Part 1. How did you learn your speech? Explain the best techniques you used to familiarize yourself with your speech. How did you practice? What successful tips can you share with the class?
I just tried to memorize the parts separately. That worked on my first speech, but not my retirement speech. I practiced over and over again. I made my mom listen to it so many times. She got so tired of it and she told me to go find dad. He got tired of it and told me to practice on my own. It is very hard for me to remember things. I try so hard, but it's like I didn't try at all. Whenever I go to give my speech, it's like I can't remember a thing.

Part 2. How have you improved since the first speech? What would you like to improve on for the next one? How do you plan to do that?
I have improved somewhat. I still have to work on memory because I forgot most of my second speech. I want to improve in memory, eye contact, and presentation. I plan to do that by trying to memorize different things and practicing with friends. I think that this will help me a lot. Although I don't know how long it will take, I will try my best to do it. I just hope to improve so much. I will try.
It wouldn't let me add another picture for this one.
