My reaction to the presentation

After preparing my presentation, I learned how to organize ideas and thoughts, how to make the presentation attractive, especially, I learned what kind of language and expression that I can use when I speak. Understanding topic is the important point that can lead us to do a good presentation. Choosing good examples to prove our information can make audiences interest in our topic too. I think this is a good experience for me to do the next presentation.

The day that I finish my presentation, I feel very happy even if I am not sure that it was good or not. When I started my presentation, I feel very nervous. I think at that time I may spoke very quickly. However, when I got into my topic I feel very calm and I feel very confidence on this topic. I can control my speech and speak one by one. I do not know why I always like this, I remember when I did the drug panel in level six, I spoke very fast in the beginning and slowed down when in the middle until the end. At that time, my teacher gave me a feedback that even if she is an English teacher, she could not follow my speaking, too fast. I need to change this habit, but I do not know how I can do. Anyway, I think that I will be able to change this habit one time. I need to think about the proverbs that I talked in my presentation "I am what I think" and "The winner never quits, the quitter never wins".

I not only learned from my own presentation, but also I learned many things from listening to the presentations of others. They did very nice presentation. They have different styles of speech. Some of them made their presentation in comical way and some showed a lot of funny picture to attract the audiences that made both presenter and audiences pay attention on the topic and provided many feedbacks and discussion questions at the end of each presentation. I know that the asking question at the end of presentation is very important for the presenter because the questions can make them know that the audiences understand their topic and interested in it. All the presenters need good listeners. However, I do not know why, I rarely ask questions even if I really want to ask. This is another habit, which I need to change.
