Dear Mrs. Kim,

Most of us if not all of us will have to present in front of a group of people at some time in our lives. The key is knowing your weaknesses and how to overcome them when you are presenting. We all have strengths, but it is important to focuse on your weaknesses to become stronger and well roundend as a speaker. When I present in a class or in front of a group of people I have five concerns.

First of all, I get nervous which I am pretty sure most people get when they are in front of a group of people. Secondly, I get worried about how I will look or come off to people. I want to come off confident which is a big concern for me. Thirdly, I want to speak clearly and sometimes I think I mumble when I am speaking in front of people. Fourthly, I dont think I look people in the eye when I am speaking, and I want to be able to look at people in the eye so they know I feel confident about what I am talking about. Lastly, I want to be know what I am talking about and my facts and be knowledgeable and confident. I want to convey that when I am speaking to the audience.

There are ways to overcome these issues however. To get over being nervous looking straight ahead to the back of the room helps as well as practice and more practice. Practice will help with nerves and helps you become more confident as well. Speaking in front of a practice audience will help it could be your freinds or family. That will help with your speaking and becoming more knowledgeable in front of an audience.

I plan on working on these issues, and hope to be more confident and less of a shy speaker in the future.

Sincerely, Eric Fuehrer
