  • When it happened
  • What he/she persuaded you to do
  • Why he/she persuaded you to do it
  • Whether you did it at last


When it happened


It happened about two years ago, when I was in my final year of college. I was quite unsure about joining an online public speaking course because I felt nervous speaking in front of others. At that time, one of my close friends encouraged me to give it a try.


What he/she persuaded you to do


My friend, Riya, persuaded me to enroll in a short public speaking and personality development course. She told me that it would not only improve my communication skills but also boost my confidence during interviews and presentations.


Why he/she persuaded you to do it


She knew that I had good ideas but lacked confidence to express them clearly. Since she had already completed the same course and seen positive changes in herself, she genuinely wanted me to overcome my fear of speaking in public. She believed it would help me in both my academic and professional life.


Whether you did it at last


Yes, I finally agreed and joined the course. At first, I was very nervous, but after a few sessions, I started enjoying it. By the end, I noticed a huge improvement in my confidence and communication. I still thank Riya for persuading me to take that step — it truly changed my personality for the better.

1. What impact does advertising have on children and their parents?

Advertising has a strong influence on both children and their parents. Children easily get attracted to bright visuals, catchy songs, and popular characters shown in ads. They start demanding those products, which often puts pressure on parents to buy them. This can sometimes lead to overspending or unhealthy habits. However, when advertisements promote educational toys, healthy food, or positive values, they can have a beneficial impact on families.
