Be yourself! That was his whole idea of the speech and he definitely dressed up for it.
Keith's speech was good. He was comfortable with the space around him because he walked from one end of the class to the other. He did not neglect any corner of the audience. However, his nervousness appealed a little in the beginning as he stuttered through his pronunciation.
These are the minor things that brings down a good speaker but Keith has improved a lot compared to his first speech. If we were to look at how persuasive he was, it wasn't that convincing to apply it to everyone. That's because of his content structure. He didn't arrange it well and information he said was already known. There weren't additional content that could twist our minds to believe that we should be ourselves. Nevertheless, he delivered his details well for the audience to grasp what he says.
But I like the end of his speech, where he used his aunt and uncle as an example. He asked his aunt about when his uncle first farted in front of her, and it was the first time they met itself.
I think Keith should really take time to look at his topic from different perspective. He might find an approach where to trigger people's reaction towards his topic of "Being Yourself." Even though his content weren't strong but I could see that he really practices what he preach. From the beginning of the speech itself he was showing his personality.
In general, Keith impressed me well enough to remember him during his speech and for me to write this review. So yes, for him to be himself during his speech somehow persuaded me that he was being himself.

Totally agree to ANGELINE :)
ReplyDeleteand i found that the topic was a great one:) especially when he has a character of himself. Different from others (and its not easy to come to college with his hair that way :D)
But, i found that Keith walked a little bit too much in front. He walked right from the left to right too much. In short, he could really stand still for a minute :)
Good Luck!

Keith’s oral test
ReplyDeleteI think Pinto was much more confident today and he has really improved a lot. Keith was so nervous and always he has been worried before even presenting the speech and he has not done very well before. After enrolling to this subject.. Oh MY GOD Pinto is really doing a very good job in all his speech these days. I like the way he delivered the speech bout maid today. He didn’t hesitate to speak out from his heart. He dressed well and he was organized. But I think he should listen to the audience point of view and not only focus on Indon maids. Cause maids come from different countries. Not every maid is from Indon. Pinto you have to stop walking from left to right to much.try to stay still and speak calmly my dear..
