Moyra is teaching her young nephew how to tie his shoes
She gives him these oral instructions
Her nephew does well at first, but then he becomes
confused and cannot figure out how to finish tying his
shoes. Based on the instructions, in what area of effective
speaking skills could Moyra most improve?
Today, I am going to teach you how to tie your shoes
quickly and effectively. First, put your untied shoes on.
Next, hold one lace in each hand. Do you have them?
Cross the laces over each other. Tuck the end of one lace
under the other. Stop what you are doing. You forgot to
tighten the laces. Understand? Next, form a loop with the
left lace to make a flattened oval shape. Wrap the other
lace counterclockwise around the loop. Grab the middle of
the right-hand lace to make a bite point and pull it around
through the loop, back toward the right. Finally, tighten the
loops. Do you need me to explain it again?
