Speakers

         There were times when I experienced a good speech.  It actually was just recently that we had an oral project in our microbiology class.  A student, who has previous teaching experience delivered an awesome speech.  Her posture was good, she was not slouching or nervous at all.  Her body language tells us she is ready, and she got everything down.  She maintained eye contact at all times.  She had lots of illustrations, examples of her disease, and very good definitions.  Her organization of ideas were very interesting.  It helped the class to pay attention.  She had a small quiz at the end of the class.  It made her oral presentation interesting.  

         At that same class, there was a girl who gave a speech where I can tell she was very nervous.  She had no eye contact, and I can hear her voice shaking.  Maybe she was so nervous that she messed up on her facts and definitions.  It wasn't very interesting at all.  In fact, it was kind of hard to understand.  Her head was always down, and she seemed calm, but her voice was hard to follow.  Her tone was like a robot, and she talked very slow at times.  It made it hard to concentrate on what she was presenting.
