The whole night + morning i did not sleep. A big thanks to Effective Communication Skills (ECS) assignment.
I thought of what points to write, how to write and how to present.
After a whole night + midnight of thinking, i came out with an outline.
Format of a Preparation/Formal Outline:
Title: Piano And I |
INTRODUCTION Attention Statement: Everyone knows that human body lives on food in order to survive, but do you know what my soul live on? Purpose Statement: Today I am here to share about piano that takes place on a part of my life. Transition: Firstly, I want to begin with how I started to fall for piano. |
BODY I Main Idea: How I started to fall for piano? A. Supporting Idea 1: At the very beginning, I played piano without knowing the purpose of doing so. Later on as time passed by, I realize why. a. Elaboration/example: At the age of 5, I played piano because I saw other kids played and I was curious so I urge my parents to get me one real piano. Initially I played simply because I wanted to follow. As time passed by, I was inspired by the music piece of piano. It gave me the feeling of happiness and contentment as if the music played had a life of its own. From the heart of love and inspiration, I slowly felt in love with piano and even attended piano lessons at the age of 7. Transition: Next, I am going to talk about what piano brings to my life up to now. II Main Idea: What piano brings to my life up to now? A. Supporting Idea 1: Piano produces music which brings me spiritual development as if it is a food for my soul to live up to this age and it is also an intimate friend of mine. a. Elaboration/example: By playing piano, I can draw my mind as well as heart to peace and calmness. It is an intimate friend because when I am lonely or not in a good mood, piano will always readily be there for me. Transition: Lastly, about the future on how I wish to contribute to society when I grow up. III Main Idea: How I wish to contribute to society when I grow up? A. Supporting Idea 1: I really wish and hope hard that I stand a chance to play music out from my bottom-most of my heart through the grand piano on the big stage with millions of people downstage, carefully paying 101% attention. a. Elaboration/example: I do not want to use my fingers to fee the piano key, instead I want to use my heart to feel every single note to bring wonderful music to the souls of society. As a pianist, I want to let them appreciate music using their hearts, just as how I appreciated Beethoven’s. Transition: That is all for now. I would like to end my speech with a conclusion. In brief, |
CONCLUSION Summary statement: Piano takes on a life time process. It came in step by step into my life and it eventually can play an important role in my life and influence me towards the view of loneliness and emotional issues. It gives me the spiritual fulfilment and at least the direction of being a pianist in the future. Reinforcement of thesis: It is useless if I describe how great and how grand the feeling of piano is without you getting the touch of it. Therefore, you may try moving your fingers on the piano key and step by step experience it. |
Organisational Pattern for Body: Chronological Pattern |
After the outline, then the presentation powerpoint slides and finally the video.
This video took a very long time to be done.
In fact, i took 4 or 5 videos at my own home.
And i got to choose 1 of them as my presentation aid.
After everything was done, i rehearse my speech over and over again. My eyes and head were pain and tired. I took a 10 minutes nap.
Woke up, bathed and got change in my formal wear. Rehearse and rehearse again.
It was time to go to school, gege took me to school. At school i took an hour sleep on the table.
Woke up, practiced on my speech again.
