Public speaking is much like giving a presentation or reading of a prepared speech. For example a presidential candidate has to be a well rounded public speaker. The candidate has to make sure they are being politically correct. This is why a candidate has a speech writer. A speech writer is a person who is hired to prepare and write the speeches that will be delivered by another person. A speech writer can also be employed to write for weddings and other special occasions. A conversion on the other hand is an informal talk between two or more people in which news or ideas are exchanged. For example my boyfriend never picks up after himself around the house. So I will have a conversation with him tonight when he gets home. It would go something like this. Shelby: ” Hello how was your day”? Boyfriend: ” It was a long day”. Shelby: ” I’m sorry to hear that.” Boyfriend: ” no big deal I’m going to take a shower and watch the game.” Shelby:” I was hoping to talk to you about splitting the chores”. Shelby: “Since I work and go to school, I dont have the time to get everything around the house done. ” This conversion probably didn’t go as planned! However, whether we are talking in front of a class, group,or at a meeting, we will all have to speak in public from time to time. Learning to be a good public speaker can boost your self confidence. It is just as important to know how to conversate with someone. During real conversations, we take our thoughts and ideas with another person. Public speaking is more important as it builds and improves your knowledge. It helps you work out how to communicate effectively with others as well makes you understand your content that much better.
