A Lesson in Car Care

As many of those who will read this blog know, I recently performed a speech of the demonstrative variety on the topic of basic care maintenance, namely an oil change. My assignment is to evaluate my speech and determine my performance.
After viewing myself giving the speech, I have been able to detect the flaws in my presentation and also the items which I managed to excel in. In the speech I tended to get caught up in technical terms, attempting to remember the specific term for a location, part, etc. when a simple small description would have sufficed. Also there were points in the demonstration where my hands and arms were moving when it was not necessary. The elimination of these two flaws could have shortened my speech and allowed for a more professional posture. Also, the lack of repetition in the instructions also left it hard for the audience to fully remember the steps. As with many procedures and tasks in the world, an oil change is one which is mastered with repetition and practice. Had I been more repetitive throughout my speech I may have been able to convey my topic in a better fashion.
As for the good in the speech, there are a few key points.(200) In the speech, I gave a thorough description of the procedure for any year, make, and model vehicle. This made it universal to the class and allowed for most of them to relate to the speech. The speech was also effective as the visual aids used helped to give a better understanding of how the steps are performed in a basic oil change. My voice seemed confident and my posture was confident as well.
Overall I felt that I gave a good speech and was able to pass on some of the knowledge I possess to my fellow classmates in an effective and efficient manner. I look forward to more speeches in the future.
