2. What did you like about the speech?

What I like from the speech is the speaker personalities. It will make a audience feel
good to keep hearing for his speech. Addly, the speaker have a good intonation and
already make his speech going well.

3. What could the speaker have done differently to make the speech more effective?
Speaker should interact more with the audience to make her presentation are more
enjoyable and not boring to audience. Then, the speaker should have a visual
presentation such as powerpoint to make audience more understand and make his
presentation more colourful.
