Oral Presentation（self-evaluation）

Cherrie

     What’s the most nerve-wracking and challenging course in this semester?  I do believe that nine of ten people in this class will say, “oral training”, you bet!  Though the love story between Jane and Rochester in the course of Fictional Studies makes us dizzy, compared to oral training, studying Jane Eyre is a piece of cake. 

     During the semester, we have been pushing to discover and explore our own potential again and again.  For delivering a fluent and convincing speech, I try my best to memorize what prestigious directors said in interviews.  For presenting an engrossing and professional interview, Carly and I spent almost two weeks composing the dialogue.  I think that’s the most unforgettable part in the course.  Though I was exhausted at that time, I still cherished the opportunity to enhance my speaking ability and polish my speaking skills.  Besides, not until being trained as a flight attendant, did I know my voice is soooo “fake.”  But I know it’s impossible for me to be a fight attendant unless people in the world do not care about women’s appearances and figures anymore. 

     After a series of intensive training, though I’ve progressed a lot, there is still much room for improvement.  And now, I pay more attention to the choice of words when speaking.  Just like Jo said, don’t say “cheap”, but “affordable”.  Don’t use “they broke up”, try to say “they went their own ways.”
