Title: What is the purpose of your life? Evaluator: Matthew Sung Date: 2016.10.16
• The general purpose of the speech was clear. 1
The general purpose of his presentation is to (a) inspire people and (b) make them think of his/her own meaning of lives. It was very clear.
• The specific purpose of the speech was clear. 1
He explained about the life of Muhammad Yunus and Grameen Bank which he founded himself. He further developed his speech by presenting on how much he cared about the poor in Bangladesh and dedicated his life to their well-being. I personally learned how much it is important to have a specific purpose in my life.
• The speech organization supported the speech's specific purpose. 2
I think that his organization was well constructed and substantiated. Asking questions to the audience in the very beginning of his presentation was actually good strategy to have them focused. I especially appreciated that he shared the person who had a great impact on his life.
• The main points and supporting material contributed to the speech's specific purpose. 1
Yes, of course. He explained to the audience how poor people in Bangladesh were and thus could not borrow money from bank. They simply had not enough capital to begin their business. Also giving information on the policies of Grameen bank really helped understand the very reason that it could succeed, adapting to the local environment.
• The beginning, body and conclusion reinforced the specific purpose. 3
I think that the presentation would have been better if he had linked back what he learned from Muhammad Yunus to how he set his own purpose of his life.
• The speaker achieved the specific purpose. 1
Yes. I now know who Muhammad Yunus is and how he contributed to the economy of Bangladesh. I, as one of the audience, know get to think about my own purpose of life.
• The speaker appeared confident and sincere, with minimal nervousness. 1
I think that he looks straight-forward. The voice is loud and clear, full of confident. Speech pace is also good so that the audience can easily follow the presentation and understand fully.
• The speaker did not rely on notes throughout the speech. 1
He constantly had an eye contact with the audience while fully understanding what he is saying. It is not than he memorized the whole script, but rather, he knows the topic very well. Maybe he is just camera-shy. Just kidding!
• What could the speaker have done differently to make the speech more effective?
From my point of view, he could have tried to personalize the presentation, talking more about himself. But I guess he tried to be as objective as possible. I think it was also fair enough.
• What did you like about the presentation?
I really like his way of delivering a speech, being consistent and motivational. Having a great role model in life, who can change other people’s lives, is such a nice thing. I wish I had one too.

The speaker explains Yunus' life of helping the poor to like establishing a bank for poor people. He also talks about the specific effects of what Yunus did.

Overall, he was confident on what he was speaking and and frequent eye-contacts through out the speech which was great.

He looked very calm throughout the speech which made the flow of the presentation smooth. Also, I felt that he was very knowledgeable on what he was talking about, which made him look sincere that he admires Muhammad Yunus.
