    People express and assimilate insights through mutual conversation, for instance, in academic or commercial gatherings. Should university students be supposed to take a public speaking course? For my part, not every student will benefit immediately from this course; it depends.

    Admittedly, public speaking training administers to the necessities of a part of students. For those whose prospective employments-as TV presenters and teachers-are accompanied by frequent verbal interflow, one will play a vital role. Additionally, even in the scientific academic meeting, a fundamental discourse skill is indispensable. Some students major in science, nevertheless, ponder much rather than speak, which causes inferior competence of speech. Apparently, researchers acquire essential supports and feedbacks only if they explain ideas explicitly.

    However, different people have different situations. They are distinct from a variety of majors and career requirements. Sometime demanding them to learn this subject increases their pressure. To illustrate, students studying computer maintenance mostly test applications and output reports. They rarely speak to herds of people. Therefore, for those pupils, attending unnecessary class occupies valuable time used on major disciplines.

    Undoubtedly, neither to cancel this course nor to make it to be obligatory is wise. For some it wastes time, while for others it works. To achieve a maximum advantage, the school can set elective common speaking classes. This policy neutralizes those drawbacks; it redounds not merely to those students required for subsequent development but to those intending to make more practice if time allows.

    In conclusion, whether a public speaking course is conductive to pupils or not depend on specific situation. It not necessarily suits those who seldom speak among groups if time limited. To make a compromise, the university can set some elective courses for cultivation of different levels of public communication. That would be better for them to choose according to their situation and ability.
