Question

kwami is giving an oral presentation about why testing cosmetics on animals is wrong. he provides charts showing the harm done to test subjects, and he gives a bulleted list about alternative methods of testing. then, he plays a clip from an interview with a scientist who has done extensive research on the issue. throughout the presentation, kwami speaks at a steady pace while staying very still with his hands at his sides. he barely looks at his notes. after the presentation, kwami takes questions from the audience. what could kwami have done to make his oral presentation more effective? he could have used hand gestures and body language to express himself. he could have read from his note cards throughout the presentation. he could have changed his rate of speech during more exciting moments. he could have repeated the scientists words instead of playing an interview clip.

Explanation:

• Hand gestures and body language: Ayudarían a transmitir la pasión y la confianza de Kwami, lo que haría que la presentación fuera más atractiva y memorable para la audiencia.
• Cambio de tasa de habla: Al acelerar o ralentizar la voz en momentos emocionantes, Kwami podría crear un mayor impacto y capturar mejor la atención de la audiencia.

Las otras opciones no son tan efectivas:

• Leer de las tarjetas de notas: Esto haría que la presentación pareciera menos natural y menos engaging.
• Repetir las palabras del científico: No es tan efectivo como mostrar el video de la entrevista, ya que el video proporciona una evidencia visual y auditiva más convincente.

Answer:

• He could have used hand gestures and body language to express himself.
• He could have changed his rate of speech during more exciting moments.
