Speaker

What the disaster was

How and why it happened

Which tip the speaker should have remembered

The speaker only spoke English and his audience only spoke Chinese.

He was doing a tour of Asia and he assumed the audiences would understand English as the organisers knew he couldn’t speak Chinese.

Tip 3

The speaker arrived a bit late. He went into the women’s toilet by mistake and had to wait a while to get out. He was nearly late for the talk.

There were two doors with words on them in Hungarian, but no signs. He didn’t speak Hungarian, so he looked at the words and decided that one of them was the men’s toilet and he went in.

Tip 5

The equipment she needed – a video player – wouldn’t work at first.

She wanted to show the audience some good ideas for using video in the classroom, but the video player wouldn’t work. She hasn’t checked the equipment before the talk.

Tip 6

Her skirt fell down as she was speaking.

When she was getting dressed, she put on a silk skirt and as she was doing it up, the button at the waist broke. She didn’t bother to change because the skirt had a zip and she was in a hurry. As she walked backwards and forwards across the stage, her skirt fell down.
