Yes sometimes it's important to be seen and heard making a statement so it's on record - and making it for that purpose only - which I guess is what the Queen is doing.<br /><br />Keith mentions the problem of sight reading.

I've completed a manual of interpretive readings at my Toastmasters public speaking club (a great place for practising). I got feedback saying I didn't look as if I was reading so the technique seems to work!Dorothea Stuarthttp://www.thelondonspeaker.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3553440626649035970.post-21820712326173686512009-04-23T14:58:00.000+01:002009-04-23T14:58:00.000+01:00Max
