Notes:
Be very careful about the pronunciation of your important vocabulary of the topic. I
couldnt clearly understand Donate Blood until you showed the advertisements for
blood drives. If someone in America was listening, they may not understand because
the advertisements are in Japanese only. I liked your topic, but your speech wasnt
cohesive. If you ask me to condense your speech to one sentence, I couldn't do it. Was
your point A) blood types B) genes C) feel happy? I wanted to have a clearer idea of
why you were talking about each topic. It seems you had 3 topicsso this speech
would improve if you only focus on one of them.
