Feedback of “Blog 8 – Persuasive Presentations or Death by PowerPoint”

In this blog post, Hsien-wen talks about the TEDtalk by Julian Treasure titled “How to speak so that people want to listen”. Hsien-wen talks about how the TEDTalk relates to the current topic we were learning about. They mention the use of dual coding theory as well as the signalling principle within the video. They explain that by using bolded text, the speaker is able to capture the attention of the audience. They also go on to talk about how the dual coding theory verifies the saying “practice makes perfect” through repeated repetition. I enjoyed how they included a personal exprerience because it helps the reader relate to the content .

I wonder if Hsien-wen could provide short explanations as to why they chose the sevens sins of speaking. Thanks for the great post.
