Tips for Lecturette Preparation
- Start practicing to speak in English.
- Speak with your friends, family members in English or talk to yourself only!
- Read newspapers and increase your general awareness about the most common things which could be asked also which are of national and international importance.
- Take sample topics like UNO, Indo-Pak relations etc. and give yourself a preparation time of three minutes, then mark with a clock or take anybody’s help to monitor three minutes time and give a lecture on your chosen topic.
- If you feel shy in giving lecture in front of any family member, then simply stand in front of the mirror and speak, trust me that help a lot!
- The topics given will be of different levels, like one will be of really high level, the other being slightly lower and so on. So choose your topic wisely.
- Choose only the topic you are well aware and conversant with, choosing a high level topic will not impress anybody if you’ll not speak well on it.
