Reflection
Content
I summarized the author's thesis and tried to respone to 2 of the author's key points. I also made a conclusion at the end of my video log to show the author's thesis again.
Nonverbal Behaviour
I tried to focus on my audience, and tried to see the camera, but I found it was hard for me, as I am a little camera shy. Thus, in this section I did not have much facial expressions. In terms of body language, I used my body languages to stress the key points in my video log. Next time I will try to give a better video log.
Critique and Future Goals
In this video log, my strength is I covered all the content requirments. And my weakness is I did not have a rich facial expression or body language. Also, there are some pronunciation mistakes in my speech such as: something, isolating. In my future video logs I will practice difficult sounds for more times, and be more active in my video log.
Grammar, Pronunciation, Voice, & Pace
In terms of gramma, I should have a comma between productivity and turnover, as I did not know they are two different aspects. Also I made a mistake in "everyone have different taste", I should change it into everyone has different tastes. When mentioned Pronuncitation, I made mistakes in something and isolating, I mis-pronunced "something" and "isolating". In this video log, my voice is a bit low, and the pace is a bit fast. Next time I will pay more attentions on these problems.
Goals for Future Video Logs
In my future speeches, I will practice the words that mis- pronounced times by times before I come to front, instead of avoiding using these words, I will try my best to correct my bad pronunciations on these words. I will looking for a native speaker for help. I will try to make sure that I will not miss the syllables and word endings, also try to make sure that I will not add extra syllables in the words. I will check these words from dictionary.com, and record my speech and replay it to myself. Highlight the most frequent mistakes that I made, and pay attention to them in my daily life.
