Speaking Event #2

Recently our church had our annual youth service Sunday. As part of that our youth group leader presented the sermon, while listening I made these observation about the style of her speech. The number one thing was that she did not use a style that related to the majority of the audience. Since it is church there is a variety of people with many different age groups. But in this sermon the language type that was chosen was not well thought out. It seemed like she was writing a paper for her professor she used larger words that are not part of a common Nebraskans vocabulary. By using these overwhelming words she didn’t truly connect with the congregation, which caused them not to give her their full attention. If she would have used simpler words that are closer to our vocabulary there would have been an improved connection and her point would have been better conveyed.
