I think he started off good on his speech with a little story that relates to his topic. He provided good information in order to back up the topic of his speech like when bacteria was first observed and why they are good for you to take. Providing the slideshow with pictures helped a lot in picturing how the antibiotics look like and so on. Adding two different types of antibiotics and how completely different they both are was really good too because it gave me a bit of knowledge about it as well. His body language was good too because he did move his arms around a bit as he spoke rather than not doing anything at all or just looking at his flashcards.
