if i am audience

In a speech or essay, every writer or speaker always wants to catch people's attention and persuades them to understand his or her view point. He or she will make some jokes or pictures to let people feel not bored. if i am one of the audience in a speech, i really do not want to get into a boring speaker's speech or reading an old fashion essay because i will probably fall asleep or throw that paper away. The writer or speaker that will catch my attention, he or she must knows put some joke or humor conversation in speech and use some easy to example to persuade me to believe his or her opinions. Giving complicate or hard-understanding example only makes me do not want to care or believe on it. Hence, i would like the speaker gives me some easy example to guide me to his or her main point.

project pt.5

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/ball_dont_lie/post/Photo-Al-Harrington-s-motivational-poster?urn=nba,150752

In the high intensive game, player would get excited when they finished clutch play. Getting too hype to get technical fault and being the main reason to make his team lost the game, the athelete should be benched for his whole season. A good athelet should not being so excited that he or she make a important play becasue the game is not over yet. This poster and couple links show that Al Harrinton is the worst basketball player ever, he got the same reason of technical foul twice in six weeks and those technical fouls were the main reason to cause his team to loose the game. If i were the team coach or manager, i would bench him forever. Puting him on the court would not only let us have less chance to see other potential players but also have more possibility to loose in close game.

project entry pt.3



This movie clip tells us that it still has some people do not want to go to troop camp. the way they try to avoid their duty are totally different than what i heard in my country. on the one hand they tried to be homosexual and injure by accidencial shooting in the clip. on the other hand, people in taiwan would try to gain weight, gain near sight, and fake heartattack. No matter which way they try to avoid the military stuff, they still have to realize that military is your duty. when your country needs you, you have no chance to say no.
