How to Make Maggi Pizza - Demonstrative Speech



Assalamualaikum guys.

As you can see by the title itself, this is my demonstrative speech as part of my assignment for the subject Listening & Speaking II.

For this semester, this subject requires you to prepare and present two speeches: namely demonstrative (showing how things are done, or the process of doing something) and informative (informing people just about anything you want) speeches.

Don't worry about the audience. You just have to do it in front of your classmates. No big deal, right? Well, apart from peer pressure and whatnot.

For demonstrative speech:

You'll be given 7 minutes to do everything that you wish to do in front. Depending on the lecturers, if you exceed the 7 minutes, you'll either have to conclude everything and step down, or just stop where you are and leave the stage. It depends.

Knowing that it's only 7 minutes, you will need to do something simple, easy, fast, yet satisfying and attractive. Nothing fancy though, just normal, typical, unexposed, practical things.

Other than that, you already how to write a speech, how to deliver it, and how to be confidence. I'm pretty sure you all have covered, nay, mastered that part, right? :)

Well, that's all for now. I'll brief you guys next time about informative speech.

Individual Performance - 020P2D Asasi TESL 2014/2015

Hello everyone...

So last Thursday, we had our individual drama performance in Angsana Hall, Faculty of Education UiTM Seksyen 17 Shah Alam. A little bit backstory of this event: it is one of our compulsory evaluation for the Language and Drama subject this semester, which means we have to do it whether we like it or not. But of course, we do like it as we get to be ourselves and freely do whatever we want (anything decent lah) on stage.

And as I have mentioned in the previous post, there are 26 different stories written by each and every one of us where we have to perform on stage in front of everyone (including other classes). So, we were given three in-class rehearsals and almost a month of preparations. After each rehearsal, our lecturer will give us comments and suggestions to improve our play and that helps a lot (considering that he is also one of the best drama lecturer here).

Enough talking, let's check out some of the moments we had that day.

Stage freight attacks everyone everywhere... including me.

Weirdest Theory Ever!

Assalamualaikum. Hello guys.

So today I made a chain of tweets regarding our individual drama performances next week. Basically for our Language & Drama subject this semester, we have to come up with our own unique story to perform on stage individually. And that's what exactly happened.


26 different stories, some share the same concept of either modern or gory interpretation of childhood fairytales, an adaptation of video games while some stick to usual, ordinary storytelling. Well, most of us choose to do monologue. It seems neater and cooler.

With only a few days before the real performance to be assessed and analysed, I have created the weirdest theory ever that we as classmates are somehow intellectually connected.
