look me in the eyes please? (chapter 9)

In high school, my English teacher made the class write a speech and read it aloud to the class. One of the few mistakes I seen in the classmates, was that they never made eye contact to the audience. It was always staring at their note cards. For giving a good speech, you have to give eye contact, and connect with the audience and always practice before it’s your turn. I always get a good night sleep and then work on my speech or essays. It works best for me to get sleep so my brain can get re-focused.
