At 7p.m. on May 25, a lecture entitled “Styles of American Persuasion” was given by Mr. William Weatherly in Lize building room C105.

In the beginning, Mr. William Weatherly talked about his own work experience before he became a teacher instead of introducing the topic directly.

He told the audience that he used to be a salesman, and he learned a lot from this experience including persuasion, the most important lesson. Then he recommended some useful books introducing American Persuasion and some related quotations by influential people through his PPT and a thick notebook. In order to help students understand it, he gave the specific explanation and his suggestion besides his opinion.

After the lecture, some students continued discussing this topic with Mr. William Weatherly. This lecture was the last one for this semester. Many students said they were looking forward to the new lectures in next semester.
