    Presentational Speaking

    Attached is a recorded self-introduction. This fulfills the goal for presentational speaking, which is to show I can use a series of phrases to describe various aspects of my life in simple terms. 

    In this recording, I introduce myself, then talk about my family, where they live, my education, where I live, what I want to be when I grow up, where I want to live after college and why, and places I would like to travel to. I covered a wide variety of topics and used a lot of vocabulary in this audio sample. I was able to describe everything using simple sentences. 

    I think this piece would be better if I had spoken more slowly, since it is presentational, rather than conversational speaking. My pronunciation still needs some improvement as well. Throughout this recording, I noticed I had trouble pronouncing the letter "r." Though this sound was difficult as first, I am much better at it now; I think I just had a hard time with the "r" sound for this piece due to a sore throat/losing my voice.
