Good afternoon, dear readers!

1. According to Seligman's theory I tend to consider myself a pessimist . I believe that my bad results depend on my actions, but when I get something I think I'm lucky.
In order to be successful in the field of public speaking, you need to be an optimist. We must understand that something is not working and continue to work on it. Recalling my three speeches, I can say that I am a bearer of a moderately pessimistic style and adequately assess the difficulties.

1.2. My personal results on the course of social psychology (photo).

1.3 I created a prototype of the ideal speaker and compared it with my current portrait of the speaker through a diagram. There are strong differences. The ideal speaker is a very strong person, he communicates with the audience without obstacles and is not afraid to answer questions. I feel strongly influenced by the language barrier and for this reason, my speech may Have pauses or I have difficulty answering questions asked by the audience. But communication with the audience is an important component of a good speech. But there are also advantages. Before preparing a speech I make a plan for it, processing the information so as to convey it in an accessible way, without unnecessary scientific words. (photo)

2. We chose 10.2

3. I. Josephine Lee. I like the smooth pace of speech, medium intonation. It seems to me that this manner of speech is available to everyone. The person does not hurry anywhere, calmly tells the text. There is no clarity here, as in Darren Tay, but this speech, in my opinion, deserves first place. The smooth movements of the hands especially liked the smile on his face. She knows how to control intonation, make pauses. This makes you listen to it. Bright emotions are reflected on the face.

Bright, interesting and emotional examples. Josephine doesn't increase her intonation during emotional outbursts. Unlike other speakers, I do not feel that I am under pressure. The key point of the speech that should be highlighted is that the phrase sounds at the end, as well as at the beginning of the speech. And the end of the speech is underlined intonationally. But other people think it was unnatural. It seems to me that this is how it should be when a person is in control of himself and masterfully presents a speech.

II. Darren Tay started his speech with an example. It was a peculiar introduction, but too expressive. Shouting "Hey, loser" to the crowd instead of greeting is very strange. I like that he addresses the audience, creates a sense of communication with the audience. I don't like that he raises his voice too often, but it's perfect for sarcastic effect. He chose a problematic issue to discuss and emphasizes it intonationally. And the most interesting thing about his speech is its clarity. He was wearing underpants over his pants, which was relevant to the topic he was talking about. And the speaker was not afraid to wear them half the time.When he took them off, it was a structural transition to another stage of speech.

III. Aaron Beverly
I didn't have enough emotions from this person. If there were any, I could feel the tension in his speech and the raised tone. When Aaron had joked he did not even smile then and did not show a reaction to his joke. The speech is dominated by a calm intonation, there are interesting examples from life.The person focuses on some words. But because of the lack of variation in intonation, it is very difficult to listen to the speech and not be distracted.
