Conclusion and Personal Reflection
The final page of the guide focuses on wrapping up your speech analysis and offering personal insights.
When concluding your speech analysis, it's essential to summarize your main observations and provide a final assessment of the speech's effectiveness. Use phrases like:
- "All in all, it can be said that..."
- "In conclusion, I would say that..."
- "To put it in a nutshell..."
Highlight: A strong conclusion not only summarizes but also offers a personal evaluation of the speech's impact and effectiveness.
In your conclusion, consider addressing:
- The clarity and simplicity of the speech's message
- The speaker's knowledge of the subject matter
- The overall persuasiveness of the arguments presented
Example: "In my opinion, the speaker displays a thorough knowledge of the subject, effectively using rhetorische Fragen (rhetorical questions) to engage the audience and drive home key points."
Don't hesitate to share your personal reaction to the speech. Did it move you emotionally? Did it make you think differently about the topic? These personal reflections can add depth to your analysis.
Quote: "The speech deeply moved me / left me cold / made me laugh..."
Remember, a good speech analysis not only examines the technical aspects of the speech but also considers its overall impact and effectiveness in achieving the speaker's goals.
Vocabulary: A Redeanalyse (speech analysis) in a Deutsch Klausur (German exam) often requires you to combine technical analysis with personal reflection.
By following this structured approach to speech analysis, you'll be well-prepared for exams and able to critically evaluate speeches in various contexts.
