  1. Generic Presentation Evaluation
    Video: unit 4 opinion
    Evaluator: Juyeon Oh

    1.What was the overall purpose of the speech. Try to restate or summarize the main point. How well was it addressed? :
    The topic was about her opinion towards Korea's wedding/funeral culture, and the gift money people pay. Her opinion towards this was to pay according to one's ability and not feel pressured to do pay more than one actually can.

    2.Was there a hook? Was it effective? How could it have been improved? :
    Yes, She started off with a question to the audience how much is appropriate for gift/condolence money in Korea. This allowed me to think about how much I gave in the past. It was very effective.

    3.Was the structure logical? Point supported by evidence or examples? Good transitions between ideas? :
    She presented the reasons behind why such culture has become a burden to Korean people when it is supposed to be a 'gift'. She presented the reasons for people not to feel burdened and also an advice for the receivers to take the kind mind of the giver. The transition between the ideas was smooth.

    4.Was the conclusion concise? Were main points restated or summarized? Was the closing memorable? :
    Her conclusion was very memorable because she emphasised that rather than focusing on the monetary things, people should appreciate people's presence and their minds that truly cares about them at the important dates. The superficial things should no longer control our lives and instead thank the visitors for spending their day at the event.

    5.Did the speaker use enthusiasm, pauses, humor, visual aids.:
    The speech did not use visual aids, but even without them, the explanation was very clear for the audience to understand and it was interesting. She took pauses between the sentences which allowed the audience to understand the speech more thoroughly.

    6.What did you notice about the speaker’s body language? Posture, eye contact, gestures. :
    She used some gesture especially with her hands. They were used at appropriate times to emphasise some things which were useful as it was something that the audience could nodd their heads.

    7.Was the volume good? Did the speaker enunciate and pronounce clearly? Could everything be understood? :
    The volume was good as I didn't have any difficulties in hearing her speech. She enunciated the words clearly which made it comfortable for listeners to understand. It was a really well prepared speech. Thank you for sharing your opinion!
