Question

What is the main problem with the following critique? "I’ve never liked horses, so I didn’t think your speech was very interesting. Besides, the way your voice sounds has always bugged me."

Answer 1

Answer:

The “Besides” is unnecessary.

Explanation:

The “Besides” should be replaced to an “And”. I hope that was enough of an explanation.

Have a great day/night!

Answer 2

Answer: I think the sentence "Besides, the way your voice sounds has always bugged me." could be changed to something that sounds more professional. In fact, I think the main problem with the critique is a lack of professionalism and the overall tone is kind of spoiled. Whether or not you like horses has nothing to do with how interesting a speech is, so the author of the critique should state why they didn't like the speech instead of just saying "I've never liked horses, so I didn't think your speech was very interesting." It is also in poor taste to critizize the way a person's voice sounds, and if someone is going to critizice the way a person's voice sounds, they should provid constructive feedback. For example, " When you got nervous towards the end of the speech, you started to stammer, which made it difficult for the audience to understand you and made your voice sound different." which would be better than saying "The way your voice sounds has always bugged me."

Overall, this critique lacks a sense of professionalism and clarity which makes it difficult to believe and understand.

Hope this helps!  :)
