Interpretation events involve performance aspects while speaking. Debate involves forming arguments about a topic and then presenting these arguments.

Theater 

Theater is a great activity for those people that feel a little more creative. While the range of roles in theaters varies from small to big, even the smallest part in a play can help to improve confidence. Theater allows you to put yourself out there and practice speaking in front of different groups of people, even if it is only a few sentences.
