Notes:
You spoke about vampiresisnt it a bit contradictory? You are praising mothers milk,
so lets not scare the future moms! Your opening is nice because it introduces us to
you as a friendly, open person. However, I couldnt see the explicit connection
between your story and the topic. I like how engaged you were with your audience.
You really showed a comfort and confidence with your speaking, and it was fun to
watch you speak. Some of your lines were funny, too, which was a nice touch. Your
final advice to future moms was nice, and a good conclusion to your speech. You have
a gift for speaking, Minori, and you should consider joining an English speech contest
at least once!
