Janaina's Vintage Diary: Once Upon A Time...

The World of Fantasies, Imaginations and Adventures! This is a place where one can explore a variety of topics, from cliche things like lifestyle, luxury, psychology to equally cliche things like politics and democracy… I invite anyone to express their feelings, thoughts and opinion. Also, I'm going to use this blog, so to reflect onto my University's Final Major projects and learning.

Speeches Are Unfair!


Year after year silly, sinister, shrieking teachers all over the world force students to get up in front of their classmates and give a speech about any number of topics which are basically meaningless!

Giving a presentation, I would say, is one of my childhood traumas. If I were to compare myself to someone or something, I would definitely compare myself to King George VI of United Kingdom! (The King’s Speech). I would state that my situation is worse than of King George’s VI speech problem! Once I enter the classroom, I automatically start to panic and blush red like a bright red tomato ready to explode!


I find it unfair that tutors make us get up in front of a classroom and make a speech, not allowing us to read from the script! Especially when they know that we aren’t originated from the UK and we aren’t fluent native speakers (of English). In my opinion, International and EU

students, should be given an opportunity as well!


Today, we see that Prime Ministers and VIPs, all read from a script! There are too many facts to remember. The actuality of one standing in front of one million people is not easy at all! It’s frustrating and not tranquil to concentrate! So, if they can read out from the script, why couldn’t we, students do the same? Is it a crime?
