do's and don ts in public speaking

Do: Create believable characters with real - life emotions and motives. For example, give them flaws and strengths. Don't: Make characters too perfect or overly simplistic. In realistic fiction, readers expect complex individuals.

Do make sure the story has a clear message or theme. Don't rely on stereotypes for character development. Also, do research on the YA market and popular trends, but don't copy other successful novels too closely. Instead, find your unique voice and story to stand out.

Do focus on character development and make them complex and relatable. Don't ignore the impact of the setting and social context on the story.

Parents should do make the comics engaging and fun. They shouldn't do make them scary or too educational. The focus should be on entertainment and bonding.

Do make the language accessible and engaging. Don't include too much adult-oriented content that might alienate the target readers. Also, do build a sense of authenticity in the story world.

Dos in realistic fiction: Create believable characters with real - world flaws and virtues. Use settings that are based on real places or could plausibly exist. Don'ts: Avoid overly contrived plots that seem unrealistic. Don't use anachronistic language or items in a story set in a specific time period if it doesn't make sense.

Do: Depict real - life situations and problems. This makes the story relatable. Don't: Ignore the complexity of real - life emotions. For example, don't just have characters be happy all the time without any underlying issues.

Do be on time for your first date. Punctuality shows respect for your date's time. For example, if you've made a reservation at a restaurant, being late can make both you and your date uncomfortable. Don't talk only about yourself. It's a date, not a monologue. Share the conversation and be interested in what your date has to say. I once went on a date with a guy who just talked about his job and his hobbies non - stop, and it was really boring.

It makes your speech more engaging. People love stories. They can easily relate to them. So it helps you connect with your audience better.

Stories can help simplify complex ideas. For example, if you're talking about a scientific concept, you can tell a story about a scientist's discovery journey which can make the concept easier to understand. By using characters and events in the story, you can break down the complex idea into more digestible parts for the audience.
