Date : June 3, 2017 Evaluator: Jeonghaeng Lee Speaker: Hayoung Lee Assignment Title : Unit 5
1. What was the overall purpose of the speech. Try to restate or summarize the main point. How well was it addressed? The overall purpose of her speech was to introduce to the audience about her miraculous happenings in LA last year. She thinks miracles do happen and that we shouldn’t be afraid of what will happen next. By adopting a story telling method, her speech was well delivered to the audience.
2. Was there a hook? Was it effective? How could it have been improved? She started her speech by asking, “Miracles. Do you believe in miracles?” It was an excellent hook because I desperately wanted to know what she thought of, the moment I heard the question. After she tells the audience what she thinks, she naturally goes on into her speech, with all the audience clinging on to her hook. I don’t see a thing to improve here.
3. Was the structure logical? Point supported by evidence or examples? Good transitions between ideas? Well, she was telling a story of hers, not introducing a scientific process. So I can’t say if she was ‘logical,’ but she did have her own stories of experiencing miracles (I say these are her ‘evidences.’), that led her to believing that miracles do exist. She was very smooth with transitions.
4. Was the conclusion concise? Were main points restated or summarized? Was the closing memorable? She ended her speech by summing up the story she had just told, saying she believes that god will transform things into miracles for her. This was quite memorable. I also liked how she told the audience to stop worrying, be joyful, and cherish the moments to come.
5. Did the speaker use enthusiasm, pauses, humor, visual aids, No visual aids, but totally comprehensible without them. Didn’t need them to make her speech better. She was excited to tell her wonderful story to the audience, and did use pauses when needed. (Like waiting until the audience answers her question.)
6. What did you notice about the speaker’s body language? Posture, eye contact, gestures. Her eye contact with the audience was the best, but her posture might have been better if she didn’t have her hands folded from time to time.
7. Was the volume good? Did the speaker enunciate and pronounce clearly? Could everything be understood? Yes. All the requirements were met. Thank you Hayoung, for a wonderful speech, and what a semester we’ve had!
