PERSONAL ANALYSIS

I chose the topic about studying abroad because I believed it had a lot of content. Also, I wanted to express my point of view about studying abroad with the hope that my audience would agree with all or just part of the whole speech.
My introduction was effective. Mostly because I started off with a captivating topic sentence about the importance of joining higher institutions of learning.

In the conclusion I brought in positive energy, I projected my voice and used gestures. I also summarized the whole speech into one sentence which has the whole importance and purpose of the whole speech.

The rational appeals also went a long way in persuading my audience. I employed an approach known as convincing proof to help persuade my listeners. I gave an illustration of great leaders who went studying abroad and ended up being very useful and important people in their
