As we know, many of you are first-timers, so we wanted to give you 3 tips for the next 3 days! We’re sure you care about our opinion, so here you go. Public speaking is an important skill, you might use in the future. MUNs are a fun and great way to prepare yourselves for the presentations or other oratory experiences you might face in school or future workplaces. You are here, which means you already pushed yourself a bit and overcame some worries; we are proud of you. Anyway, let’s cut the small talk and get to the point.
Remember, stress is okay and normal! It might sound cliché, but believe us, the stress doesn't go away even if you're a Mun dinosaur. Public speaking is always demanding, and it always will be. However, we can give you hints on how to make your speech more interesting. Ethos, pathos, and logos are the 3 pillars of persuasion, and if you implement them in for example, in your policy statement, you will catch your chair's eye.
Ethos comes from the Greek, meaning character, ethic, and morality. This rule basically tells you to persuade your audience that you have a credible, trustworthy voice. How to implement ethos, then? You can state your similarities to the delegate, for example, values or culture. To achieve the full of it, be confident or at least try the rule “fake it till you make it”, it works.
Nextly, there is pathos, the part that concentrates on emotions. As we’re people and we feel everything from anger, sadness, and jealousy to love and passion. Using someone's empathy is crucial to proving a point. Sticking to the arguments that show humanity usually works (not for everyone, though there are some heartless people in this world).
Lastly, there is logos, real facts, and data. That's the way you’re going to pursue all the mat-infs. By using logos, you are using a logical appeal, because we must admit that you can fight with science. How to use this pillar? Just do your research.
Implementing these points will guarantee a great speech.
Damn, sounds serious, doesn’t it? Calm down, our next point is for our ironic baddies! Sometimes debates turn into total fails because delegates continue to talk about the same things ( shout out to the fact that sometimes more doesn’t mean better). We beg you guys, it is so boring. Have you ever wondered why people divide into two groups, ones who love irony and the ones who secretly hate it? The answer is a bit brutal, because only the real ones, the og’s, the smart ones are able not only to understand it but also answer it. We expect our sweet readers to be seen as the brilliant ones, right? Don’t be afraid to use the rhetorical questions. Please don’t share your codelegate opinion, makes you stand by yourself. So ask a question to which nobody will find an answer. You won’t hurt their feeling by directly attacking them. Instead, you will lightly make your statement stand out.
Maybe we are writing this tip only because we are slightly addicted to sarcasm (sorry to our closest ones), and we are having the best time hearing others using it. Give us a reason to like you.
The last thing we want to point out is body language. Making eye contact, gesticulating, and having a good posture that represents confidence and sexiness. To all the men reading our articles, listen to us. If you are self-assured and not afraid to take risks, you are going to get the girl you want. You will not only get a girl but maybe also an award at the closing ceremony.
To all the first-timers, we are crossing fingers for you and wishing you a great performance. Don’t give up if you do one thing wrong, don’t compare yourself, and bring out the best of you!
Sending kisses, your fav yappers!
