video log#1 (Danqing)

Reflection

Content
I have summarizied the author's thesis and responded two key points. In the end of video, I concluded my response.

Nonverbal Behavior
I think my facial expression was OK, but I could not find the camera lens so that I did not focus on my audience well. More over, I did not have gestures.

Grammar, Pronunciation, Voice,& Pace
I did not pronunce the sounds /ə/ and /ð/ properly.My voice was not very relaxed and fluent because I were a little nervous. What's more, I had so many pauses during the process.

Goals for Future Video Logs
I think that nonverbal behavior can be improved by practice. And pronunciation is the most important problem for me now. I even did not notice my pronunciation problems before. Therefore, recording my speech is a good way to check myself. I will re-play it many times in the future, and fix my problems as I find them. The next time, I can pay more attention to these problems and make progress.
