Comparison

Sad to say, there are few differences between my first speech, and my last. However, with my first speech, you could tell that I was very nervous. I also said 'um' a lot. I played with my hands and rings a lot throughout both speeches; that is something that I really need to work on. Also, in my last speech, I was very fidgety. I played with my hands, rings, and also my clothes. I did improve on becoming less nervous. In my final speech, I also finished with an ending statement, instead of 'that's it'. I feel like I am getting better at speeches, but I defiantly have a lot more work to do.

How to Speech

For my 'How to Speech' I decided to describe how to make brownies. I believe that the more speech's I do, the more comfortable I become. The first speech, I was really nervous; but by this speech, I'm almost not nervous at all. What I did well, was that I looked at everyone in the class. I also think that I was better at describing my project; and speaking clearly. I also didn't play with my rings at all. I probably didn't play with my rings as much, because I was using my hands more.

What I need to work on is learning how to start and end my speech. I still end with "that's it". I believe I end with that because I'm not sure of what else to say. Also, during this speech there was a lot of silence when I was mixing the batter, etc. I need to work on thinking of more things to talk about during my speech, so I don't bore my audience.
