I first read the one by the German student. She added a lot of sense humors, for example, saying what she always expected was a letter from Hogwarts. Other dictions like her families furniture "floating on the Atlantic" was also very vivid. Her words gave her speech a graphic sense of reality as an internationals student who moved to America with her family. It is a really good speech and I don't think there is anything bad about it.
The second speech I read had me confused in the beginning. I did not understand how "a life like TV show" is "where we are either always in the right, or are always forgiven." After finishing the first page I still did not see what her points are. In my speech I will probably give out my points straightforward.
What I learned from this two speeches is that: first, I need more sense of humor. When I read the first speech, my interest was immediately grasped. I want the same effect on my audience. Second, I need to be more straightforward about my opinion, in other words, what is the thing that I believe, which the second speech did not do se well. I will mind that.
