Last Ted Talk
In this semester, Public speaking taught me a lot of confidence to talk in public which means in front of people. I am actually happy to be in public speaking class and it encouraged myself to go out and have a confident on things that I did not use to have. Most of my classmates helped me to improve in and outside of the class which improved my English skills as well. I tried to do my all homework and tried to participate every class as much as I can to get a good grade in that class. The first days when I came in to class. I thought this was going to be the easiest class but it ended up being one of the toughest because writing 500 words blog just makes it harder. I hated to write 500 words because it was too much for me because I am as a person who can write certain amount of word about one topic . So that's why sometimes I struggled to write blog post and I needed to make something up to finish my word count. I really had fun and achieved my goal from first day. I was struggle talking in public and in front of a lot of people. I won and I can talk with people easily and explain things better. Our teacher helped me to improve a lot with her feedbacks on my talks and my speeches helped me to improve faster and stronger. At the end I feel like I improved and show all my effort and finished stronger. Now I can actually go out and do speech because I got that confidence on me which actually a pumps me up. I wish this class continue for longer because I wanted to improve my grade more because I needed . I was in average of 82 which I wanted to get above 90. I tried hard but did not care enough I guess. I should've study more and improve more which would put my grade higher so I would success on this topic. At the end my Ted talk was really good and some edited made it better than how it was. I tried to made it look like real Ted talk. So I would get better grade. In my Ted talk I remembered all my talk and I was happy to remember all of them. Now I hope I will do good in the end quiz to get better grade and improve myself. I wil do my best at that to success because that's all I need so far. It is going to be my last test of this semester.

How to make my Ted talk better
I started to write my Ted talk like weeks ago. I had some ideas about my topic for what to write and how to support it. I gave a lot of examples to support my idea which is to hard work beats every situation even the worst ones. I used real story examples of players who had a bad life experience at their past life. So I have a good topic which I can support it with a lot of examples. However I need to add something and show a picture of those players so the audience would recognize them. I should show a video of their experiencences which would help them to realize them by seeing it other than hearing it. I should be more specific on the things when I try to explain the topic. Also I wanted to inspire them to work hard and try to make them a good athletes. So people have to inspired by my talk. That is my goal so people would want to work hard for their sports. There are a lot of things that I have to work on my Ted talk because giving example is not enough for a person to inspire. So I need to find different ways to make my talk inspired. I am thinking about giving one of my life experience to make them empathy over something that would happen to random person. So that's how I would improve my talk.

Hard work
Professional players
Nowadays most of the professional player all around the world have bad life experiences when they were young. For example, Messi when he was young he suffered from the disease which would not grow him properly, he had to use some injection which would help him to grow properly. So he would have play his sport which is soccer. As you know in soccer you have to be tall enough to play as a forward. According to Soccerplayers.com the average forward in soccer has to be 6 feet tall. However messi was 5’3. That’s why he had to use those injections to continue playing. Most important thing from this story is that Messi did not give up and keep playing until he succeed. Thats one of the reason that he became professional. His hard work and confidence helped him to become the best in the world. There are a lot of examples of professional players who suffer when they were young. These days most of the athletes thinks that it is so easy to become professional but they have to work harder to become better so they would have better opportunities to become one of the best. For example, New generations athletes give up when their work get hard. Thats why most of the athletes quit in middle of their career. I recommend them to work harder and follow those athletes who worked hard to become soccer player. If you ahva e an idol which works hard enough to become the best at his sport. You can be like him to be the best at your sport and everybody would respect you. God only gives to people who work for it. If you don’t work you don't get credit on the things that you do. If you want to become a soccer player you have to work hard. Did you know that Cristiano Ronalo worked for 10 hours a day to beat one of his team's rivalry. His idea is to make history over other players. That's how he makes history all the time. Also Jimmy graham from football had a bad life. For example, when he was young. He got adopted and his dad left him on child care place with amount of money. However he didn't give up and went to high school and played basketball for the school. Then he played football and selected to play in NFL. He became professional because of his confidence and hard work.

Brainstorming
OMost of the professional players inspired from their life experiences.
For example, Messi had a problem that he could not grow properly, so he could not play soccer but he did not give up and started to use what he had to use to grow that are medicines.
Another example that Cristiano Ronaldo can not get that support from his family to go play soccer. His dad never trusted that he would play soccer. He always worked by himself. Brought soccer balls where ever he want to go. He practiced everyday.
They all inspired from their experiences to become the best players that ever made. People always judge them for how they are playing but people should empathy for their experiences and what they have done.
Their hard work is the key to success on their sports.
Those athletes success because they do not give up. They try their best and embrace their injuries or things that push them not to work. They do what ever they need to do to success.
Those athletes inspire people to work hard and do better for their interesting sports.
For example, Cristiano Ronaldo who scored goals always dedicate to their father because he died when he was young.
Also in the basketball these things happen too. For example, Lebron James could not go to college he needed to play basketball so he could not get enough education.

The Peter Pan
I am a person that does not like to go to theatre. However I have been to theatre when I was young because of my mother who loves to go to plays in Turkey. She always wanted me to go to theatre all the time. I always ignored her but I should've go and see the different theatre plays to learn things. This time it is one of days that I wanted to avoid to go to play. I was not excited to go and watch it in the first time. Then I had to do it to not to get f for my class. When I first arrived, I though the theatre would be bigger than how it is now. I realized that the players had not enough place to act clearly. I felt sad because those actors would make good thing there. However when they started to act. I actuall liked the play. I was so surprised that the play was really interesting. I thought it would not be as close as how professional act. In the play actors acted so good that I had to congratulate them after the play. The play was about Peter Pan and three children of two parents who live in the third floor and has a dog. That dog knew the deal and tried to stay in the house but the dad of their kids had to take the dog out. Then Peter Pan comes in the house and takes everyone from that house and teach them how to fly by using that magical dust. When they arrive in the other world one of the other kid shot the Wendy by using his arrow. While she was dead other kids came there and cried for Wendy. She asked them to make a house for her. Then everybody made a house for her. Then she just came back to life. Everybody was happy but there was a problem that the hook was trying to go after Peter Pan and those kids. Those kids were wanted to have a mom and they picked Wendy as a mom but Peter Pan got jealous and started to complain about the things that he wants to have. So he wanted them to leave and go to place that they use to live. While they were going back, hook was waiting for them. So kidnapped all of the kids that wanted to go to house. When they were on the ship, hook wanted them to go and die by tiger. They sent one of the pirate to check and see how is he. While he was checking he could not get back because he was dead. Then Hook wanted to go by himself but his lighter got blown. So it was time for those kids to go and die. He sent all of them there and they all screamed. He left the Wendy and wanted to put her in the ocean so she would drown. While he was doing it, all the kids came there and started to fight against the Pirates. They killed all of them and hook was still fighting against Peter Pan. When Peter Pan took his sword, they started to talk about having mom and how wonderful our mom is. All of a sudden Hook just killed himself by jumping in the ocean. Nobody even care about him and everybody acted like nothing happened at all. When they came back to their house everything was different but their mom was waiting for them to and missed them so much that she thought that she was dreaming. In conclusion it was really good play. Also I recommend people to go to the next play. It would be better.

Ted Talk
There are a lot of Ted talks you can find on Internet or attend them in certain places if you want to. In Ted talk there is only one speaker who talk about the topic that he has. He explains those topics to audience or talk about the problem of that topic and explain how to solve them. For me interesting ones when they talk about technological or new species that they find under ocean or above ocean. It sounds cool because there are a lot of them that you do not even know. That's why it sounds interesting for me. Most of the speakers have presentations that they can show to keep everyone's attention on one thing. Most of them use colorful images so people would understand and enjoy with the pictures. Speakers use that to hook the attention of that audience. So people can not lose their attention and can not fall asleep. That's what you need to have before you do your talk. You should prepare a presentation so you will keep everyone's attention on the topic. It is really good tactic to affect your audience to interest on your talk. After a while you will try to give a real example so the audience would have an idea of what you are talking about. When you talk you have to eye contact with people so they would think that you are looking at them and they would like to listen more so you would keep them in track. Then you have to stay on the track so they would understand the topic otherwise if you talk about different things than what you supposed to say then they would lose the topic. If you follow these steps you would probably success on your Ted talk. You can search on Internet and watch how speakers use their presentation. So you would have an idea to how to use and how to keep everyone's attention while using these things. If you did all of them you will have a good talk. Then everybody will interest on your topic that you want to explain. Then everybody would follow your talk and you would get fans. In conclusion those steps would led you to success to become a good speaker. There are more details that you would like to follow that would help you also. For example you have to specific when you talk because more you clear more the audience get to listen and understand. So you should be clear when you talk. Do not breathe like you are about to choke. Try to breath smooth so people would not hear your breath. Also try to keep in same emotion. If you try to change your emotion people would get confuse on your topic and your pacing while you are doing those talks. That's why try to keep on track. After those steps you will become a great speaker.
