Question

My brother Patrick sat on his bed and waited patiently for me to begin. As I held the speech in my right hand, I felt the page crinkle between my fingertips. I read my speech loudly, but my brother shook his head disapprovingly. He told me I didn’t sound confident enough. With a heavy heart, I knew I was in for a long day of practicing. Write a few lines of dialogue based on this narrative.

Answer 1

Answer:

1. "Okay, Jayden. I'm ready whenever you are," Patrick said. I stood in front of my brother in our shared bedroom, with the draft of my speech in my hand. I nervously rustled the paper between my fingertips.

2. "Hey, bro, I don't have all day!" he added impatiently.

3. "All right. Here goes nothing," I replied, and after a long pause, I read him my speech.

4.  "Here's the thing, Jayden," Patrick began, "If you don't believe in yourself, who will? Read with more confidence, and you'll sound more believable.

Answer 2

Confidence is a state in which a person is clear about her/his decisions and knows the strengths and weaknesses.

• Patrick: ' You have nailed the context of your speech but you are failing to connect emotionally with people.

• Brother: Ohh!! Pat, how do I do that?

• Patrick: You have to speak from the bottom of your heart, be confident and understand the purpose of the speech.

• Brother: But how do I build up confidence?

• Pat: Confidence is like a tool, you need to believe in yourself and the vision that you are reading with confidence, this tool should be used wisely. There are days when you feel to give up, you have to pretend that you have confidence.'

• Brother: You are right Pat, (clears throat, speaks with confidence).

• Pat: The modulation, tone, language used, are all on tempo, indicating that he is proud of this achievements.
