What type of visual aid does this speaker use to drive home the central idea?
The speaker uses a visual aid in the form of glass jars filled with gumballs to illustrate the central
idea.
2. Identify the central idea in this presentation.
The central idea in this presentation is that mass immigration into the United States cannot
effectively reduce world poverty, and instead, the focus should be on helping impoverished
people in their home countries.
3. State the main points.
1. The speaker highlights the vast number of people living in extreme poverty worldwide,
emphasizing regions like Africa, India, China, and other parts of Asia, and Latin America.
2. The presentation points out that the immigrants coming to the United States are typically not
from the most impoverished regions but rather from better-off poor countries like Mexico.
3. The speaker discusses the enormous number of people living in countries with lower
average incomes than Mexico.
4. The video suggests that the focus should be on helping impoverished people where they live
instead of relying on immigration as a solution.
