Speech Quizzes, Questions & Answers

Did you know that when we read we don’t actually cover the entire word in our mind? We use our past experiences to help us identify a word by the place of certain letters in that word, in order to read faster. Imagine if the same principle applied to speech. Would there be chaos because people register words differently, or would we discover that we could talk more in shorter periods of time? And, are we even interested in that?

Take these quizzes to find out more about the act of speech from questions like: “What other forms can the speech take?”, “What is the brain process by which we learn to speak?”, “What kinds of problems are some people confronted with in regards to speech?”, and “How does speech evolution occur across centuries?”

Sample Question
Read the following paragraph. What is the main idea? Very few speakers escape the so-called ‘butterflies’. There does not seem to be any cure for them, except to realize that they are beneficial rather than harmful. The tension usually means that the speaker, being keyed up, will do a better job. Twain once comforted a fright-frozen friend about to speak: ‘Just remember they don’t expect too much’. My own feeling is that with thought, preparation, and faith in your ideas, you can go out there and expect a pleasant surprise.

Stage fright, the sweat of perfection, means the audiences expect too much.

The uninitiated speakers do not experience the tension of speaking in front of the audience.

The speakers who believe in their abilities and practice in advance may escape the butterflies.

The more you sweat in advance, the more you sweat once you appear on stage.
