Testing, testing, do you receive me... edit

You don't actually read your messages, do you mate? ;)

Of relevance to your Model United Nations teaching resources... v:Topic:Communication (Wikiversity) might be of interest. There's something about public speaking here on Wikibooks. Also found this on Lifehacker.

I.e., there's not much, but if you start something, others will likely take an interest. I can give basic help on structure. Try not to get distracted. --Singkong2005 talk 06:55, 20 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
