2nd class of Communication Skills.

In this class the secretary didn't prepare the class, so we moved quickly. This day the teacher talked about communication, that not always is the direct language the most important one when it comes talking about anything.

In this class, we watched another video, this time of a person giving a speech on a wedding twice. The first time he never made a gesture and was reading the paper's speech all the time. The second time, he was moving from right to left, making pauses, smiling, making a joke, pointing at the married couple... This was an example about how you should make a speech and how not to. In my opinion, is a big difference between the two of them and I realized that is very important to know how to talk in public.

Later, the teacher sent us an activity in pairs. First, we choose a quote from a pdf and tell it to our partner. Then I have to write about how he spoke, like gestures, eye-contact, etc; then we do the opposite thing. Later, we tell a childhood memory and do the same thing with the quotes.

I'll leave two videos so you can see how important is the communication when it comes to give a speech.

• The first video is the speech of Al Pacino in the film "Any Given Sunday" just before his football players are going to jump inside the field, in order to motivate his players. For me is one of the best motivational speech I have ever heard.

• This second video is the speech of Lizzie Velasquez, I think I do not have to introduce this video because is one of the most emotional speech video I haver ever heard.

In these videos we can appreciate the importance of signs, voices and also the vocabulary they use to achieve their different purpose.
