How to make Anchoring...

Dear students,

I would like to suggest you how to make the role of anchoring and how easy it is after all.

As a potential student of Engineering you should also know how to play the role of anchoring. If you are able to take up anchoring in any function like freshers day or seniors day or during the time of any college cultural party, you will certainly enhance very good communication skills. A good Communication skill in English is very essential now to get a good job. So have this brief method to make the role of anchoring.

At first:

--> (say) I Welcome to the auspicious occasion of today's fresher’s day party(or any other)to all of you...

-->Next- I feel it my honor to perform the role of anchoring before all of you (or) I feel so happy to share this pleasurable time with all of you...

-->Next- In this joyful occasion we will have a lot of fun & entertainment. Before that we will have the greetings & messages of our Honorable Principal, H.O.D.& our distinguished staff. Let's make it a great time for all of us. Shall we? (students say yes)

-->Next- Invite all the guests to the dais like this:-

* (say) Now let me invite all the guests of today's function onto the dais.

1. First I would like to invite our honorable Principal (Prof.......) to come onto the dais, take his respective chair. Please come sir.

2. Now I take the pleasure of inviting our beloved H.O.D (Prof.....) to come onto the dais.

3. May I request (name of the faculty) sir to come onto the dais & take your respective seat.

4. I feel it my honor to invite (name of the faculty) sir/madam to come onto the dais &take your respective seat. (like this invite d guests onto d dais. O.K?)

5. I feel it my immense pleasure to invite Prof. ...................... to come onto the dais.

-->Next Invite one of your senior classmates come to the dais, sing any cultural song (or)"vandemataram" song (or) any other song to begin the program. (a girl student is preferable here)

-->Next:-Request your principal first to give his message or to share a few words with all of you.

Say like this:-

Now I request our honorable principal sir to share a few words with us.

Later H.O.D, staff.

(after their message, say, thank you for your speech/ message sir.)

-->Next invite a few students also to the dais if they want to share their views. (Don’t neglect this one.O.k?)

-->Later you can start your cultural programmes. Okay?

-->If then your Principal, H.O.D. want to leave the place, don't forget to thank them for their visiting your function.

Just say- We thank you for your presence in this party sir.

-->That's how you can make the anchoring role in a very simple way.

-->While doing anchoring, don't forget to maintain smile on your face, and don’t showcase any tense, anxiety on your face.

--> Use simple English. Need not to speak difficult words or sentences.

That's it. Just make an attempt in any occasion. Anchoring role is a kind of skill that lessens your stage fear, makes you a special student. Of course, you will become the center of attraction among all the students. It is pretty easy to do in fact.

So, are you ready to do it?

Yours,
