  2. Hey this is Jin:) your classmate and your teammmate as well. First of all it was surely a great speech. i really loved it.
    Here are some comments about it:
    1. your voice and your intro was great and very catchy! i really liked the hook, and how you carry out the whole speech fluently.
    2. i did know about the book, but was not sure about the author herself and how she lived throughout her life. it was a chance to learn that as well. The amount of information and the focus of the speech was clear.
    3. Your eye contacts to the audience, and your determination was nicely conveyed, and the markers for changes in the content were good.

    It surely was a great example of the speech! really enjoyed listening it. Thanks for your presentation:)

    I was really fascinated by how you delivered your speech. The emotions on your face and your speech tone made the audiences to be more immersed. I didn't know a person named Liz Murray, however after listening to your lecture I was able to know how courageous and brave woman she was. I also liked your starting, how you asked us to imagine as well as your ending remark, "You can do it by making new moment into new possibility just like Liz Murray". However, I thought it would have been better if you made more eye-contact with the audiences. You kept on gazing at the upper-left side. Also, for the audiences who do not know who Liz Murray is, I thought it would have been better if you showed a picture of her.
    I really thought that I was at a speech contest. It was a memorable speech.

    1. Thank you for the feedbacks!I also noticed that I was kept glancing at the upper side whenever I think what to say next.I should make more eye-contact while delivering the speech.Also, about showing a picture of Liz Murray,I think that would have been a good idea too.

    Self Evaluation
    Through preparing a speech about a person I admire, I was able to learn more about how to organize my speech. In addition, I also learned more about Liz Murray, a person I introduced in my speech, in detail.
    While I was preparing for my speech, I had a hard time finding a nice opener for my speech. With an obsession that I need a nice opener to catch the audience’s attention, I spent a lot of time thinking about how to start my speech. After making several changes, I eventually found a nice way to start my speech. Also, I had worries about speed. Since I tend to speak faster when I get nervous, so I tried my best to manage the speed of my speech. It was hard at first, but by making pauses and gestures to slow down my speech, I was able to successfully manage the speed of my presentation.
    Even though I have made English presentations before, I was very nervous before filming the video because it was my first time taking a video of my presentation. Although I practiced my speech several times and worked out ways to effectively deliver my speech, I noticed some bad habits I had after watching my video.
    First of all, I kept glancing at the upper-left side of the room. I didn’t notice this while I was making a speech. I think I kept doing this bad habit so that I could remember what to say next. Since it is a bad habit, I will have to try not to glance at the upper- left side and instead make more eye contact with the audience.
    Second, as one of my classmates mentioned, it would have been better if I used visual aids while making presentation. At first, I thought delivered without any additional materials will make my speech better because I get to focus only on the speech. However, since most of the classmates didn’t know about Liz Murray, it would have been better if I showed some pictures of her.
    Furthermore, I could have improved the content my speech. It would have been better if I added more information connecting Liz Murray to myself. My speech would have been more interesting if I added my story, not just about the person I admire.
    In conclusion, this self video assignment gave me an opportunity to learn my bad habits by looking at my presentation video.I was also able to learn a lot by looking at other classmates’ presentation.

  6. I was really impressed with your presentation overall, especially how fluently you delivered your speech. I could see the confidence you had in yourself, so it was comfortable for me to listen through what you were saying. The speech's content itself was also very attractive, as I could learn about a woman who fought through a harsh surrounding and win over. Your facial expressions and hand movements also helped me to focus on your words. However, I think you can use more various gestures. I noticed that you tend to use the same gesture constantly, and maybe if you vary it, it may not only support your speech but also make others concentrate more. Except that, I personally really enjoyed you presentation from the start to the end. Thank you for your speech!
