Today, in this competitive world when many new ideas are evolving every day. It is essential for everybody to be competent with communication as well as presentation skill. I agree that our current generation lacks these skills and to ensure that our future generation is strong with these must skills, we should start giving training from the school itself. This essay will assert few points justifying why speaking and presenting are very important skills for anybody to grow professionally.
The profession could be any like a manager in IT company or product company, politician, scientist at NASA, or a individual contributor in any project, in every day of professional life, you have to prepare a presentation and speak to your manager or supervisor to elaborate your ideas. If you lack in any of these skills, you will face problem in convincing people to follow your thoughts. It is very hard to become representative of company or a town or a country without having good communication skill.
Even, these skills are so important that almost all employers conduct group discussions before hiring a candidate.
Then, the important question is how to become expert with these skills? We learn many of our behaviours or skills either from parents or training institute. Without any doubt, parents are the initial teacher for any kids. Kids learn talking and good behaviors from parents. Once they are grown up and start going to school, responsibility partially shifts from parents to school as kids mingle with many other students in school and participate in many activities like speech competition, annual functions, exhibitions etc. So, the school should add special scheduled training to let students learn and practice presentation and speaking skills in public.
To conclude, speaking and presenting in public are essential skills for all to progress in professional life and school should give special attention to make their students far away from stage fear or presenting in public.

It is believed that unrevealed areas
of the globe should be exposed for.
more resources to fulfill the
need of oil and gas. This essay
disagrees with the view that there
isn't any necessity to open the
unexposed area for Resources. Firstly
this essay will discuss the fact
that the importance of finding an
alternative use of oil and gas and
secondly, discuss the consequences
of these resources.
In present day, the demand of the oil
and gas gradually rising that's why
it's essential to use the areas of
resource which are not searched
yet. But it's really a great
matter of concern that what
will happen while those undiscovered resources will used up? Therefore, it's necessary
to find out a alternative
component of the oil and gas.
For instance, In New Zealand, they
started solar energy as a substitute
of electricity.
However, the result of unleashing
the area for resources will
create a malign impact on environment. Until now, for resources
many trees were cut down,
forests and Jungle are turning into
a desert etc. As a result, greenhouse gas is gradually increasing,
the rainfall is decreasing, many natural creatures are in the face of disappearance etc. If this continues,
one day the earth will end up as
a dust. For instance, while Australia is a developed country, they are facing many natuaral disaster
such as tornado, sidr and flood etc.
In conclusion, in the world of homogenization it's not impossible to find out a alternative way to keep our lives
safe.
