Creation

Before listening to this exercise that explains about the born of earth, I thought the slower the conversation is spoken, the easier it will be to understand. But, thanks to this listening exercise, I discovered that it is not. I discovered that the balance between slow and fast is the best. Well, so when I was thinking about the techniques for a speech, I remembered about my Spanish class. About the five minute speech we needed to do as a final project. So, for that project I searched how a “speech” should be, and I remember it was something like,

-Good volume, tone, speed.
-Know well about the subject you are talking.
-Be confident.

And more things. After hearing the speech about the “creation of Earth”, I now have a better understanding on what a good speech means.

Now, I think I should better be talking about the text. It was interesting to hear an answer that was a mixture of science and religion for the question, "How was Earth born?" Ovin, the author, talked about atoms and mass, when he talked about the existence of god. Specifically, he used the term god for things that is not discovered yet with our technology. However, it was still a surprise to see the coexisting of religion and science.
