       Hilary, the presidential candidate of Democrats, has recently performed a real life TV show with Donald Trump and the name of TV show is called Presidential debate. In this "debate", Hillary Clinton with more preparation might have won the "presidential debate". Although Donald Trump has attacked Hillary with different questions such as questions about her mail but Hilary seems have prepared more and defend every question. According to body motions, the strength of evidence and use of language, Hillary Clinton have won the "presidential election reality show for everybody."
   At the start of the debate, Hillary Clinton steps up with a smile on her face and listed the policy she will propose with detailed explanation and a plan. However, Donald Trump did not list that many actual plans besides he will decrease the tax of upper class and bring out more jobs to everybody. Also, Donald Trump avoids the specific ways he will use to get rid of the Chinese's impact on the United States. Both sides have a great use of body languages and Donald Trump has used motions to express his expression which has both positive and negative affect.  However, during rebuttal, both sides did not list to host and continue to express their own idea. For one or two times, it's not a big thing, however, both candidates extended their own speaking for a significantly longer time which bothers the audience. Still, with more policies posted and rebuttal with evidence and data, I believe Hillary Clinton wins the first round.
   For takeaways, Donald Trump did a better job due to he emphasizes his point repeatedly. Although this strategy does help him for reinforcing the information of what he talked however with overwhelmingly too much repetition made audiences bored. Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, listed way too many policies that confuse the audiences a lot. When introducing her policies, Hillary Clinton paid the same attention to every policy she propose with a solid story behind it. However, when she introduces more than 10 policies, normal audiences who did not take notes cannot remember every point she made so she receives a more moderate impression which did not help her. Hillary Clinton lost of gaining attention from audience.
  However, Donald Trump always interrupt Hillary Clinton and host's speakings which bought an impression of rude on him. If he have not interrupt too many times of Hillary's speaking and do not repeat the same information, Donald Trump will definitely win the debate. However, after he done that, I believe Hillary win the debate.

Personal Speech Reflection 9372910373

My speech is not perfect and there is some lack of fluency. Also, when it is a grade related assignment, I often get nervous. For next time, I should prepare more about my speech and become confident with the speech I wrote. By seeing how other people speak, I learnt how to raise my volume and the importance of having a changing tone. I should practice more by using different speech to increase my public speaking skill.

Personal story

      What is your most memorable memory? Is it when you hit a homerun? scoring an important point or just having an A+on one of your test? Everybody have different memories they can think of, however, it is something that entertains you or something that changed you forever. For me, I like to explore, to interact with things that changed me forever, it might be a person, a story, or simply a beautiful scene. However, I am here to introduce some stories, some people I met that changed me. By the way, who am I? I am Zhechen, a small human that want to see more.
     The first person I want to introduce is one of my close friend in my middle school. Similar to everybody, he is really bad at math. The evidence is, he always sleep in any math class so other students called him the sloth. Although he does not usually talk with others, however, his abnormal behavior took my interest which makes me want to know more about him. After several attempts, we finally became friends. Similar to everybody, he is nice, active, creative and he loves to see how machine works. However, what surprise me the most is his knowledge on stock market: he earn all of his pocket money by himself! Sometime, he introduces some stock he believe will grow, sometime he talks about the stock he bought that grow the most. His interest is simple: market investigation. Despite his math is overwhiemingly bad but he is successful on predicting the trend of market. From him, I learnt how to put distribute my money into different stocks to decrease the risk of buying stocks. Meeting him is one of the happiest thing in my middle school.
   The second person is William, the local governor of Cheshire. I met him in town hall's parking lot by delivering a mail for him due to he is not agile. He is really old and have sacrifice his whole life on working for Cheshire. Although he is busy every day planning town developments however he will spent some time talking with me. He likes old musics especially King of the Road and he will introduce town history to me. After several meetings I wonder, why he want to spend his time on student which will not benefit him in any ways? He told me, what he spend is not time but an investigation. He wish his education and the lfie experniecne he told will help some people not walking on some illegal paths. Every time he educate somebody, he receive the happiness from helping them. His perspective of who he is touches me. Everybody have their own perspective on why they appear on Earth and different people will need to walk on different path to establish their own view.
   Different people have different interest and different perspectives. Learning their experiences and their memories is just an enjoyment for me. So, I will end with a recent friend I met on Uber, an Egyptian refugee who believe in three different religion "Life is full of unexpectendency, walk through it and take it away."

      Public speaking, a course that helps students for improving their public speaking skill. Generally, the course is active and teaching information that does help students to have a more confident speaking towards the public. With that in mind, the teacher tried to make the class interesting by introducing interactive activities to attract student that do not pay attention. After five days, students in this class do learn some valuable information such as standing position, tone usage, and dictions.
    In the beginning of class, the teacher requires students to make a brief introduction that tells everybody something interesting about themselves. After the introduction, the teacher and students commented and criticize the positive and the negative on each person. I am not sure about other students, but for me, I realize I need to stand in more stable instead of shaking my body side by side that distracts students. The teacher explained the importance of body language in a public speaking. Having a more confident standing position will send a message of credibility to the audience which makes them trust the speaker more. However, a different body position might make the audience the thinker is overconfident or shy. So, body language is a key of public speaking.
   Ted talk, speeches talked from random educated person to share their ideas, is a great platform to understand how public speeches work. By analyzing different ted talks, students understand the importance of speaking speed and tones that help audience concentrate. For example, there was a bad ted talk about a woman who speaks really slow about the effect of video games. Due to her speech is way to slow, the audience wants her to speak faster. Another example is a person talking about his trip to Antartic and he speaks way too fast that audience needs to focus too much to understand his words. By analyzing different ted talks, students understand the importance of speed of speaking and how changing tone will hep audience focus.
   Moreover, diction using is important. Teacher has prepared an activity of pretending an interview. Each person is required to get interviewed by some random question. To sound professional, words such as um and extreme words should be avoided. Also, the speaker should understand the importance of having a central claim that is not covered by excessive unnecessary information that distracts the reader.
   With two weeks of class, students do understand a lot of factors that might affect public speaking. By focusing on different factors, students in a public speaking class will have a better public speaking skill. In conclusion, the class is an effective class that makes students understand specific skills.

Brain scientists, not humorous, a bit weird accent. unrealistic statistics and not enough credibility. Talks way too slowly and have big breath. Video games and

Very strange body motion, very strange accent. Too much tone changes and her voice is too aggressive.

Ryan: A small accent, moderate voice, personal story. Establish a credibility, have tone and body language. Humorous, disturbing images and become cocky afterward. The information he is telling was not really worth to tell and his attitude is very passionate.

https://www.ted.com/talks/evan_williams_on_listening_to_twitter_users?language=en#t-10346
-Twitter Ted talk; interesting content but a bad speaker
No body motion beside some meaningless hand gestures. No variable tones but a similar tone for the whole presentation. Eyes stare at the same place. No humorous diction or jokes making the presentation more interesting. The whole ted talk is boring and even twitter people commented on him as a bad speaker.

http://www.ted.com/talks/terry_moore_how_to_tie_your_shoes?language=en
-Good speaker Bad content.
With a humorous tone and a normal introduction, his content is worthless. He said he spent his whole life doing in a wrong way on tying his shoelace. Audience spent more than 6000 dollars to watch this which is nothing.

Ted talk 1 VirginiaTech Self-interest
He walks right into the middle and starts with a title and a question. He speaks clear and loud without any pauses.
His hand put on his front, looking at everyone around. Many hand emotion to emphasize, tone values around.
Starting with a familiar example and then with a research. Defining terms in different tones with more examples to make it more interesting.
He has very abundant hand motions that sometime is distracting me from the main theme. He uses humor a lot, very funny examples to make the audience more concentrated. Raising a lot of questions to force people to talk and made a lot of comparisons with a lot of hand gestures to more explain it.

Starting with a simple introduction, my name is Zhechen Wu. As an international student from China, I study in Cheshire Academy since I am a Freshman. My favorite food is Naan, a food that is invented in desert. My favorite sport is tennis and cross-country, but I consider myself as a fat kid which restricts my performance in both of these sports. Still, these sports brings me a lot of fun and memorable experience which further interests me enjoying these kinds of sports.
Each person is considered different because everybody lives in a different environment and learnt something different from their surroundings. With that in mind, I always like hiking outside or travel to different areas to meet different people. What I mean meet is, communicate and share their thoughts, understand what’s their hope in their life and try to maintain a relationship with him (simply friend). So, that is the main reason when I choose to pick a country to study, I choose to come to the United States. No countries like United State have different people, different cultures that are combined and turn into something else. So, the first important thing I will like to introduce is: explore.
The next important thing that comes to my mind is how I appreciate darkness. When I am a freshman here, to be honest, I am really afraid of the darkness that covers the town. Different from urban cities, the darkness in villages or rural areas is so heavy that makes me feel I am simply a weak creature. However, when I start to explore nature, staying in grasslands and desert through a night. I find out that darkness is not something special, it is only a part of nature. Afterward, I find out the benefit of night: alone and quiet. So, it is now one of my hobbits to run during night times in backfield to enjoy the quietness.
There aren't any other things I consider important for me so I will simply introduce something else. Personally, I have some weird traits that might consider disturbing to others. The first thing I wish to introduce is my music choice. I like to listen to any genre of music, however, I hate when music uses vocal sounds as the main soundtrack. Music with a small amount of singing such as using vocal voice as instruments to combine with other instruments is acceptable however songs that use vocal voice from the beginning until the end is not acceptable. So, with such weird hobby, I have no idea about most of the singers and pop culture that comes from songs.

To explore more, I need to have more skills. One necessary skill is public speaking. Although I did not pick this course, but after academic office put it on me, I did not leave the course because there is something I want to learn here: braveness. The braveness to talk with more people with confidence is what I want to get from this class. Even more, I want to learn how to react faster in public areas, how to control my body motions and how to bring useful comments are some specific skills I want to understand.
