Children Should be Taught to Give Speeches and Presentations in School IELTS Writing Task 2

It must be understood that children are not always expressive and confident which they must develop as individuals. Being expressive is necessary to ensure that children feel comfortable in being opinionated. It is to ensure that they are able to express their ideas, feelings and their knowledge with others. Speeches and presentations are part of the academic culture of schools because it is believed that it provides opportunity to students to express themselves. The core abilities of students are understood even for those who are extroverts. This certainly helps in understanding their abilities and knowledge while providing them the chance to improvise their skills. While many students can work better in a team, it is essential that students develop the confidence to speak individually as well. Moreover, gaining confidence to speak up and share opinions and ideas is not only important in terms of classroom environment. It is also essential that students who are extroverted in nature develop the confidence to speak against wrong actions. It is essential that schools include speeches and presentations as part of their curriculum. Students would work efficiently and study for the same thus, helping teachers to understand the improvements required and provide them with proper coaching. Thus, I opine that speeches and presentations should be taught within the schools in order to boost self-confidence of the students. It is essential to make them more opinionated and expressive.

Being able to express one’s views and share their knowledge makes an individual more efficient as a person. They are able to communicate more with their classmates and teachers, their ability to think expands while they are also able to increase their knowledge capacity. Speeches and presentations need to be part of the academic culture of schools because it provides equal opportunities in participation in different activities. Teachers are able to identify and understand what are the skills and ideas that need to be developed and improved within the students. It is certainly difficult to understand the competences as a speaker when children work in a group project. It becomes essential to focus on the individual ability to speak in front of the class or school and helps in boosting self-confidence. Furthermore, most of the bullies and abuse faced by children in schools go unnoticed and without any proper action. In such situations mostly students are unable to speak for themselves because they are uncomfortable and afraid as well. The ability to speak in public, become opinionated as well as express the ideas and issues of one’s own makes a person stronger. The efficiency of the children is more enhanced when it is endured through presentations and speeches. Extempore speeches can be conducted where students might speak their mind. Thus I think speeches and presentations are valuable aspects which need to be taught to children.

Children need to learn how to be expressive as being expressive helps in becoming a person more confident. Schools can conduct extempore speech activities in relevance to the topics of their course or in general which might help students to communicate with their class. Teachers would be able to understand how efficient a person is in speaking up their heart and mind in front of people. Moreover, improvisation is a great virtue and teachers need to imbibe the qualities of urge for improvement and zeal for speaking in public. Teachers are able to identify and understand what are the skills and ideas that need to be developed and improved within the students. Most of the time children are unable to speak out their feelings and emotions or even any issues they are facing due to their inability to communicate .Many children are bullied and abused in schools which do not come to teachers’ attention because the student was unable to speak about it. When children develop the strength to speak, they would be able to speak against these actions as well. Thus I think speeches and presentations are valuable for children and need to be taught in school for enhancing their confidence and maintaining their integrity.
