word well.
c. Rate
The speaker's speaking speed is well, so that the audience does not feel bored
and does not lose the points conveyed by the speaker.

The speaker can control the pause well, but sometimes a sentence pauses
before it is finished.

are important points in the presentation.

correctly.
g. Articulation

eoccation is not very formal.

 The speaker can control the room and appear confident in the movements he

focus and pay attention to the speaker.
3. Yes he does. The speaker apply some filler in his speech such as Filler Words like
actually, literally and exactly and also Filler sounds like um, uh.
4. The speaker can handle questions from the audience well. It because the speaker can
listen to the questions well and the questions can be answered directly, but he did not
confirm the answer to the asker whether the question had been answered sufficiently
or not.
5. The speaker will be better if he can control the pause of a sentence well so that the
sentence is not truncated. Then, in the video, the speaker closes the presentation
before conducting a question and answer session, so that my suggestion is that before
ending the presentation session the speaker should not forget to open the question and
answer session. And it is advisable for the speaker to ask the questioner whether the
question is sufficiently answered or is sufficiently satisfied with the answer he has
given.
