1. Sit straight;\n2. Drink very much water;\n3. Maybe lack of oxygen;\n4. Eat sweet things like chocolate, candy, etc.;\n5. Drink with caffiene drinks like coffe, cola, etc,;\n6. There are some teas that is good for health too and can help not to fall asleep;\n7. Have an exercise, take a walk or jog to circulate your blood into your body;\n8, Try to be alert at class and if lesson is boring for you try to like the lesson and listen to your teacher. The best way is follow when your teacher opens her/his mouth. Body movements of your teacher may help to wake you up.\n9. You must drink vitamins or supplements which are available at any drugstore and eat good and healthy food/vegetables.\n10. Lack of sleep can cause sleepy you take time to sleep 10-12 hours a day and kick out your stress. Maybe you are so stress everyday and you are thinking very much everyday that will finish you energy early.\n\nBut as you said you are going to school at 8 am at that time sun is shinning and why you are still feeling sleepy? Before i had 7 o'clock class and i have to be at school 15 minutes before the class and im waking up at 5:30 in the morning and im still alive and kicking by afternoon but us usual i have to take a nap maybe 20 minutes at what i called holy hour by 1:00-2:00 in the afternoon. I always felt sleepy at this time and im taking a nap only 20 minutes cuz i still have another class after. But i must to sleep early by night you that i will wake up and be alive by the next morning.

"Well, there you have it. Any questions?" And then if you see them daily or a couple of times a week, you can say, "See you tomorrow" or "See you Wednesday." If it's just a one time lecture at a conference or meeting, you can say, "Thanks for giving me this opportunity." And then look over at the person who's the emcee or who gets the mic next. If there isn't such a person. Walk away from the mic and start getting all your stuff together. At that point, you might have some people come up with questions that they didn't want to ask in public.

I am not in that kind of business but I was taught that it is best to start with \n\nGood morning/afternoon...simply because most people don't pay attention to the first words (busy doing something else).\nYou should state whom you are working for too...and the reason why you asking for information.\n\nI am working for......and I am presently doing a survey about...Reason/because is....bla bla... I would appreciate it very much if/ I would appreciate if you could answer my request/ I would be very grateful ..(be grateful..if you want people to help !)

1) Don't read off your notes (or Powerpoint presentation or overhead transparency)\n2) Don't dance around or ring your hands or play with your hair\n3) Talk loudly and clearly (without shouting) and make sure your voice doesn't go too high-pitched\n4) Make sure you look left, right and straight ahead for about 3 seconds each (otherwise people won't feel included and will start chatting amongst themselves, which will make you even more nervous)\n\nThese are the basic guidelines I give my students.\n\nGood luck.

Tell them your name and if it is not a rule to call you 'Sir' or 'Ma'am', tell them what you will be preferred to be called by them. Ask them all their names and perhaps their hobbies. This should make your class comfortable with you a bit. Tell them any rules that you will like your students to follow. You can ask them who came first, second or third in class or who got highest grades or scores in class and who got highest in your subject. You may ask them what they want to gain by this class and why they think it is important. Make this class an introductory and interactive one so that you come to know something about all your students. You may want to note down points for late references.

1) Start with a joke.\n2) Have a clear message and tell the audience  what you will say, right from the outset.\n3)  Speak clearly and slowly.\n4) Look at your audience.  Make some eye contact with different people.\n5) Focus on the issues and do not ramble.\n6) Have a forceful sentence at the end, and say it with your chin up.

PRACTICE.\n\nI recommend doing a mock presentation and making sure you have everything down exactly as you want it, including timing, eye contact, etc.\n\nAlso if you want a long term improvement, you should join ToastMasters, an organization that will help you in this department.

Nearly the most important thing to the content of your speech is that you speak slowly and as clearly as you possibly can.  Also, stand up nice & straight and don't fidget or sloch. Try to project your answer all the way to the back of the room.  Try to use words such as "like" or "um" as little as you possibly can.  Good luck - you'll do great!

There are many questions for you to answer before I can answer yours, such as:\n\nWhat is the speech for? Who is the audience? How long should it be?\n\nThat being said, pick something that is meaningful to you. You shouldn't be too casual, but let some of yourself shine through, your achievements as well as your struggles. Honesty, sincerity and humor really make for a good speech.

Don't stress too much.  I've been to zillions of graduations and most of the speeches are copycat of each other.  They talk about how far they've come, what special memories they share, and how everything will be different in the future.\n\nIt's very difficult to write something new.  If you're trying to be creative, why not write a Top Ten List of some sort.  At least try to get a laugh so they won't zone out on you completely.\n\nEither way, make it short.  Don't rattle on forever.  They'll remember more of a one minute speech than a 10 minute speech.

a short concise and not boring one would do... \n\nLADIES AND GENTLEMENT, I HAVE THE HONOR TO WELCOME YOU ALL ON THIS GATHERING. MAY WE ENJOY OURSELVES THROUGHT OUT... WELCOME WELCOME, WELCOME

Get a bunch of friends over and be real quiet except for right when they finish. Then all of you applaud as loud as you want.
