If you want to become a better speaker you certainly need to concentrate on improving your communication skill. However, increasing your general knowledge will help you to achieve your goal too.
A great way to do that is to find out more about the history and origin of words you use. Not only could that become an interesting anchor point for one of your speeches, it certainly gives you a cutting edge in any private or professional conversation when you can occassionally let your knowledge sparkle through and earn respect from who ever you talk to.
Today, let's find more about SUDOKU - one of the most popular number games, not only in Australia but the rest of the world. Invented in the United States in 1979, it was originally called "Number Place". Its popular name SUDOKU dates back to 1984 and derives from its Japanese version called "suuji wa dokushin ni kagiru" meaning "a number can occur only one time." As you can imagine the name was too long for a game that can quickly be played and therefore was shortened to SUDOKU.
With so many financial reports to be given these days how about making a splendid entry refering to SUDOKU and a number that can occur only one time? Try something different, dare to be better! Good luck!
