Today was the day that we had to perform for our Speaking & Listening Role Play assessment. The plot was set out as being a court trial questioning the innocence of Friar Lawrence for providing Juliet Rosanna Capulet the potion that was appeared to be the cause of her death.
I had to take upon the role of the prosecutor, speaking for the House of Capulet against Friar Lawrence. And personally, I KNOW for a fact that presentations and speeches and performing is definitely not one of my strong suits. Having today as the first time ever that I had to role play for something made me even feel even more nervous than any one of the presentations I had to do before.
The problem that I have during the trial was when the judge questioned me on Friar Lawrence's letter to Romeo. Having not thought of that earlier and not even anticipating it, I was really really scared and nervous and just decided to blab out anything that was actually able to squeeze into my mind which was just completely flooded with confusion and nervousness at that moment. The other problem that I think I faced the most was trying to think of something right there and then which was probably the reason why I couldn't follow up with most of the witness's points.
Overall. I thought that I did.. merely satisfactory, despite knowing that speaking in front of a crowd is definitely not my strong suit, I do think that I can do better than how I performed previously.
