I watched the ospreys hovering over the lake behind the house. Hungry and desperate, they circled the lake for what seemed like an eternity, anxiously searching for the meal that might let them live another day. When a fish swimming too close to the water was spotted, they'd pause in the air as if suspended and then dive quickly into the water, gratefully retrieving their much-needed meal.

Eventually he [Alfonso] grew bored and went outside with an old gym sock to wipe down his bike, a ten-speed from Montgomery Ward. His thumbs were tired and wrinkled and pink, the way they got when he stayed in the bathtub too long.

a) to show that Alfonso spends his time doing unimportant tasks
b) to develop the idea that Alfonso cares a lot about appearances

Your family pet starts speaking to you. What does he or she think is going on here?

Which of these is an example of an unsuccessful emotional appeal?
In support of taking swimming lessons: Whether it's a swimming pool, a lake, a pond, or the local water park, you know you can keep yourself afloat if you happen to find yourself in deep water. But not only that, you might need to save someone else's life as well. On two separate occasions, I have helped kids in trouble in a wave pool. If I had not known how to swim, I would have been clinging helplessly to a tube. In fact, I would have been so focused on my own safety that I wouldn't even have noticed the kids who needed help.
Against keeping wild animals as pets: Wild animals can be . . . well, wild! I was playing with our pet raccoon when it suddenly turned on me and bit my arm and hand. Today, 18 stitches and a series of rabies shots later, I'm here to tell you that because wild animals are unpredictable they do not make good pets!
In support of repopulating deserts with trees: Replanting trees in devastated areas means that someone someday will have a completely different place to live in or visit--one that is healthy and thriving, and beautiful, too. Will you plant trees today to make a better tomorrow for your children and grandchildren?
In support of retraining homeless people: When you provide the homeless everything--food, shelter, clothing, etc., you squelch their desire to take care of themselves, as well as the need to change their situation. Instead, they are treated like babies. Because of this treatment, they are forced into need and dependence--and ultimately, hopelessness. Consider Aaron, a homeless man, who took his own life because he was in so much pain from living in below-freezing temperatures for many years.

"The Dentist" by Tim O'Brien (from The Things They Carried)
As we sat waiting, Curt Lemon began to tense up. He kept fidgeting, playing with his dog tags. Finally somebody asked what
the problem was, and Lemon looked down at his hands and said that back in high school he'd had a couple of bad
experiences with dentists. Real sadism, he said. Torture chamber stuff. He didn't mind blood or pain - he actually enjoyed
combat - but there was something about a dentist that just gave him the creeps. He glanced over at the field tent and said,
"No way. Count me out. Nobody messes with these teeth.
But a few minutes later, when the dentist called his name. Lemon stood up and walked into the tent.
It was over fast. He fainted even before the man touched him.
Four of us had to hoist him up and lay him on the cot. When he came to, there was a funny new look on his face, almost
sheepish, as if he'd been caught committing some terrible crime. He wouldn't talk to anyone. For the rest of the day he
stayed off by himself, sitting alone under a tree, just staring down at the field tent. He seemed a little dazed. Now and then we
could hear him cussing, bawling himself out. Anyone else would ve laughed it off, but for Curt Lemon it was too much. The
embarrassment must've turned a screw in his head. Late that night he crept down to the dental tent. He switched on a
flashlight, woke up the young captain, and told him he had a monster toothache. A killer, he said - like a nail in his jaw. The
dentist couldn't find any problem, but Lemon kept insisting, so the man finally shrugged and shot in the Novocain and yanked
out a perfectly good tooth. There was some pain, no doubt, but in the morning Curt Lemon was all smiles. By the end, Curt Lemon is characterized as: 1)Recklessly concerned with his reputation. 2)battle-hardened and powerful. 3)Overly impulsive but cheerful. 4)Childish and prone to fainting.

1. Describe the four techniques mentioned in the article that help you, the speaker, keep your audience engaged.(Site 1)
2. Do you agree with the author that learning to use humor can help you be a more effective speaker? Explain your answer. (Site 1)


This is what the online content site says:

Analyze and Adapt to Your Audience

The key focus of speech development is to always consider your audience. The audience is the reason for the speech; so much of the preparation requires analyzing the audience. However, preparing for your audience isn’t simply learning about your audience. It is figuring ways to adapt to your audience to ensure that they remain engaged throughout your speech. After all, there is nothing worse then losing your audience halfway through the speech.

What is the best way to maintain audience engagement? By incorporating these techniques into your speech.

Begin with a Question

One way to hook your audience at the beginning of the speech is to start with a question. This helps get the audience thinking immediately, and also shows that you are there to interact with the audience.

Often, the type of question you want to ask is one that audience members can quickly answer. For example, you might ask, “If you had to make a choice, which would you prefer to do—exercise 20 every day or sit with a good book every day? How many of you would choose to exercise? How many of you would prefer to read?” Not only does it cause the audience to become part of the speech, people in the audience start building connections. They see people who are similar to them. This also helps you build an understanding of the audience. You can actually learn about your audience by sitting back and seeing how people respond to your question.

One way to get an audience engaged is to ask a question and seek a response.

Break the Ice

If you want to get you audience energized and have them participate in your speech, one thing you can do is use an icebreaker. An icebreaker is any activity you incorporate that gets your audience moving around or interacting with their neighbors. The activity should involve movement, interaction, or both. It could be a quick survey, such as, “If your favorite season is summer, head to the back of the room and share one reason why with a neighbor. If you favorite season is winter, head to the front of the room and share one reason why with a neighbor.” Or, it could simply be a turn and talk to you neighbor about a topic related to the speech. Engaging the audience is one way to get them interested.

Icebreakers can also be used for a long speech. Because most listeners’ attention spans will drift after about 10 minutes, adding one of these to a speech can keep the momentum going. Another thing to know about icebreakers is that they work well after a break, such as a snack or lunch break. Keep in mind that not everyone enjoys icebreakers and that they can make some people uncomfortable. So, it is best to avoid them at the beginning of a speech if possible, unless, of course, people need to get to know each other as part of your speech.

Text icebreakers are one way to engage the audience.

Seek the Wisdom of the Audience

Another valuable way to include the audience and keep them engaged is to ask for audience input. By doing this, audiences actually contribute to the presentation. The easiest way to do this is to use some type of media displayed in the room, such as a transparency displayed on an overhead projector or a LCD-projector showing a document. Then, have audience members share ideas that you can type or write and display for all to see. For example, suppose your speech was about the history of the Summer Olympic Games. You might ask audience members to share their answers to the following question “What sports appear in the modern Summer Olympic Games?”

To maintain engagement, have audience members share their ideas or knowledge.

Keep the Audience Focused

One final way to keep the audience focused is to make frequent eye contact with many different members. This makes the message more personal and helps audience members feel you are talking directly to them. Making eye contact can be difficult, but one trick expert speakers use is to look slightly above the actual audience members’ heads. This way, it looks like to you are making eye contact without being awkward.

Humor can also be helpful to engaging the audience. Laughter puts people at ease and keeps the speech light. Always make sure that the humor is appropriate, respectful, and something the audience will understand.

Presenting speeches is hard work, and it can be a challenge to keep your audience thoughtfully engaged. By using these suggestions, you will be able to maximize your audience’s attention while minimizing their distractibility.
