Speech Writing Activity

1. Write an Informative Speech about the “Quality Level of Education in this almost 2 years’
time of Pandemic”.
- Pandemic has changed and its constantly changing the world the way we work,
rest and play. Looking back on how things were before, Pandemic is not an
option the challenge and I think the opportunity is to start the process of thinking
about a new normal. In this crisis how do students, teachers and parents adjust
to this new quality level of education having this new normal as a system of
education is not easy there`s a lot of struggles in both teachers and students in
doing tasks, and way more harder for those who is not privileged like cannot
afford online class it is hard for them because a financial problem or lack of
internet connection. The new normal education is coined after the pandemic has
affected education in the past months, the department of education found ways
to commence the start of school year 2020-2021 by means of new ways of
learning modular or online learning. The most agreeable for independent learners
and learners supported by periodic supervision of parents or guardians
homeschooling provided learners with equal access to quality basic education at
home to be fascilated by qualified parents, guardians or tutors who have
undergone relevant trainings, policies and the review. Blended learning allows for
recombination of face-to-face, online and modular learning delivery. We all know
that education is the passport for the future tomorrow belongs to those who
prepare for it today. New normal is very far different way of learnings in previous
year through online blended or fall modular, students should be participate to
communicate their teachers and classmates it`s not easy because other students
don`t have capability to have an unstable internet connection but we can survive
everybody needs everyone of us let`s help each other. Modular or distance
learning homeschooling and blended learning are some of new ways of learning
that found of lipread students, teachers and even parents adopt the major
changes under the new normal, for them the opening of this school year is like no
other they will come this day with mixed feelings excited for another year of
learning, but also uncertain on how long they need to cope up with this new
setup.

2. Write a Persuasive Speech, based on your stand on this topic, “Face to Face versus
Online Class”
- Covid has definitely impacted the way that we interact with the mother for
introverted people, a sense of relief might have been felt on the other hand for
social butterflies having to self-isolate it might have helped open their eyes to see
what they`ve been taking for granted whether it be communicating in prison or
with the use of technology, relationships are still able to be maintained and or
strengthened. However face-to-face interactions as whole do provide more
benefits, I defined face-to-face interactions as being within 14 feet of those
involved and technology immediate interactions as any interaction no matter the
distance between those involved taking place with the use of technology. Face to
Face interactions is note only better for one’s mental health but also provides a
better sense of understanding and importance for the speaker as well as for
those receiving the message. Face to Face has fewer negative impacts on one’s
mental health compared to online class. According to Dr. Alan Teo an assistant
professor of psychiatry, phone calls and digital communication with friends or
family members do not have same power as face-to-face social interactions in
helping to stave of depression. Technology mediated interactions not only lack of
non-verbal cues but also the physical support that would be offered if they were
face-to-face. According to an article, with face-to-face interactions you can see
body language which is an important part of a conversation, facial expressions
often communicate more than words so there is less of a likelihood of you
misinterpreting what someone is saying. When communicating face to face the
use of tone facial expressions, eye contact, and body gestures is used to deliver
or emphasize the speaker’s message. The speaker can either complement or
enforce their message with this cue to ensure that the receiver has a better
understanding, these nonverbal cues are unable to be transmitted through the
use of technology such as texting or emailing one may argue that the use of
technologies can mimic these expressions and other gestures however the
meaning of each emoji can change based on when it’s used or how it’s used with
the interchangeable meanings there is room for misinterpretations to occur.
Although there are many negative impacts with the use of the technology as a
means to communicate it’s undeniable that it has its positives to recognize one of
the main benefits, would be how easy and instantaneous it is to communicate
with those who are unable to meet up to talk to you or for those who are far with
the use of texting and or video calls, for those in different states or other
countries technology-based communication is definitely better than not talking at
all. However, is does not replace the importance of taking the time to plan and to
go on through with these plans to meet and talk together to give the person your
full attention. Technology-based communication is more of a substitute for people
until they`re able to see each other again in person, technology-based
communication may also benefit those who struggles with communication
apprehension talking behind a screen could provide a like sense of security.
Social anxiety or isolating behaviors can use internet to keep in touch with other
humans but the internet does not help them get out to initiate face-to-face
contact. Technology-based communication is only temporary face-to-face, a
person is eventually going to have to talk face-to-face with another person at
least once in their life with using technology as a means to communicate the
anxieties associated with social actions interactions aren`t being addressed, how
would the impact of these anxieties be expected to become more imaginable if
they`re not facing what causes it head-on with that being face-to-face
communication does hold a higher value than technology-based communication
both in person or over the phone interactions still remain valid. However it`s
evidential that face-to-face interactions are more beneficial, face-to-face
communication provides a better understanding for one`s intended meaning by
leaving less room to misinterpretations, as well as the better well-being of one`s
mental health we`re still in pandemic.
