Assignment #7 The key to success

Comment on Angela's presentation

     Regarding her speech content, I really can't agree more that "GRIT" is the key to success. We do have to preserve when we fail, then the success might be in front of us. For example, students here in senior high may have test everyday. They may fail on test today, but if they preserve on practicing and practicing, they will be success someday.
     On the other hand of her attractive speech, she did really well on any aspect of the skill. She honestly looked everyone's eyes when persuading audience to agree on her viewpoint of success. And the intonation of her speech did make audience concentrate on what she wanted to say. The gestures she made also is one of the keys to her successful presentation.
