In any educational institute, the system of rewards and punishments is deemed effective in encouraging good behavior among students. Discuss the statement and give your opinion.

I have some pretty good vocab, but my use of it is not entirely controlled. Idea generation is alright, but organization could use some work. I only say things which I think are interesting and I think my enthusiasm is conveyed pretty well in my tone of voice and delivery; though my speeches usually also meander because of that, and I think I need to work on concision a lot more.

# data[].attributes.body
My strengths are: i can stick pretty well to one message. I manage time well. I divide time okay. I can be good with technology, environment or education subjects

My flaws are: I can’t make complicated outlines. I cant come up with great examples for unfamiliar subjects (or even remember them well enough to use them in the speech). I may be time-pressed during planning.

# data[].attributes.body
Weaknesses: I'm not confident during speeches, so my pacing is rushed. Most of the time, my hands end up shaking, too, affecting my vocabulary. I have trouble finding interesting things (examples, hooks, ...) to say about the subjects I don't care about. I'm bad at writing outlines.

Strengths: I can say a lot about subjects that interest me, and I manage my time well (enough).

# data[].attributes.body
I think of myself as being okay-ish at vocabulary at best. I can manage my time somewhat solidly. In terms of the flaws though, I still find myself struggling with creating a comprehensive outline within 5 minutes. My arguments rely too much on theoretical chains of logic and too little on concrete examples. Furthermore, I keep getting aheead of myself and proceed to stutter or stop the speech entirely.

# data[].attributes.body
i have a kinda bad active vocabulary and struggles with finding the appropriate word to fit in the speech. quite slow at idea organization and planning but i would never dare to adlib anything. i might crumble to nerves halfway too ig.

i think i can keep my speeches quite concise thanks to the lack of ideas tho!

# data[].attributes.body
Cohesion and Coherence's good if i have time to plan out my ideas before hand, immediate idea generation is mediocre. I can stick to a main point and organise it pretty well in my head.

Active vocab's okay but sometimes I screw up basic pronunciation, and that messes with my tone and confidence.

Time management is REALLY bad tho

# data[].attributes.body
Strengths: I am good at coming up with ideas for a variety of different topics. I am able to convey my message well in an adequate amount of time.

Weaknesses: Occasionally, I can speak too quickly, which can cause me to stumble over my words more, and also creates a risk of looping back onto things that I've already spoken about. I am also not good at dissecting my speech into different paragraphs unless notes are allowed. Furthermore, my use of vocabulary in speaking is still limited.

# data[].attributes.body
I probably have no strengths beside my mid pronunciation and fake enthusiasm so here are my shortcomings:

- I don't have much in my active vocabulary reservoir - I understand the words if I read them but can't remember them during writing or speaking. Thus, I usually repeat the same phrase over and over again.

- I am still affected by the "Oriental" rhetorics, that is, to circle round the subject, sometimes without even touching it directly. This means I will belabour one point without developing things further, making my speech rather dull.

- I'm not that well-equipped with social knowledge.

# data[].attributes.body
Strengths: I have interdisciplinary knowledge (to a certaun degree) and can offer multiple perspectives on a particular subject. Thií makes me rarely ever run out of ideas. My vocab is okay, everything is else is okay.

Weakness: My flow state of speaking is very vulnerable, any trip ups causes me to overthink and exit the flow.

Furthermore, I have a tendency to throw one liners (unsupported thesis statements/signpost thingies) or one-worders (random 10syllable words in the middle of simple words) which reduces my coherence greatly.

# data[].attributes.body
I find it hard to come up with speech outlines, especially under time pressure. It is also difficult for me to integrate relevant topic vocabulary smoothly into my speech without preparation. However, if it’s a topic that I’m interested in, then it is a little easier. Plus, if I practice a particular topic for long enough, it becomes simpler for me to make a speech on any prompt related to it.

The speaker only discusses the downsides of the punishment system, not the reward one. -> Should also talk about the drawbacks of the reward system.

He only gave an example of self-punishment(feeling awful after getting a bad score) as to prove why the punishment system is bad, which isn't quite the same(talking yourself down vs the school punishing you aren't the same?)

He didn't stutter or stop much when performing his speech.

# data[].attributes.body
It's a two-body speech that utilizes great vocabulary and examples, drawing from a famous book and personal anecdotes (may even be too much)

The development showcases both Greats and Bads of Positive reinforcement; however, it only gives the Bads of Negative reinforcements. It sounds very much like he just liked the Positive Reinforcement and can do away with Negative Reinforcement...

On the practical side, he has great speaking skills; clarity and intonation is beyond reproach. However, slowness and little variation in pitch create a dragging feel that could be better ameliorated with speed or enthusiasm.

Moreover, the conclusion seems vague-ish. Not a clear direction to "move on". Not even suggestions. Perhaps it would take away from the vibes but I think it would benefit him to have an extra idea about a good alternative.

# data[].attributes.body
Might just be my own opinion, but the voice had very little inflection which made it pretty monotonous to listen to and made it harder to track where the central ideas/details start and end.

He spent too much time on the how good the system is for developing hard workers/good learners, even though it was minimally developed (only had a bit about implications for society at large which could have also been summed up in one or two sentences). Especially placed in the beginning of his speech could make people zone out and miss his more interesting ideas about autonomy and the harms of the negative reinforcement later on. And it was pretty disjunct from his conclusion too, so not a good allocation of time, even superficially.

The autonomy point was also an interesting bit of principled argument which only has power when you properly explain why it is important beyond “doesn’t this feel wrong?” He should have spent more time on that instead.

Pretty nice that he had a quote from a book and an idiom too ig. Extra credits for him.

# data[].attributes.body
1. SUPERB:

It was a well-structured speech with clear signposts and cohesive devices which made it easy to follow their ideas.

There were some "từ ngữ chuyên ngành" such as postive and negative reinforcement and a plethora of C1C2 vocabulary/idioms (disallowance, to a hammer everything is a nail,...)

Although the ideas were not groundbreaking, they were pretty solid arguments for the topic.

2. Uhmmm

Sometimes they included too many synonyms in a phrase, making the sentence contrived. Having no experience with the NEC, I don't know if that is what examiners want when they are grading your Lexico, but I think having "Temporary" and "Non-permanent" right next to each other is a big no.

Some of the ideas were not really thoroughly explained or mechanised with multiple layers of reasons. Mostly he just gave one-liners.

# data[].attributes.body
Good:

He paces his speech well; it doesn't sound rushed and is within the time limit.

He gives specific examples to support his points.

He uses advanced and formal vocabulary.

Flaws:

I couldn't understand what point he was defending (might just be me)

He's defending positive reinforcement, but he's saying it "instills upon impressionable and less than perfect adolescents [...]"

The example he gives isn't really related (Construction workers aren't really in any educational institute)

Whoa, overreliance on the system leads to crime in society.

# data[].attributes.body
I saw quite a bit of slippery slope in the latter half of the speech. Makes it seem a bit radical and cực đoan? Though you could argue most of the arguments for any prompt needs exaggerated assumptions to be convincing.

The subject should be not synonymized(?) all the time? It hurts comprehension.

Great use of lexico-grammar.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought the vocab usage was quite smooth and relevant. There was a good structure with clear cohesive devices.

That said, I’m not exactly sure the personal example was particularly relevant (seeing that the consequences of getting bad grades is not exactly the same as the punishments meant to reinforce good behaviour).

# data[].attributes.body
assuming he only gets 5 minutes to prepare like the real exam, it's a rather ambitious speech. he was quite articulate, his voice is soothing and kinda hot too but i digress. his use of examples and citations, as well as an anecdotal reference is great with a vast range of vocabulary. i do however feel like it's a bit imbalanced, and the anecdote while being a neat trick to use can backfire especially when it has little relevance to the task, which to me is kiiinda the case here? he dwells around on pretty macro issues, many of which aren't even fully developed or elaborated on, while some of his other arguments seem a little bit strawman? he's trying a bit too hard on everything so they all ended up being kinda clunky and incohesive as a whole

i lost what i'm trying to say here

# data[].attributes.body
Well use of vocabulary, speech is fluent and is well-paced. Good pronunciation, articulation and tone.

I also couldn't understand the point that he was trying to convey, the speech is rather vague.

In light of the increasing violence among students, some argue that stricter application of punishments is necessary within schools to curb this trend. Discuss this statement and give your opinion.

Outline:

Opening: Rephrase the question.

Main Body:

- Reasons why stricter application of punishments is useful:

+ Deters students from violence. Effectiveness, however, is questionable.

- Reasons why there shouldn’t be stricter punishments:

+ Creates a sense of dissatisfaction in students that did nothing wrong but still got punished.

+ May lead actually violent students to only be violent in secret, and make victims unwilling to expose them because of the fear for secret retaliation, and/or fear of being punished themselves for being misunderstood.

- Instead, there should be other measures taken to reduce violence by taking action at the root of the cause?

Conclusion: While stricter application of punishments might be a viable solution in the short term, it should not be the only measure taken against violence in schools.

thesis: to not feel guilt every time you look at cow, and to not contribute further to global warming, we should turn to vegetarianism.

Intro:

Imagine, for most of your life, you live on a farm. You listen to Beethoven every day, and are fed high-quality grass. Then, one day, all of a sudden, you are slaughtered and eaten. This is what followers of vegetarianism often claim. Though there exists environmental..., the ambiguous debate of ethics & circumstantial factors like budget make vegetarian demands an implausible feat.

1. Admittedly, environmental impacts exist

Carbon footprint, greenhouse gases (cows methane)

2. Ethical concerns

Vegetarianism still allows dairy, eggs,...

So the problem of "valuing animal lives" doesn't really hold

Because these animals are still mistreated/mass-produced

3. Expensive (can't expect everyone to afford due to circumstances)

You can't expect everyone to afford a plant-based diet

Example: fishing village, usually eats fish, all they have

Poor families have to make do

Too high expectations, some plants expensive

Conclusion: Although environmental impacts,...to demand everyone to afford plants & follow a rigid set of ethics,.... virtually impossible

# data[].attributes.body
p1: environmental

if world switches to veggies we use less space for livestock

veggies cultivation has less carbon emissions than livestock raising due to less equipment such as automated feeding machines, surveillance cameras and such

veggies can’t be grown everywhere however so some countries might have to import entire species of vegetable -> higher carbon footprint for transportation than meat/livestock, which are more commonly distributed domestically

=> depending on the context of the country: is it suitable for agriculture?

p2: ethical

screw this

“but ohhhhh nooooooo you’re raising animals to kill them and eat them that’s evil that’s torture” SKILL ISSUE YOU WEAK- (The following rant has been censored for the sanity of everyone involved)

aren’t plants living beings too y’all contradicting yourselves over here

eat whatever you want nobody cares

oh btw these vegetarian stuff are obscenely expensive check your priveleges

=> vegetarianism is cool it helps with the environment and you can brag about your moral superiority but people can eat whatever the hell they want

Disagree, BUT...

There should be a distinction between different kinds of tertiary education: universities, colleges and vocational schools etc.

Universities SHOULD be reserved for those with good academic performance: It's a very intensive academic environment that requires you to apply the knowledge you learned, which is an even higher requirement than in high school; if you can't even do that in high school, more often than not you'll struggle and waste your tuition

For those with not as good performance: vocational schools are available that prepare them directly and practically for a line of job, easier on the brain, less requirements, very straightforward, still lots of jobs for them to choose from

Actually, this one is terrible.

I've found out that I get more anxious speaking at home, even if I'm alone, so I pause a lot to organize my thoughts and take breaths (also happened with my previous speech).

This took 5+ tries because I kept tripping over my words for no reason while reading the prompt, and I'm 20 seconds over time.

Miiiight need to do something about the anxiety thing. I'll try to practice these speeches with someone instead and see if that helps.
