A: The first one is a correct statement.
The second one is grammatically incorrect.

A: @bulletproof_cupid: It depends on the context. At a wedding, you can make a speech by standing and speaking. At work/business, make a speech means to write a speech, and deliver means to speak, talk, present it.

A: I think that when you use "by" it means that you were impressed by the SPEECH itself,
whereas when you say "with" it would mean that you were impressed by HIM because of his speech.
In the active form you would have:
He impressed me with his speech (so the speech is the tool that he used to impress you)

Hope that is not too confusing :)

A: a speech can is a (more or less) formal talk somebody gives to an audience.
a lecture is the same except it has the intend to teach you something.

A: We sometimes use the present perfect instead of the past perfect if reporting something that happened in the past but which is still true now.

A: I've also noticed that I tend to use BECAUSE a lot in Russian. In English, one solution is to use the dash (—) instead: "Sorry, I can't go to the movies with you — I have homework." Another solution is to turn the sentence around and use SO: I have a lot of homework, SO I can't go to the movies with you. Both these options sound very natural in English speech and writing. IMPORTANT can be expressed as SIGNIFICANT: "Tomorrow is a very significant day for my sister and I have to be with her." If it's something that can really make a difference, you can use PIVOTAL: "Next week's exam is pivotal - I have to study all this week."

A: He thought about how he could had done this? How had it gone so far so fast? He said he hadn't been sure but he had known, he had felt it deep down inside of himself that he should have done it and he had known that he would have regret it. He already had.

A: It's English, it's just a bit hard to understand. :)

A: Ok. Since that is the case, I think it is better if you say, "Through a speech..." if you're trying to recommend others to write their own speeches to express themselves. "Through THE speech..." indicates that you are talking about or recommending a specific speech that is already written. There is a significant difference when you use "the" and "a".

For example:

I will buy a car.

I will buy the car.

The first one indicates a more general intent of acquiring a vehicle. In the second sentence the speaker has decided on a specific car already.

A: Good afternoon, everyone! I am XX from class 301. You can also call me Estelle. I am a sophomore now, and my major is applied English. I always keep one thing in mind, which is that attitude is altitude! So I'm very glad to be able to stand here and give this speech. Actually, I have waited a long time for this moment. The topic of my speech today is "Traditional Reading or Digital Reading".

Here exists a debate on whether we should promote traditional reading or digital reading. Different people sing a different tune.
Those in favor of traditional reading think that traditional reading should be protected and inherited because it has a long history. In addition, traditional reading can focus our attention while digital reading tends to divert our attention from reading. When you are reading online, there are various temptations there to lure you towards other things. Only in traditional reading can you feel a true touch. When you read a book, you can take notes if necessary. Last but not least, traditional reading is more accurate nowadays. Digital reading is easy to be used, but it is currently faced with some problems. There are many mistakes within it, which will lead people astray.

Other people contradict that opinion. They hold onto the belief that people have the ability to choose the correct information that they need. Besides, digital reading is more convenient because you are able to read anywhere your heart desires. Moreover, digital reading can save an abundance of paper, which will benefit our environment!
As far as I'm concerned, we can neither choose the traditional reading nor have a preference towards digital reading. We should develop the strong points and avoid the weak ones in each respective option.

A: For a business presentation, I would normally say something like:

Good morning everyone, let's get started. For those I haven't met yet, I'm Kai Sunabe, CFO of Super Donut Technologies. For the next 15 minutes I'm going to walk through the main points that I think are most critical when deciding when to... etc.

A: It's "it looks as if".

For example "it looks as if it might rain" or "it looks as if Bob won't be coming today."

I use it on occasion, though I couldn't say how often - it's normal enough that using it isn't noteworthy.
