PERSONAL ANALYSIS

I chose the topic about studying abroad because I believed it had a lot of content. Also, I wanted to express my point of view about studying abroad with the hope that my audience would agree with all or just part of the whole speech.
My introduction was effective. Mostly because I started off with a captivating topic sentence about the importance of joining higher institutions of learning. This would prepare the audience to hear more on the importance and easily agree with me on my topic about studying abroad. To establish credibility, I stated the important facts and also the advantages of having to study abroad.
By and large, I feel that my persuasive speech wasn’t the best. I feel that I should have been more organized and prepared so as to deliver the best and be in a position to persuade the audience. Though I was able to get the attention of the audience I could not sustain it although the speech.
In the conclusion I brought in positive energy, I projected my voice and used gestures. I also summarized the whole speech into one sentence which has the whole importance and purpose of the whole speech.
Though not fully, I managed to persuade my listeners to concur with me. During the speech, I observed that they were nodding in agreement and at times they even clapped. This is a clear indication that they were in agreement. My motivational appeals were effective mostly the logos appeal. Giving numbers and facts went along way in giving my audience tangible comparison to the facts given. I also used information that is at the disposal of almost everyone in order to set the foundation of the speech.
The rational appeals also went a long way in persuading my audience. I employed an approach known as convincing proof to help persuade my listeners. I gave an illustration of great leaders who went studying abroad and ended up being very useful and important people in their
