The new deadly virus belongs to the coronavirus.  It’s called COVID-19 and very similar to the SARS coronavirus, so it has a strong power to infect humans and cause serious illnesses.        

Chinese authorities say, “Since we shut down the seafood market, brought many doctors, and locked down Wuhan, there have been no reports of new cases of the new coronavirus in the city.”

Evaluator: TM A   2-3 min    You excelled at organizing your speech well. It enabled the audience to follow your journey from a music student to your current position in a company. You may want to work on using more descriptive language to appeal to the audience. For example, my teacher was charismatic and patient. He was an active listener and made me feel confident.  The leadership skills you mentioned were clear and easy to relate to.  As a mother, I was able to relate to your teacher and how he motivated you.
