The National Taipei University (NTPU; simplified Chinese: 国立台北大学; traditional Chinese: 國立臺北大學; pinyin: Guólì Táiběi Dàxué) is a public university in Taiwan, founded in 1949.

NTPU is regarded as one of the best universities in Taiwan, particularly in law, business, public affairs, humanities and social sciences. Approximately 10,950 students attend National Taipei University. It is also a member of the University System of Taipei(USTP).
National Taipei University has undergone different stages of development. It began as the Taiwan Provincial College of Law and Business in 1949; it merged with and became the local Junior College of Administration and the specifically established Administrative Junior College.
In 1961, it combined with the newly established College of Science and Engineering to become Taiwan Provincial Chung Hsing University. In 1964, the Evening School was set up on the Taipei Campus. In 1968 another Evening School and the College of Liberal Arts were added to the Taichung Campus. The University continued to grow in size, and in 1971 it became National Chung Hsing University. In February 2000, the Taipei Campus including the College of Law and Business and Taipei Evening School became National Taipei University.
Honestly speaking, I am not good at giving speeches. But my mentor used to tell me that its very normal to be nervous anytime you address a group no matter how many their are. First try to be confident in what you have to say, if you believe it you can voice it. Next don't worry about how they will judge you, they are their for information not to dissect your every move but you can try to put something in your pocket and hold it with one hand while you talk to help steady your self. Also you can use a horizon line right above every ones head on the wall to focus on as you look around the room so that it appears your making eye contact but your not. If you find your self saying um allot try to make a joke out of it or say your just so rapped up in the fact you just cant decide what to tell everyone next (be exited) and a good joke is also a good ice breaker for the beginning of the speech if you have one to kind of set the mood and gain comfort.
