What should I do if I keep forgetting my words while speaking on the podium?

It is normal for the poster to encounter such a situation. I once had the same confusion as you. But I'm quickly past that stage now, and I hope my experience can help. One thing that needs to be said is that I think it is impossible to think that other people don’t exist. The more you think about other people not existing, the easier it is to get distracted. Here are some of my experiences:

1. To be proficient in reciting, try to practice in front of the mirror, because when people recite in front of the mirror, their attention is focused on the mirror image, which is the easiest way to get stuck. .

2. You can recite it while walking or recite it on the bus. This will allow you to gradually adapt to speaking alone in a crowded environment and let go of your courage. I have a friend who is like this. He recites loudly out of the window upstairs every day.

3. Connect the contents together and recall them. When speaking on the podium, you can slow down your speaking speed slightly, and try to suppress the excessive speaking speed caused by nervousness, which may lead to interruption and forgetting words.

4. Even if you forget the words on the podium, don’t interrupt nervously, smile, make up the words in your own words, and then link to the content at the end to continue (of course this is not the teacher’s... only (Limited to speeches or reports.) Do not make too many movements. If there are too many big pauses, it will be very noticeable.

5. Encourage yourself more and tell yourself that maybe it will break at this point this time, but I will do better next time. Tell yourself I can do it.

6. Reduce psychological pressure. Making mistakes is normal. Everyone can forgive mistakes as long as they make progress next time!

I hope my answer can help you.
