Imagine that you are in school, giving a speech to your class. Now think what it feels like when stammering makes it a struggle to communicate your thoughts and feelings to other people.

The King's Speech, which won the best picture at the Academy Awards in March, 2011, focuses on stammering along with other speech-related problems. The movie tells the story of Britain's King George VI, who became king after his brother Edward VIII gave up the crown to marry an American woman.

As a result of British actor Colin Firth's performance, people are starting to realize that stammering can damage a person's self-confidence and cause him or her to escape from life.

"The serious problem is unseen and unheard," said Norbert Lieckfeldt, an expert at the British Stammering Association, in an interview with a news reporter.

"Stammering masks your ability," he said. "It's a serious disability."

Most stammerers face bullying in school, something that is "usually carried over into the workplace".

George VI's stammer took away his confidence as a speaker. But Samantha Mesango, a speech coach based in the UK, believes that speech problems are more common than most people realize. "Some simply don't like the sound of their own voice; others are scared of speaking in public," she said.

Travis Treats from St.Louis University praisedThe King's Speech. He said it shows that "how one's speech does not mean what one is inside". He also added that people who stammer need to be heard and our society should recognize that they have a lot to give to the world. What are the answers to this following set of questions: 1.

Chapter XVII. Foo-foo the First.

Miles Hendon hurried along toward the Southwark end of the bridge, keeping a sharp look-out for the persons he sought, and hoping and expecting to overtake them presently. He was disappointed in this, however. By asking questions, he was enabled to track them part of the way through Southwark; then all traces ceased, and he was perplexed as to how to proceed. Still, he continued his efforts as best he could during the rest of the day. Nightfall found him leg-weary, half-famished, and his desire as far from accomplishment as ever; so he supped at the Tabard Inn and went to bed, resolved to make an early start in the morning, and give the town an exhaustive search. As he lay thinking and planning, he presently began to reason thus: The boy would escape from the ruffian, his reputed father, if possible; would he go back to London and seek his former haunts? No, he would not do that, he would avoid recapture. What, then, would he do? Never having had a friend in the world, or a protector, until he met Miles Hendon, he would naturally try to find that friend again, provided the effort did not require him to go toward London and danger. He would strike for Hendon Hall, that is what he would do, for he knew Hendon was homeward bound and there he might expect to find him. Yes, the case was plain to Hendon--he must lose no more time in Southwark, but move at once through Kent, toward Monk's Holm, searching the wood and inquiring as he went.
