PW Public Speaking Workshop

Dear C1 Students,

These are the finalized dates allocated to your class for PW Public
Speaking Workshop. For those classes not allocated the dates of your
choice, you have the option of doing your workshops in July, but at
a different time (11th July, 18th July from 1330 - 1730). If you
prefer, please look for me personally and I will arrange it for you.

29th August: 09S6A, 09S68, 09S7K, 09S73

What to prepare:

Upon discussion with the vendor, your PW tutors have decided that
the vendor would focus on your oral presentation component of PW as
a PW group. As all of you already have your groupings, it is
therefore necessary that the entire group attends the workshop
together. For students who are unable to make the dates assigned to
your class, you will need to talk to your PW groupmates about it as
the entire group should be changing dates.

When you come for the workshop, come with the material that you have
already gathered for your PW. Have some slides ready, and be ready
to present your work to the trainers that are coming in. The
trainers will then provide you with feedback and they can be quite
critical since all of them are qualified Toastmasters. How effective
and useful the workshop is for you all depends on how ready you are
to treat the workshop seriously and make use of the opportunity that
has been provided for you to run your work through an independent
3rd party.

As with all other core modules, failure to attend will result in the
issue of demerit of points, payment for module and possible
blacklisting for other activities organized by the Affective
Education department. This includes the list of students recommended
for scholarships in the future.

Best Regards,

This is something funny

A mathematician, an accountant and an economist apply for the same job.

The interviewer calls in the mathematician and asks “What do two plus two equal?” The mathematician replies “Four.” The interviewer asks “Four, exactly?” The mathematician looks at the interviewer incredulously and says “Yes, four, exactly.”

Then the interviewer calls in the accountant and asks the same question “What do two plus two equal?” The accountant says “On average, four - give or take ten percent, but on average, four.”

Then the interviewer calls in the economist and poses the same question “What do two plus two equal?” The economist gets up, locks the door, closes the shade, sits down next to the interviewer and says “What do you want it to equal?”
