ENGLISH CENTER - Adib Haiyan Bin Dasuki is another promising young speaker preparing for the 5th Highly Immersive Programme (HIP) 2025 public speaking event. His chosen topic, the International Space Station (ISS), reflects his curiosity and interest in science. However, like many young learners, Adib initially struggled with confidence. He was pretty shy and hesitant to speak in front of others, unsure of his ability to deliver a speech effectively.

One of Adib’s strengths is his reading ability—he can read English well. However, during his first practice session, it became clear that he spoke too fast, making it difficult for his audience to follow. This was a challenge that needed to be addressed. To help him improve, I guided him to focus on pacing, pronunciation, and clarity, encouraging him to pause and emphasize key points.
A turning point in his journey came when he practiced for the first time in front of his classmates. Although initially nervous, he gradually became more comfortable as he saw the support and encouragement from his peers. This experience boosted his confidence, showing him that he had the potential to be a great speaker with the correct technique and practice.
With continued effort, Adib is now learning to control his speed and deliver his speech more effectively. His journey proves that confidence grows with practice and that even the shyest students can shine with the right motivation and perseverance. By the time he steps onto the HIP stage, he will impress the audience with his knowledge of the ISS and his improved public speaking skills.
