Out of class speech critique

In this assignment, I attended the speech by Julia on November 16th, 2015 in Baker. Her speech was a part of the international education week. It was about (Untold Stories of Those who cross our Borders). There were a lot of students also attended in this event and most of them are international from different countries. The event was attended by a lot of people at different ages. In fact, that made the event more diverse. Before they started their speech, they have offer cookies and coffee for the audience as starter for their speech. Also she they asked us to walk around the hall and and see some picture which were about the some immigration experience.

Before she started her speech she told us the background of the immigrant. She gave us a brief history about the people who came to US in the past and faced the immigration problems. In fact, the speaker was confident and her speech was well-organized and structured. As a result of that, it was reflected on the audience trustworthy of the speaker and also made them learn and understand the speaker`s point. Julia mentioned many stories that are related to the immigrants and refuges she talked about an immigrant that had to move from his country because of the war that has separated his family apart and his life changed since he became an immigrant. She had also mentioned that the man got a very good job opportunity in Ohio. She had used in her organization principle of parallelism and she used the same sentence structure in every beginning of the story by introducing the audience of the person behind the story she is telling.

To have a great narrative the speaker can collect information before the speech by interview other people (Nelson, Pearson & Titsworth, 2014). That was exactly what Julia, she …show more content…
Many aspects in this speech Julia used when she spoke. In fact, I really enjoyed in this event and I learned many things. For example, International students who have F1 visa could not stay at US more than ninety days without study except the summer. So, this was new information. Also, I had improved my knowledge about the speaking skills such as delivery and organization. Moreover, I learned the perfect way to present a presentation. I have to move between the audience when I speak in the speech. One of the important point I have learn is if I have speech and I use PowerPoint or videos I have to coordinate my sentences when I speak with the power point and videos. In addition, I have to show the audience my body language and my reactions when I talk and avoid hiding behind the computer.
Conclusion
To sum up, the speaker did a really good job. She uses more than one method when she presents the presentation about the immigrant. The style that she follows was very clear. In fact, her voice plays a big part of her speech and makes the speech very interesting. She organized and delivered the speech successfully. I still remember the point that Julia discuss in her speech because until the end of speech he use the key word to remind the audience about what he talked about. In general, Julia did a really good job when she presents the speech and she did it in the perfect

While words may only be a vibration of vocal chords, they ring out in a harmonious way that compels others to listen. Many historical people, such as Martin Luther King and John F.

She spoke up about the unlawfulness, the unfairness, and the mistreatment they faced, hoping and waiting for better.
