  1. Okay....
    This is an interesting topic for me. speaking in public is really hard for students, but by those books the students can see how to improve self confidence when they speaking in public. Believe me, the students lazy to find this book or the book that talk about how to be a good speaker in public speaking. So, you as a writer of book review have to say in your book if the teachers should explain those books to their students to give them motivated to read those books.

  9. honestly rani,..
    you use repetition in your idea that just make your readers including me confuse and uninterested in reading your review. for example, in the first paragraph you write about the identities of the books that you have read but in the body paragraph you, again, give identification of the book. i think it is not really necessary. it is better if you just give that identification in the paragraph which you discusses that book. it is also better if you to give a brief introduction paragraph...thank you rani :)
