Question

descriptive paragraph on the new classmate who joined your class on the first day of the session

Answer 1

Answer:

How do I introduce myself in front of my classmates on the first day of school?

Public speaking is never easy. But it does help that you usually know about the topic you will be talking about: yourself.

A lot of answers are focusing on what you must say, and not enough on how. I am therefore focusing more on the delivery than on the content.

The thing you need to figure out is what you are comfortable to share and what not. You need to share enough so that people can get to know you, but not so much that you are an open book. Not that an introductory speech will give you that much time, under normal circumstances, anyway.

Since a speech about yourself is always about selling yourself, make sure that those points you want your classmates to take in, come across powerfully. While you are not pitching for a large contract or sitting in a job interview, you have one chance to make a great first impression. If you do, like I did once, embarrass yourself, that is the image you will create in your classmates‘ minds about you. So create an image of confidence, even if you don't feel confident. This confidence comes from believing in the message you deliver, as well as your preparation.

Think of those points, prepare a speech for yourself. Practice in front of a mirror to see how you come across. We are often our own worst critics, so observe yourself. Notice the things that make you go “Ugh” and focus on not doing those in your speech. Speak clearly, and slowly. Rushing causes you to make mistakes and appear nervous. Pause at times. It is okay to pause and think about the next thing you are going to say. Stay away from uhm and ahh. Those are called crutch words, and are used often when you are unsure of what you want to say next.

Memorise the speech. Be able to do this speech without having to resort to notes. Focus on delivering your message confidently. Make selective eye contact. This can be difficult, but selecting 2-3 people in the audience that you occasionally make eye contact with will do wonders for the nerves.

There is even some advice floating around, which I don't subscribe to, but some people swear by it: imagine the person you are looking at, in a compromising position. That might make you more relaxed.
