The first chapter of this book gives the reader a background and tips on public speaking Public speaking is one form of communication. Public speaking is used when a speaker delivers a message to an audience, and this skill is one of the most important skills to master for a job. This skill originates from the city of Athens, where they spoke out about policies and their beliefs. Throughout the chapter, what I found significant is the process of delivering and preparing a speech. This is due to my lack of knowledge on doing so.  However, I found it interesting when I learned that the language used in a speech is more rhythmic and uses a simpler language. The act of purposely putting in rhythm did not cross my mind. This section of this book has allowed me to see public speaking in a different perspective.
