19 JUNE 2009 FRIDAY
MARINE PARADE TMC
Project Evaluation of P1 speech:
Strengths of the speaker:
(1) Fluency
(2) Good language use e.g. flamboyant, arduous
(3) Well-organised: speech followed chronological order of life events from birth, family, studies to marriage and toastmasters
Areas for improvement: (using the acronym ACE)
A Attention-grabbing speech title – keep it short and sweet
Avoid preamble – “This is my first project.. There is nothing special about me…” Launch straight into your speech and don’t put yourself down!
C Conclusion – End on a strong note, for example, use a quotation or share words of inspiration.
E Expression of emotions – only smiled twice during the speech, otherwise deadpan expression. Express anxiety when talking about ‘tough years’, express delight when talking about an ‘exhilirating experience’.
Voted Best Evaluator for the evening. I like the use of acronym for my points. Makes it easy for me to remember them. I believe the audience likes it too!
GEMS:
Speak clearly, correctly and creatively.
(alliteration, assonance and triad - a 3-in-1 rhetorical device. Powerful!)
Be insatiable in learning; be tireless in teaching.
(Use of parallel structure. Beautiful!)
