user: How do you play soccer?

assistant: A standard soccer team has 11 players. Each team has 1 goalkeeper and 10 field players. Only the goalkeeper is allowed to use their hands while on the field and only in the penalty box area. The goal of the game is to move the soccer ball past the opposing team and put the ball into the opposing goal. If a player touches the ball out the sideline, the opposing team gets a thrown in from that spot. If a defending player plays the ball out the backline, the offensive team gets a corner kick. If the offensive player plays the ball out the backline, the defensive team gets a goal kick. Typically the game is played outside on a grass field. A regulation game is 90 minutes with a half time break. One main referee and two sideline referees officiate the game. Players are required to wear shin guards for protection. Outside of the United States the game is commonly known as football.

user: what are ways to improve public speaking skills?

assistant: practice, practice, practice! Utilize every opportunity that you can practice, whether a prepared speech or an impromptu one. Effective practices make a big difference. For introverted speakers or who are afraid the stage, the first step is to find a safe and supportive environment to try. Consider joining a toastmaster club. Start by talking about topics that you are most comfortable and familiar with, like yourself! To improve faster, find a mentor or a trusted person to evaluate your speeches and provide constructive feedback. You can also record or tape yourself and watch it afterward. Try to pay attention to the areas of improvement next time when you speak. Be mindful whenever you speak.
