Speech Buddies Chapter 5

From watching the speech buddy video’s I noticed that in the first one, Light Pollution, that she would catch herself from talking too fast. Also, she would relate her audience to her topic whenever possible. For example, she knew that her whole class could identify with learning about water and air pollutants, since they learned about it in class. Therefore, she tried to expand their knowledge to a topic related to something they already learned about. In the second speech buddy video on drinking, the speaker draws in his audience right from the beginning, by making a gesture that many college students have seen or have even experienced. He also draws in his audience by relating statistics to his peers. They are the statistics, college students.
