  1. 1. The information that I read from this chapter that would've made my speech different would be research and writing techniques. I would explain to them that whether you're taking English or not, writing is a very important asset in helping to sharpen you thinking and communication skills. I would also enforce the importance of improving their skills, instead of stressing over getting a good grade. I would also include how important it is to check out and use the resources in the school library.
    2. The author believes interpersonal communication will give you an edge over others. He/she also believes that the ability to speak well is empowering and imperative for your success. I agree with the author's perspective. You can't do or be anything without the ability to speak well or hold an intelligent conversation.

    1)My speech would have been diffrent because I would have researched m crowd and difrent techniques tht would have helped me with ways to more effectively reach my goals.

    2)The author believes that you will become more successful if you are able to speak well. He feels that it will give you a foot up if you know how rto speak and how to speak well. I agree with the author because the fierst thing people notice about you is how well or poorly you speak. If you can't properly express your feelings then you will talk you way out of alot of connections and oppertunities to network.

    1.) My speech would have been more effective if I would identify specifically what crowd I am addressing. The techniques and mechanics of the speech would allow me to deliver my speech in a different posture.

    2.)The author believes that interpersonal communication would give the speaker the opprutunity to speak clearer and have a method to come across to his/her audience. I support the author's ideals about speakking publicly they are very effective.

    1What would have made my speech better is if i put some time into it. I just come out of my head with something. If i had put more effort it would have beenmore effective.

    2.I agree with jasmine. The author thinks that they would have an edge over most people.
