2. What could you do to improve next time you speak?
Reflecting on the performance of this speech, to improve my speaking
abilities, I could, or need to keep good eye contact with my audience by
becoming more familiar with my speech, through memorization.
3. What other speeches did you hear that you felt were especially good? Why do you think that the other speech was so good?
It is a fact that many of the speeches that I heard affected me in some aspect. Marissa's speech used many visual imagery in her speech, and eye contact was amazing. Megan gave a remarkable testimony that captured the "wide-eyed" attention of the audience. Also, Matthew's speech was heartfelt, where he spoke about a common factor of all, his family, and an abstract concept that not many people do, farming.
