sweat or tremble. I feel that people look at me too much and that scares me

lot and they have the ability to speak. the people who listen to them are
amazed

3. Should people learn how to speak in public?

Yes, I think this is important because it helps to relate to other people and have a
good communication, a message is clearly communicated, we need to express
ourselves well, for example to try to convince a client, or to make a presentation of
our work, when presenting an advertising campaign, etc.

In my country we have former President Alan Garcia, he is one of the best speakers
