This was the speech that should have won 1st place. I was there, 8th row. This speech is so well constructed, the build up to the end took it to the top.
maybe it is because she misspoke three times (repeating phrases) and it sounds like she had one grammar problem
She can do better. But yes, I do love her speech more than the 1st place.
Couldn't agree more!👍
@@mazonce In what way could she do better? Please clarify.
Yea honestly I think this and the first speech was quite close. I feel Ramona's speech won because she does have a more powerful voice and projection, also I do feel her theatrics and themes all have a very logical and tied together structure. Afterall, the marking criteria is very specifics on certain aspects, so honestly, the audience's favorite may not necessarily be the winner, but rather who can tick off more of the technical aspects on the marking sheet. Overall, I love both speeches.
Champion-caliber speech. I connected with hers, but not with the 1st place. There is something about speaking from the heart, rather than acting.
I felt the same way. She gave so much depth
well put
Couldn't agree more!👍
I got tears and laughter listening to her speech. It's like watching a beautiful inspiring movie in a concise form. I believe so many people could relate to some of her story. Congratulations for Turning Around and for getting your points across effectively.
"Sherrie, we are not your parents. We are CCs" loolol lovvvvvvvvvvve it!
She's hero of Chinese Toastmasters！
A fantastic speech that should have won the 1st place! 👍👍👍
Yeah, how did this girl not win???? I laughed and cried in the same speech, several times. And she's beyond adorable.
As a book coach, I love the emotive way she communicates her story
That was an amazing speech that blends true emotions, humor, and inspiration altogether!
This speech should have won, the winner can't even compare to this... Su is just so amazing
"All of our conversations are 5-7 minutes long" HAHAHA!!
She definitly shouldve have won!!💙💙
I was in the fifth row.
I think she should have won... and she may have if she had not the misfortune of drawing the first speaking slot.
It's also worth mentioning she didn't speak English eight or nine years ago.
Eric Cable Oh I hate drawing the first speaking slot. Everyone has more time to mentally prepare than you do.
Impressive speech with a heartfelt message. Best I’ve heard yet.
SO GOOD. Watched it twice. She is funny, engaging and tells a great story.
So much was packed into this 7 minutes, so much, so rich, so full, so clear, so eloquent, so so good!
I love it!
What a terrific speech! Humor, pain, mindful observations...wonderful to take in. Congratulations to Zifang!
What a fantastic, memorable speech! Powerful opening, tragedy blended with humour, and very inspiring.
Amazing, witty, quirky, and super inspiring! Great speech Sherrie!
That was amazing!!! I cried twice and laughed hard multiple times hard!! Powerful and effective speech 💪💪🤝🤝🌷🌷🌷🌷👏👏👏👏
Well spoken & acted out. She not only execute her speech well, she plays the role excellently. Constantly switching between emotions seamlessly, she's definitely one of the most effective speakers I've heard.
I could relate to most parts of it, that's why it could make me cry as well as laugh.
Cuteness overloaded... lovely speech!

Those were the words from your heart that run through your entire speech. you were truly true to yourself sir and it has brought an impact on my life "to follow one room" that is to be myself. Thanks for reminding me to work on it to improve upon and go ahead in my life journey, to be an inspiration for the true wealth of the world that is humanity and more specifically the "Youth" to value the gift of life and to bring joys, serenity, and peace in each individual on this planet.
Beautiful speech!!
5:58 This has been marked for a purpose of the study. To let my students understand how she uses idioms.
Enjoyed the speech a lot. Wish you all the very best. " We are the competent communicators." That's really fun.
I’m inspired ❤️
It was very powerful speech I liked it many more times then the winning speech and I think I would encourage me to think differently from now on
Truly wonderful
A wonderful speech~
Surprisingly inspiring. 👏
Amazing speech and presentation!
Zifang Sherrie Zu's speech at the 2018 World Championship of Public Speaking, titled "Turn Around," was pretty good. She used words that got our attention and told stories that made us feel something. But sometimes, her speech felt a bit messy. It would have been easier to understand if she organized it better.
She looked confident on stage and made eye contact with the audience, which was cool. Her hand movements and body language helped us understand what she was saying.
One thing she could have done better was to speak more slowly sometimes. She talked so fast that it was hard to catch everything.
In the end, Zu's speech was impressive, with strong talking and body skills. If she had organized it better and slowed down a bit, it could have been even better. But still, she deserved 2nd place at the championship.
I liked this one more than the first place winner but that's subjective of course. Both were excellent!
Loved this one👍
Good job Sherrie! It really made me laugh and also feel that I am capable too.
Oh my God! This should have been the winning speech!
Fantastic speech, should have been the winner
She was Fantastic
Incredible. She really should have won.
i love this so much
Her voice is cute i can't,She can be a good voice for game character
Wonderful!! I truly connected with her speech.
