*raises a glass of Coca-Cola* Choosing the title...


It has all came down to this. The most crucial moment of them all. The one that will determine whether you are facing an inevitable downfall towards the bottomless abyss that is failure  or going to climb the luxurious, exquisite stairway to success.

Choosing a topic for your demonstrative speech.


If I don't make it tomorrow...

I should stop being so dramatic and just get straight to the point. As we were instructed to do, we have to derive the topic of our demonstrative speech from our interests. Therefore I will list down a few topics that I might take into consideration of becoming the topic of interest for my demonstrative speech.

  • Music
I have mentioned before that I have the keenest interest in music, but unfortunately I am the most terrible when it comes to the instruments and all. Therefore, I have to sadly cross out instruments tutorial from the list of possible topics. I can't possibly demonstrate how to actually sing in the proper way, but I can learn that over the two-week break, through YouTube videos and all. I can - at least - try... I will take that topic into consideration. How to choose music for the right kind of situation? Nah, I don't think I can do this one. It'll sound more informative than demonstrative... In conclusion, I might not tackle a topic regarding music. Reason : Remains confidential. File closed.

  • Writing
I got C for English 1119 Writing so scratch this one, bye Earthlings.

  • Literature
I can talk about 'how to choose the right book', 'how to write a story', 'how to write a poem' but I don't have the skills. In addition, how am I supposed to make a demonstrative speech out of something as subjective as these literature subjects? For example, if I were to tackle the topic of methods of writing a poem, I'm almost certain that it'd be almost impossible to conduct a demonstrative speech on it as everyone actually has a different view on different matters - as people see different things from different sides of the spectrum. In a nutshell, this topic can actually be done but it will be a struggle for me to tackle it.

  • JUDGING PEOPLE'S CHARACTER
Aheyyyyy this looks like a topic that I might be able to pull off actually. I have a book on how to analyse people's character and I can derive a few information and tricks from the book to be shared with the audience. There are a few methods of it - from star signs to Chinese zodiacs to palm reading - and I guess I can take bits and pieces from each of it. I believe it is quite an interesting topic that can attract the audience's attention, and at the same time get them to participate in the presentation as well. I just need to find a way to interact with the audience to get them involved to avoid the speech from turning into a one-sided informative speech, which is definitely off the rail tracks.

  • Coca-cola
Hmmm, I think I can pull out a demonstrative speech on how to do pranks using Coca-Cola? *evil laughter*

  • Photoshop
It might take a lot of time, and my laptop is definitely not in a good condition for me to demonstrate a Photoshop tutorial. I fear it might crash and shut down mid-presentation. How any more disastrous a demonstrative speech can be, hmmm? I wouldn't want to test that out by bringing my laptop to the front again.

  • Tumblr
Hahahahahaaahahaha NO.

  • Merempit
Good Lord, how am I supposed to demonstrate a 'weekang' trick in the middle of KPP3???!!

All in all;

The topic is still yet to be decided and I will not rush into it. I really want to present something interesting and I will not rush into deciding the topic. But so far I have a topic that I think will suit my mischievous spirit animal.

Spoiler: It'll involve pranks. *creepy wink*
