Dear Professor,

Lately I have been having trouble with the homework you assigned us for the next class. I have been reading the textbook and also searching on numerous databases but I am still not understanding this one topic. I have been following through on what you have been teaching us in class but this assignment is much more difficult. I have gone through each step precisely but the answer still seems to come out wrong. If possible, could you further explain how to solve problems during your free hours? I would like to be on track with each topic to receive a high grade.

Much regards,

Daniel Yu

I remember listening to many public speakers through out my life so far. One that I can remember clearly was during my senior year in high school. A guest speaker had come to our school to talk about bullying and the effects of it. At first, I was not interested in what he was saying and had no intention of listening. However, there were certain key phrases that he said that instantly caught my attention. If I remember clearly, I think it was because of a personal story that caught my attention. I guess when speakers relate their topic to personal stories, it catches the audience’s attention and makes sure that they are really listening. It was evident that he was a professional public speaker. His words were very clear and he delivered his point across without overusing unnecessary words. He was very calm and and it seemed as if he didn’t have any nervousness in him. He used his space by walking up and down the aisles in the large auditorium and tried to maintain eye contact with many of the students. Although his speech was very long, he mad sure it wasn’t repetitive and he didn’t try too hard to make his point.
