3P's of Public Speaking
Public speaking is speaking formally in front of a live audience. This can be giving a speech on a stage in front of
a huge audience or giving a lecture in a class. It is a skill that you master only when you have command over a
language with a pleasing personality and the ability to engage your audience with proper voice modulation. Most
of the people have anxiety and feel nervous before going on stage. Let us study the power of 3P's which will help
us to overcome our fears and make us an effective speaker.
• Prepare: Prepare the content of your speech. Think about what your audience is expecting you to speak and
then plan your content. Make it interesting in such a way that your audience feel engaged and are full of praises
for you.
• Practice: Rehearse out loud your speech before your D-day. Work to control your voice modulation, make a list
of few filler words and plan your body movements and hand gestures. Practice, pause, and breathe. Use a clock
to check your timings and allow time for the unexpected.
• Perform: If you have done the preparation and practiced well, then, half of your battle is won. Just be confident
of yourself and do not feel nervous.

Capitalisation
Capitalisation means writing the first alphabet of a word in uppercase. In English grammar, we cannot decide on

emphasis on certain words used at different places.
Some of the basic rules of capitalisation which we all should remember in our basic writing skills are listed below:
• Beginning of a sentence: It is marked by capitalising the first letter in a sentence. For example: We are going
for a movie today.
• Proper Nouns: Capitalise the first letter of a proper noun like name of a person, place or an organisation.
For example: New Delhi is the capital of India.
