i think this song is not suitable for student because public speaking is very important to improve and give more confident while speak english.Other than that the character of the person in the video is very funny and the video also show the real situation among people while presenting in front of public-masarah 12E

Mai, you really should comment under its heading so that later when we want to give you marks, we know where to look.

But yeah, I agree that public speaking is indeed important for students but I don't think the song is asking students to hate public speaking. As you say, it's just showing the real situation - how people feel when they are speaking in public.

reminded me about the class blog that we had last year.cradle of xxii.

public speaking is not all about how good you are in language. it's about self-confidence and self-ability to convey messages, influencing and convincing your audience. it's about your ability to conquer and grab your audience no matter how good your language are, if you don't have all these, you won't be a good public speaker.

relax guys, take it easy. public speaking is easy and fun, if you get the right person to learn from. and i bet you that madam jumani is one of them.

good luck to all...

oooh, sengal ubi, i like your vote of confidence. Anyway, yeah, you are right - that public speaking is all about having self confidence and all. Been wanting to comment that language is just a factor why people hate public speaking and get all queasy and squirmish. Even native speakers suffer from such anxieties and they already know how to speak the language.
Well, amir nice to have your comments. Really wished i taught your class all the way. ?I do you know check up on your cradle of xxii from time to time. I haven't been there in a while but you've juz reminded me to. So expect a visit there. ;)

what sengal ubi said????

If we don't have good language... how can we make other people confidence and understand with what we said.
Anyway,it's true that many people hate public speaking because they don't have a good language.

TRully, a better come from good and a good come from change.
Try it and experience yourself...........!!!!
