Once again, Mr. Miyajima's speech was selected to be the best presentation
by the students in this class. The maximum score for this presentation was
the same as that for Speech #2 for which Mr. Miyajima's score was very high.
Yet, the score for Speech #3 was higher! He is getting better and better,
just like many of you in this class. Very good! By the way, the average
score for all students was 33.34, and this is better than the score for Speech

#10: Yamawaki (41.60)

The class average was 40.66. As you can see, it was once agian a very close
race! Still, anyone can be on the top 10 list! Notice, however, that the most
of these people used very nice posters in their presentations. As I said on
Friday, what the audience see is more important than what they listen to.
Work on your physical and visual messages. Try not to look at your note
cards as much as possible. This means you will have to rehearse with a watch
many times! Peak youself in your final presentation. OK? Good luck!!!
