Impromptu Speech

This last week we had our impromptu speech. Everyone had a different opinion about it. On the one hand, some of us were very nervous about this task; however, on the other hand there were some people that were very excited about it. As the class began, I felt nervous because the teacher said that he had changed some topics. The second person that passed to the front had to talk about dinosaurs. There was where I became more nervous. Then as people passed I felt more relaxed and finally it was my turn. I had to talk about hobbies, everyone said "it's an easy one" and I thought the same. I began talking very good, but for a moment I forgot how to say a word and then my nerves came back. Finally, after some seconds I continued with another sentence and then with my conclusion. I think this task was a challenge for everyone, but I think that most of us enjoyed it.

Almost Over..

This is week 15, so we are just missing this week and the next. The task for this week is to finish the Final Paper. I chose to talk about: "Cellphones: Lovely, but risky", because I think that they provide us a lot of advantages and that they are great tools for us, but we must know how to use them wisely because "everything in excess, causes damage". I think that must use these devices just for necessary tasks and not every time we are with our family and with our friends. Next week, we are going to have our impromptu speeches. I think it would be the most difficult task of the semester for me.

The Effects of Gadget Use

This week we had our problem speech. I talked with Marce about the effects of gadget use. Our main causes were innovation, marketing, novelty, and peer pressure. The future negative effects that we saw on this problem were the isolation of people from society, the tendency to confuse between the virtual and the real world, possible addictions, and physical harm. Finally, after thinking very fast because Marce likes to finish work quickly, we consider as possible solutions to expand the no-use technology places, to increment socialization in schools, and also to reduce gadget use on the new generations. It was challenge to create this speech in just two days and to practice it with a partner, because we dont have the same hours for going to school, but at the moment of saying our speech, I think that both of us enjoyed it.
