B. You will choose only 2 speeches to be presented orally in class. Each speech should be between 5-7 minutes. Since this is an oral communication course, you are expected to deliver an extemporaneous speech based on notes; however, memorized and manuscripts speeches are discouraged as you need to maintain eye contact with your audience. Please make arrangements with your class tutors about presenting your presentation. For oral presentations, students are encouraged to use visual aids. Perhaps 2-3 slides will be adequate to capture your audiences attention, as well as to illustrate and to support your speech. [Total: 30 marks]
