Adverse circumlocution of Sonia’s speech at high school reunion remained many of her former fellow students how peculiar she was as a teenager.

Irena: You clearly understand the vocabulary, but there are some problems with this sentence: the most important are to use a different main verb (I think you used "remained" in error), and because you already have the first clause in the simple past, you need a previous event (the second clause) in the past perfect;-)

Irena?? Much better, now just use "The" to start the sentence.
