4th of July Speech
7/11/2012
The fourth of July speech that I choose is Obama Speech. The speech was held in White House building. He was accompanied by Michelle Obama the first lady. They hosted a barbeque party in the white house lawn. While everybody gather in the lawn for the party, He is giving a speech for this Fourth of July in 2012. The topic of his speech is about military “Represent what is best in America”. He thanks military heroes in the Fourth of July celebration. He said that “You serve under our proud flag. You and your families sacrifice more than most of us can ever know all in defense of those God-given rights that were first put to paper 236 years ago: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,”. He is then welcome everybody there for the barbeque and off courses the fireworks. The content of the speech is light and doesn’t contain anything that hard to understand. Simply thanking and naming all the people who become heroes to America and then he invites all the people to enjoy the food and the fireworks. He delivers the speech very loud and clear. He has a very good eye contact, he is reading a note but he keeps maintaining the eye contact to all the people who is coming there. He also doesn’t seem nervous or anxious at all. He maintains the speed of his speech very well and he doesn’t lose his composure when people are giving him applause. The situation there seems really happy and casual. I can see Obama wearing a casual polo shirt and his wife using simple dress. All the people seems happy and enjoying the Fourth of July celebration. My conclusion about Obama speech is very good. It is important to keep calm and maintain your tone and speed when you are talking. The eye contact is very good, He only look briefly at the note and looking back to the audience very quickly. The speech is short and straight to the main point that he wants to thank all sacrifice that has been made by all people. He point
