Public speaking is when you talk in front of a group of people. It can be a fun way to share your ideas or tell a story. For example, if you have to present a project in class, you stand up and explain what you did. You can use your voice and body to help everyone understand. Practicing helps you feel more confident when speaking in front of others.
