The weaknesses of my speech include a shaky delivery and I used the “um” vocal pause on more than one occasion. Towards the end, I became very worried about time so I started rushing through some important parts of my speech and it sounded choppy. In the practice runs, I was under time so I added more and more until it became too much for me to fit into a six-minute period. I did not realize this until I was almost done with my speech because I had done fine practicing at home. I think I added some parts to my speech in the moment that were not in the plan without even realizing it.
Weaknesses: a. My eyes were stuck to my notes more than I’d like, thus I made few eye contact. b. I do not practice enough. c. I need to increase my use of personal pronouns, like we, us and you to make a stronger audience connection. Don’t lose my audience.
The way I improved my paper was taking my instructors constructive criticism and making the necessary corrections, to the best of my ability. I had obvious problems with the comma usage, dangling modifiers, and it was no question that I have to improve my vocabulary. Referring back to the text book and using the Thesaurus definitely helped me make the best revisions that I can make. The most challenging part of this assignment for me was to expand the use of my vocabulary. I know a lot of words; I just don’t use them in my everyday conversation, thus making it more difficult to incorporate in my essay.
This was due to the lack of understanding of research terminologies .These reasons made less confidence in me. Hence, I worked hard to learn about my topic scientific paradigm, but still was disappointed during the ethics committee discussion .After completion of the committee I became upset .Then gradually I felt I can learn more and perform well in next committee
The interview would also put pressure on us by looking at that us all the time instead of writing something down to make it look professional. I would also sometimes speak too fast which showed I was nervous which wasn’t good for the role play we was doing. How we could have improved the interview There are many ways we could have improved the interview for example we could have practice the role play and remembered the lines better. The interviewer could have pretended to write something which would have put less pressure on me which would have made me less nervous. At the end instead of only asking 2 questions I could have asked one more which would look really professional.
Unfortunately we did not have a good dynamic with at least 1 team member which cause a quite a bit of delay and frustration, but we were able to side step this for the most part and push on with the objectives. Things got really bad one particular week and I am glad it’s over I will have to really do some thinking about how to deal with this if it happens in the real world. 3. What did you learn in completing this project about yourself and how you work in a team environment? I work better with people who are of similar thinking, I think that I lead better than follow, and I know that I prefer to work on things alone.
In the MockingJay it leaves off right from the end of the second book. The similarities between district 13 and the Capitol were very similar but the Capitol had the best army. Coin’s motivations became clear, as the rules in district 13 became more strict, I was turning the pages with anticipation as to how this would play out. This part of the storyline had more potential than almost any other subplot, until it just didn’t. And here’s where the momentum of the story started to break down for me.
As I lisened again and again, I noticed I said "ok now" a lot and awesome too.Not only did I say it a lot, but sometimes it was incorrect. For example, when I was introducing Captain America my sudent had not even sared with the presentation and I wa aready saying "wow,it is awesome"I should have said it at the end. I also noticed that some of my pronunciation was wrong, and eventhough it was not accurate from what I heard, my students understood me just fine. Despite they understood me, I know I should still practice my pronunciation. One thing that I also noticed was that the things some of them said sounded rehearsed.
I thought that I would make friends right away and do well in school, but I did not. People were not only very judgmental but they would bully me for being different. At the age of nine or ten I could not understand why they hated me so much. There were many times where I would come home to my family crying my eyes out. It has taken me years to make good friends, but now that I have them I feel ambitious and more motivated.
I had been completely astonished about how much I was already able to read in English on the first try and became the impression, which has since become even more hardened, that the English language offers much more richness with reference to words, expressions and phrases than German does. Books are much more fun to read in English, especially when they have originally been written in English. But then again, after all, I had pushed back the idea of studying English since doing my A-levels because, as all the while, I did not know what I wanted to do later in life and was afraid of might ending up unemployed after graduation. However, during the first three semester as a major in British and American Studies, I have been able to combine my hobby with my studies and it shaped my personality a lot which I honestly did not expect. Generally I had no expectations and decided to just take things as they come.
