Adderall

Valerie Chew

Short. Simple. Direct. I like how the reporter begins the story by grabbing the listener’s attention. The tone, the speed and the use of words with impact make listeners want to listen. The topic is of interest to the audience - students, teachers and possibly parents - with Columbia being a college town. He made good effort to include different perspectives and attributed the voices. The use of natural sounds could make the piece a little more interesting. If he had continued using the opening style for the rest of the story - by varying sentence length to set the pace – the piece could have a ‘fuller’ feel. Sustained. Rich. Complete.
