( fall ) Mr. Danial : First, think about what you want to say, plan your outline, prepare your notes and learn the main points to your speech. ( fall ) Then, when you begin to speak, the words will come to you naturally. Iman : Thank you, sir, for the useful tips. ( fall ) I will definitely apply them during my practice.
