#6(finally) Personal Enrichment Workshop

This one is about reviewing the speech we gave on the previous weeks, and it was a fun workshop – i really meant it. Well, making a speech in front of the whole class was a bit challenge to me, even though I was only required to speak for less than two minutes. It takes lots of courage to speak in public when you become the spotlight on the stage. I admitted that I was very nervous when I was giving out my speech, but it was fun to review my speech on the video as an audience.  So on November 17, we went to see Professor Sue and she  showed us our video individually and tried to help us improve our public speaking skills. She played the video for my speech for about 30 seconds and asked for my impression of it. I found out that I spoke too fast because I was a bit nervous, but I did maintain eye-contact with my audience which is good. Professor Sue told me that what I need to improve is to take the speech easy, because slow and steady make things perfect. Also, I found out because I have an accent so it is sometimes harder for other people to understand my words, and I really have to pronounce clearier in a slower pace. I said this workshop was fun not because I have to listen my own speech; it is because that I found out what I am good at and what I still need to improve on. So I think when I take my speech class in next semester, I can apply this workshop to it.
