Good day everyone, for today's blog, I would like to share with all of you my experience during presenting a role-play in Functional English. Before we performed, another group performed first. The topic for this blog is our presentation of a role-play about different speeches. First was the Anchor.
ANCHOR
Scene 1:
Edina: Good day, Philippines! It's 4:45 PM, Saturday, December 27th. I'm Edina Villegas.
Gwyneth: I'm gwyneth.
Edina & Gwyneth: You are watching VV News Tv.
Edina: For today’s headlines, a girl attempted suicide because she didn't know how to cook an egg.
Gwyneth: A young girl got hurt by a firecracker in Naga City.
REPORTER SEGMENT - NAGA CITY INCIDENT
[Edina hands over the spotlight to the on-the-ground reporter, Mary Jhaien.]
Edina: Now, let's dig deeper into the Naga City incident. This unfortunate event happened during new year, turning joy into distress. The victim, a girl we don't know much about yet, got hit by a firecracker. For more details, let's go to our on-the-ground reporter, Mary Jhaien. What's happening there, Jhaien?
JHAIEN: Thanks, Edina and Gwy. The celebration was amazing until chaos broke out. People are saying someone sneaked in and messed with the fireworks, causing unexpected explosions.
Gwyneth: Troubling turn of events indeed, Jhaien. Do we have any updates on the condition of the girl who was hit by the firecracker?
Jhaien: Right now, Gwy, I'm with queencie and her family. Ma'am, what really happened that night?
Mymae(Queencie's Mother): (teary-eyed) It was supposed to be a joyful celebration, but then the fireworks went haywire. Queencie was just standing there, and the next thing we knew, she was injured.
Rodel (Queencie's Father): (angry) Whoever messed with those fireworks has ruined our family's celebration. We demand justice for what happened to our daughter.
Jhaien: Edina, Gwy, the emotions here are intense, and the family is desperate for answers and accountability. We'll keep you updated on any developments in this distressing situation.
Jhaien: That's the latest from Naga City. Back to you, Edina.
Edina: Thank you, Jhaien, for bringing us those updates. Hoping for a fast recovery for queencie. Gwy: Now, let's move on to the weather forecast. Kuya Brix.

TOASTMASTER
The group 1 had finished, and our group was next. Then, we were presented with one of the types of speeches, which was Toastmaster. I acted as the toastmaster, and the event I prepared was about a gender reveal. This is what happened.
Introduction of narrator: The room is decorated with pink and blue balloons, creating an air of anticipation. Over 200 in total of Friends and family gather, chatting excitedly.
1st intro: "I am Fritz Alegarbes, your host for this event."
2nd intro: "And this event is entitled 'A Bundle of Joy.'"
3rd intro: "Toastmaster/Fritz: Welcome, everyone, to this special moment! We're about to reveal the gender of our little one."
Toastmaster/Fritz: Let's welcome Mr. And Mrs. Generosa. Please stand at the center and hold the neutral balloon.
Toastmaster/Fritz: Are you ready to find out if it's a he or she?
"Crowd cheers in anticipation."

Shall we do the honors?
Jose Rene-
Absolutely!
"They Burst the balloon together, revealing either pink or blue papers."
Toastmaster/Fritz
(announcing)
It's a Girl!
"Crowd erupts in cheers and applause."
Daniela-
(smiling)
We're over the moon! Thank you all for sharing in this moment with us.
"Everyone celebrates with laughter, hugs, and perhaps a few tears of joy."
Toastmaster/Fritz: As the curtains draw to a close on this event, I want to express my gratitude for all of your time and efforts. Let's take the energy from today and continue to create beautiful memories in our lives. Once again, I am Fritz Alegarbes, your host. Good evening.
I felt so happy when I saw it on social media at first. I was really nervous, but as time passed, I got used to it. Doing things like this can boost my self-confidence, and I've learned that we shouldn't be afraid to try new things. Who knows, it might be your destiny to lead you to success.
