ILLUCTIONARY ACT

CONSTATIVE

 A conversation between a teacher and student on public speaking Teacher: Well Rohit
Sharma, I hear you are taking part in the speaking competition. Student: Yes, Sir; and I
came to ask you to give me some hints o n the art of public speaking. Teacher: With
Pleasure, Rohit. Have you prepared your speech? Student: Yes sir; and now I am learning
it by heart. Teacher: Oh! But that is a great mistake. Always carefully prepare what you
want to say, but never learn it off by heart.
 A conversation between a teacher and student on public speaking Student: But why sir?
Teacher: Because when you are speaking, you should watch your audience to see whether
they are following what you say. You can see by their faces whether they understand and
are interested; and if they are not you can win their attention by adding, or emphasizing,
or changing something. But if speech is learnt by heart, you can’t alter it. Student: But it
seems so much easier to learn it. Teacher: It is not so in the end. Memorising is a great
strain. Also, if you forget one sentence, you may break down all together. Student: Well,
I might manage if I could have my notes with me when I speak.

PERFORMATIVE
 A conversation between a teacher and student on public speaking Teacher: At first
you may take a short note of outline, or main points, of your speech, lest you should
forget; but when you get used to speaking in Public, it is best to do without notes
altogether. Student: But if I don’t read notes, and must not learn my notes by hard,
how can I remember what to say? Teacher: You must prepare carefully, and think out
what you want to say; and learn the main points or outline, of your speech. Then,
when you get up to speak, you will find that the words will come. Student: But I feel
so nervous when I have to speak.
 A conversation between a teacher and student on public speaking Teacher: That is
natural, especially at first. But as you get used to public speaking, you will overcome
that. Even practiced speakers often feel very nervous before they begin to speak; but
when they get on to their feet, they forget all about it. Student: When I am nervous , I
think I speak too fast. Teacher: Well, you must practice speaking slowly and
distinctly. And don’t shout—it starins your voice and prevents people hearing you;
and don’t speak too low. Just speak naturally, so they can hear you. Student: Thank
You sir for your hints. I will try and follow them. With a few changes
