DLSC - English 2 Questions

1. Your fears of speaking or apprehension

My number one fear when speaking is making a mistake--no matter how small. Mistakes like moving too much, not looking at my audience, and even those little grammatical errors that no one else minds (but I do).

With apprehension, I don't like misapprehending.

2. Your interests (expectations) on topics in English 2

I am interested to learn the tricks of the trade of Public Speaking. Anything to improve my social skills to achieve goals will be much appreciated.

*Since I was absent when this homework was given, credit goes to Ian for these questions. Credit for any misapprehensions too.
