oral report number 1

 Oral report number 1

My presentation was about extreme body modification, and it was individually, for that reason I had all the attention and all the stage just for me, and that putted me very nervous, but I think that I did a good job, I know what are the things that I have to improve and for the first time I really force myself to apply that areas in a good way.

for example to use eye contact, I know that I didn’t do it in the correct way all the time, but I really try to did it and applied it, so for that I felt very proud of myself, but I recognize that I have to continue work in it. Eye contact is not the only thing that I have to improve, I have to start talking slowly, it is very difficult for me, and I know that I have to do something about it, but when I am presenting I forget it, so I decide to found a way that remember me that I am talking fast, maybe a friend in my audience or something in my hand that help me with that, I have to start trying those ideas, in order to find the best one and Then I have to start making connections with my audience, like move my hands or move myself through the stage, and for that it would be good if I practice before my presentation with some friends or family, in order to feel comfortable and to lose the fear.

On the other hand I think that I am good choosing my topic, I choose an interesting topic with new information, and I now how to develop and that I avoid pet words and fillers.

So I know that if I improve my stage ownership and try to do my presentation in a more normally way, I am going to do a good job in my next presentations.

Self Assessment

Self assessment

In my self assessment I notice that I have many areas of improve, the tree more important are: follow the essentials of lecture, talks and reports and other forms of academic/professional presentation which are propositionally and linguistically complex, argue a formal position convincingly responding to questions and comments, and answering in a complex lines of counter argument fluently, spontaneously and appropriately, and take ownership of the stage by controlling the space and interacting with the audience, for that reason my coach and I decide to think about what kind of action I can implement, so the first one is to read articles about different topics, in order to have more information and vocabulary, second, try to practice my presentation in front of friends, so I can practice and force myself to use eye contact and to be more natural, and finally, practice how to make pauses when it is required and do breathing exercise.
