Today I want to introduce my favorite show – we call it Freaks talk

I love it because the program prepare some topics about social phenomenon

Also they invite some experts of speech and debate to debate with this kind of topics

I love this show because of the following reasons

First the topics they prepared are always close to us, but we haven’t thought about it. So this program we have our own answer, our own ideas on the topic

Secondly, because of the guests are professionals, speeches, they will give us different perspectives on topics. For example, if our parents tell us they want to go to a place for old men caring, whether e should respect their opinions. I think it’s a good topic and I have never thought that before. And through their perspectives, they taught me a lot and I get a lot from their opinions.

Last, they are master of debate and presentations, so I can learn a lot of skills of speech or presentation from them. For example, body language, the eye-contact, the way they tell some stories, which help me improve my presentation skills. In general, I learned a lot from this program and help me get a lot knowledges and ideas and skills of presentation.

Today I want to introduce my favorite show – we call it Freaks talk

I love it because this program focuses on social topics about social phenomenon  related to work, health, love, family relationships, personal challenges and other issues relevant to the younger working class.

Also they invite some experts and speakers to debate about this kind of topics in an entertaining atmosphere.

I love this show because of the following reasons

First, the topics they bring up are always close to us, even if we don’t often think about them by ourselves. So through this program we can make up our own answer or our own ideas on the topics raised.

Secondly, because of the guests are professional speakers, they will give us different perspectives on each topic -for example, if our parents tell us they want to go to a retirement home, whether we should respect their opinion. I think it’s a good topic and I had never thought of that before. And through their perspectives, they’ve taught me a lot and I get a lot from (listening to) their opinions.

Last, they are masters of debates and presentations, so I can learn a lot of skills related to speeches or presentations from them -for example, body language, the eye-contact and analyse the way they tell some stories, which helps me improve my presentation skills.

In general, I learn a lot from this program and it helps me get a lot of knowledge, ideas and presentation skills
