My English right now may not be so perfect; however, it is better than what it used to be years before. Learning a new language was quite difficult and challenging because I had to face so many obstacles that others did not face especially in school. Hopefully, my English skills continue to improve and become more fluent like

I have been able to learn how to interact with people using the crucial communication skills required. Now I can confidently stand in front of a class and present my ideas maintaining eye contact, ensuring there is careful selection of words, organizing ideas well bearing in mind that maintaining a good flow of ideas is equally important. Communication is a key aspect in social life and thus this experience was not just for academic purpose but it equipped me with an important skill in life. Developing effective communication has raised my self-esteem, which is an essential while facing the real

When I first went to High school in this country, i barely speak with anyone else. I was always nervous to talk to other people. Then I realized, the only way i would overcome this problem is by constantly communicating with them. As time goes by, I improved my English skills a lot more than I expected. I was considered as an ESL (English as Second Language) student but after just two years in this country, they took me out of that program already as they think improved greatly.

The content targeted the college aged audience exceptionally well, while the speaker’s use of visual aids brought a new sense of credibility and life to their presentation, which had both positive and negative aspects.

Having lived comfortably in my hometown Vietnam for 18 years, I had to start everything from the beginning when I came here a few years ago. As an immigrant, I realized linguistic difference was one of the most significant educational barriers that I faced. Although I had studied English before, I still could not speak English fluently. Essentially, in Vietnam the teachers lectured mostly on grammar, and people there did not speak English frequently. Therefore, I barely had a chance to practice my English communication. There were the times when I could not answer any basic questions of native speakers. I felt horrible about myself at that time, but later I told myself not to live in this situation anymore. A few weeks after coming here, I registered to study ESL at an adult school near downtown Sacramento. There were many students coming from different countries whose English was not their first language, so

Because you all know that detention was last Tuesday.

Every speech given is a lesson to be learned. Not just by those listening but to the person giving it as well. The informative speech I gave was no exception. I learned a great deal from this speech about my strengths and weaknesses as a speaker.

In each of these categories I will discuss the strengths and weaknesses I noticed in my informative speech in each of these areas.

As an international student, I have faced many obstacles in achieving my dream. Being a non- native English speaker was one of the obstacles that I had to experience. Growing up in a community that speaks the same language as me, I never thought I would have a problem in communicating with

It was with ecstatic delight and tears of joy that I realized I was finally getting the chance to move to the United States. I had secretly admired and hoped to live in America. Residing in the United States was pinned on my mind as the best life that one can have in the world. But my main idea behind the admiration of living in the United States was motivated by my desire to achieve academic excellence. My goal was set, and my mind was fixed with sheer enthusiasm to attain the target. Since birth, the Arabic language was my primary and only language. Considering that I had only two weeks before coming to the United States, communication was bound to be problematic. I knew nothing about talking English. It was a mountain of thorns I was
