I took slightly over 7mins to deliver this speech. At least this time I did not exceed the given time limit of 7min 30sec. Overall I think I did ok for it. Not too nervous during the presentation…but still felt that the speech content is not too persuasive.

This speech is Project 9 “Persuade with Power” from Basic Communicator Manual. The objectives of this speech are:

• Persuade listeners to adopt your viewpoint or ideas or take some action.
• Appeal to the audience interests.
• Use logic and emotion to support your position.
• Avoid using notes.

The timing for the presentation is 5-7 mins.

This speech project was given in conjunction with the speech contest. Stephen Tan is my silent evaluator.

作业（九）劝说诱导（五到七分钟）
人们总喜欢在新年或生日时许下愿望。但真正能付诸于行的人有几个呢？很快的，我们又会回到那朝九晚五，公式化的生活而把那些愿望丢在脑后。二零零五年，我参加了生平第一个马拉松。从许愿到每天练跑，参赛到半途脚痛，坚持到含泪越过终点，我深深感受到泪水汗水后，如愿以偿的那份喜悦。许了愿的朋友们，你们行动了吗？
