    • What could the speaker have done differently to make the speech more effective?

    It would have been better if I had spent more time explain the theorem for better and clearer understanding.

    • What did you like about the speech?

    First off, the topic and the general contents directly deal with the current issue related to the youth in Korea. I liked to talk about things that are happening around us. Second off, it was a straight-forward. From the get-go, it is easy to follow and expect how the presentation would develop. Lastly, there were a variety of changes in volume, pitch, and so on as well as pause, which all helped the audience to tell the things that the speaker puts emphasis on.

    • What could the speaker have done differently to make the speech more effective?

    His body language and gestures were very limited and seemed unnatural, which I think is because he had to stay behind the podium for a slide change. Also, I could not quite understand the theorem part, how the theorem backs up his argument.
    • What did you like about the speech?

    His topic itself was very interesting and timely. I think he chose a topic which all of the expected audiences should think about these days. His voice was also very loud and clear, effectively delivering his speech.
