Undoubtedly, public speaking plays a significant role in people’s daily lives in many of the places where they work or play. Some people think that all university students don’t need to take public speaking as an additional requirement before graduation, while others do not. Both sides may have their own reason to support their views. If I were asked to choose one, I would say that the university should require all university students to take public speaking as an additional requirement before graduation. There are several reasons as follows.
To begin with, when university students take public speaking, it will help them cultivate important qualities needed for success. Taking public speech requires them to be diligent, passionate and self-disciplined. When such personal traits are well developed, it is likely to bring a better result in life. For example, Joh, one of my friends did poorly in university. He got distracted easily, procrastinated and acted on impulse. However, he changed gradually after he began to take public speech lecture. He realized that his active participation at speech lecture could help him be more confident, while his laziness could negatively affect everyone. Thanks to his active participation, he started to maintain a good behavior by raising his grades in university. He was able to excel all throughout university and received straight A’s in his classes. Without taking a public speech lecture, he would have fallen behind.
In addition, taking public speech as an additional requirement contribute to an increase in their overall happiness. Taking public speaking gives them a chance to experience something different from what they would do in their usual routine. A new experience tends to prevent them from feeling bored in life. For instance, when my youngest sister was in university, she often felt depressed thinking that her life became an exhausting routine. To survive in a competitive world, she spent the whole day studying all academic subjects, hoping that she could outdo others. Fortunately, she was able to deal with such pressure and stress by taking public speaking lecture. She could mingle well with others through the class and became more convinced. By doing this, she was able to let off some steam. If she had not taken public speech lecture, she would not have been able to escape her boring life.
All things considered, I strongly believe that all university students should take public speaking as an additional before graduation. All in all, the importance of public speaking cannot be overestimated in life. |
