Speaking impressively
This article is intended to help people make a good impression/to convince or impress people with their speech.This article doesn't teach you how to speak,it rather tells what to include during a speech/conversation.now that you know what this article is about,lets get started.
People always remember and get impressed by people who express following during speech/conversation:
- Clarity
- Confidence

- Facts/examples/quotes
If you consult an expert,you'd probably get a list of things to include to your speech.But the abouve mention things are more than enough to make a good conversation.Let's go through the detail descriptions of those:
Clarity
Clarity is the most basic element for an impressive speech,if he audience or the person who listens to you cannot follow/understand your speech,it's going to get bad!.Also to convey a message,clarity of wards is essential.by clarity we mean simple words,in simple language-don't use too much jargons or complex sentence to say simple things.Also clarity in voice is essential, since it'll show that you are happy to do the speech/conversation.
" what is the nature of the reasons behind the reproduction of my essay ?"you can say this clearly "Why did you copy my essay?"
Confidence
A confident speaker,wins hearts easily! ya it's so true,Speak with confidence and you'll not only impress the people you're conversing with but you'll also have a continuous flow of words.People stammer or pause between their speech only because they keep thinking about what they speak.That is wrong,you must speak as if you were just speaking not as if you were recollecting from mind and speaking.Also a confident tone, draws attention to the speaker,makes it look thet you are positive about what you speak and expect the same from others.Bottom line is be positive in voice and words.(remember confidence doesn't mean you shoul;d be arrogant or you should argue)
An example:
"I'm going to have dinner at the hotel tonight,Would you like to join me?" this can be said with a little more confidence,in a more friendly way as "Hey! I'm going out for dinner,are you coming?"
Humor
Humor goes a long way in making your conversation /speech a memorable one.By humor it doesn't mean you crack jokes,it means you say what you say in a fun,friendly manner.You can include short humorous stories to emphasise the fact you are trying to convey.
An example:
you can include short humorous but meaningful stories like the following one:
Four monks decided to meditate silently without speaking for two weeks. Bynightfall on the first day, the candle began to flicker due to wind and then went out. The first monk said, "Oh, no! The candle is out." The second monk said, "Aren't we not suppose to talk?" The third monk said, "Why must you two break the silence?" The fourth monk laughed and said, "Ha ha ha! I'm the only one who didn't speak."
an example of humorous proposal/flirting/complimentation "I think I must be dying because I'm looking at an angel."
The power of humor is that you'll have your listner active at all times and in times when you think your speech is not interesting,you can include humor.People are always happy to laugh!!so Humor is a secret weapon.
