Speech Buddy: Review Drinking and Light Pollution
Videos on the Speech Buddy website in accordance with Chapter 5. Respond
to each video. What did the speaker to well? What can you learn
from watching these videos?
After
reviewing drinking and light pollution videos on the Speech Buddy website in
accordance Chapter 5 I found some commonality in the purpose of these
speeches and the purposes of these speeches are persuade the audience about
something and to show the way how to reduce the risk for the environment.
In the
light pollution video is a very good introduction where Courtney Stillman
described the problem of pollution and urged the audience to immediate action.
This video was duration only 38 seconds and in this video I could analyze only
introduction. In the drinking video the topic was well-prepared and there
was the introduction which attracted my attention because the speaker used a
statistics to show me that drinking can cause a fatal automobile accidents and
I'm a driver and I have to know and estimate the situation on the road and
probably predict what can happen if somebody will be drunk, but my father
couldn't do anything when he was as a passenger in the car and the driver of
the other car who was drunk crashed into the front of the car where my father
was sitting. I agree with the speaker that we have to think about people who
are around us. He showed a good statistics and he used a credible source
such as the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration. I liked
the speaker's research about variety of problems with our body.
From
watching these videos I can learn how to make transition between different
parts of the speech, how to connect introduction with the body and to lend to
the conclusion of the topic. Also I think is very important to show the goal of
our speech in the introduction and to catch the attention of the audience
through the story or statistics and we have to show the main problem, why do
they have to listen to me and we is this topic so important for the audience.
Thats a great thought that people should not think about only themselves but the people sorrounding them that this will affect. I also liked the use of facts and statistics. It made the speech more credible and just made it seem more important than if he would have told us. A good source to cite I think is also important and shows the audience that you actually thought about what you were doing and know what you are talking about because there is something there to back you up.
ReplyDeleteHello Sierra,
ReplyDeleteI'll admit that the introduction for the drinking video caught my attention too. It does catch attention, but it also seemed a little corny. In response to your thoughts on the drinking video, I too agree that one needs to be aware of others when out. I thought the speaker for the drinking video had good sources too, and to state the sources is definitely important. The use of statistics and factual information can add leaps and bounds to ones speech. Of course not too many, but they do make for a more effective, well-rounded presentation. Courtney's introduction also gave me more of an understanding of a good opening paragraph. Thanks for sharing your viewpoints and good post.
