13. The IMAGE of a Public Speaker Tina 曾沛琳

14. MYTH:  To be a successful public speaker, you have to imitate somebody else who is extremely perfect.  Although you try so hard to please all your audience, they still criticize your performance very badly.

15. TRUTH: Just be yourself. Your audience knows who you are, they do not expect 100% perfection, and they will understand the mistakes you make. Your audience wants you to succeed, and humility and humor will definitely do you a favor.humor

16. DISAGREEMENTS: You can enjoy throwing yourself in front of a group without knowing specifically what you’re going to say. → the presentation will totally be a disaster. All Your audience truly wants you to succeed. → Some feel like tricks out of expectation.
