  3. Expository Speeches
    Expository speeches can be serious or they can be fun. In this video, the speaker discusses hat he has learned from where he came from, and does so in a light-hearted way. As you watch and listen, make notes about the following:

    How does he make a relational connection between himself and his audience?
