3) 55% non-verbal( hand signal,eye contact etc)
verbal impact (4 points)
1) use terms that your classmates are familiar with. Eg..when speaking to the scouts , use "patrol leaders" instead of "squad leaders".
2) use simple words if possible.Eg.instead of"i am contemplating"try saying"i am thinking".
3) simplify your staement unless you meant to be descriptive.eG."due to the fact that the size of the room is too small, some boys cannot squeeze in"actually you mean" the room is too small for the boys."!
4)avoid excessive use of words like "Okay","you see","well" etc.
