My oral presentation

Valoration

I think that in this oral presentation I was less nervous that in the previous presentation because I was more comfortable with the class, although I think that I read more than the other presentation.
Also this presentation was more difficult and vocabulary level increased, so I read a little.

In my opinion, I think the best thing we was the power-point because it wasn't boring because it had very pretty pictures of Hawaii. The other thing that I'm happy about is it lasted a long time, aproximatly eleven minutes.
I also think I need to improve the pronunciation but it's difficult because to improve you have to practice.
The topic was interesting because Hawaii is a very beautiful place and it has beautiful landscapes, I believe that we spoke about interesting things like the places to visit or that the serial Lost was shot in Hawai, etc...

Really, I think that if you do it with another person you feel more secure because the people don't look at you so much and the same person doesn't talk all the time. However the problem is that you can't pracitce a lot together.
In conclusion, I will try to improve more for the next presentation.
