That is really for i had learn many tips and ways about the presentation since this last five week.But,for me,i will still choice to stand there and talk.This is because i really can not afford to reduce my pressure standing front of many people.And i will really lost my mind at the time...But,for this presentation,i will try the best.Hope i can afford to do it well...

For the assesment week,i'll try my best in the presentation.I'll try to overcome the stage fright with all the tips we'd discuss before.What ever it is,just speak out our ideas and make it interesting....

"Presentation Techniques"? From the class, we have learned all sorts of presentation techniques, like body languages, eye contacts, use visual aids, get the audience involved and so on. We need to focus on our audiences that tell them what they need to know but not all we know. In my presentation, I wish I can overcome my stage fright so that I can speak with more confidently and fluently to my all course mates. During my presentation, I may use more eye contacts to my audience and try to act relaxing and more naturally in front of them. For my preparation, I have found some pictures and information through surfing internet about the legend person that I going to talk about. Nevertheless, I am also preparing a hand notes for my later presentation so that I can remember what will I going to talk about after one slide. I think we will perform better if we get enough preparation and the most important thing is to be CONFIDENT! If we be confident to ourselves, we will have enough courage to get rid of the stage fright and thus our presentation will sure come off with flying colours…

Relax, stay calm,steady,cool down.This are the few most important things that one must achieve in order to deliver a good presentation.Regarding the presentation that will be carry on in the coming few more days, i have prepared myself mentally and also physically.As for mentally, i give myself a try in delivering my presentation in front of my room-mates over and over again.I gain some confident and fluency in presenting my points. I need to overcome my fierce and from what i did here,i get to be more brave when stepping infront of public.My power point presentation contains simply and easy to understand words and sentences. I believe by using this kind of approach my presentation will be a success and will be a dialog presentation rather than monolog presentation. I also made a copy of simplified notes written in small pieces of papers as a guide for me when i forget my points of presentation.By this, hopefully my presentation in the coming day will be a good presentation and memorable by everyone.Last but not least, a wish of good luck to everyone that is going to present their power point presentation. May all of us able to give our best.

I had prepare my power point slide show and my speech about one week. Before i went to bed, i had think it and try to get the ideas.
Finally, i finish my everything for my coming presentation but i felt nervous to present my assessment to audience because i will faced not only for my section friends but also in front of another section students!
Anyway, a best presenter will overcome this weakness just like me.

i have done my power point presentation last week.it was not as i hope.I had learned many ways and tips of presentation but i'm still have no confidance to come in front of the audience.I had prepared the slide for a long time but still can't give the best presentation.

well for me i just pick a topic that suit myself and a simple presentation is enough for me to elaborate all the point because sometimes if you being ask questions by the audience about the topic that you present,you will have more confident to answer the question if you mastered the topic that you present but it will be vice versa if you did not mastered the topic

at last..
i've gone through the stage fright situation.. no matter how well prepared we are, we can still feel the frighten of standing in front of the crowd.. so far so god.. i've done with my presentation regarding myself.. i've figured out that there's still lots more weaknesses that i have to improve as i watch the performance of my friends..

Well, the one thing that attract me to learn Technical English is when I is allowed to speech in front of my friends. I am very interesting to speech because it can increasing our skill to communicate with others. According to the presentation week, I can say that my performance on that day is not what i hope. I want to share with you that I have a weakness when I speech. My weakness is I can't speak english very well and sometimes I can't pronounce a word perfectly. On the presentation week, my presentation is simple n I have many idea to elaborate it but when I speech, I can explain clearly to audience because I can't explain in English perfectly. All the skilled that i learnt in Unit 1 have been applied and I know I must always practice and try to speak english in my routine to beat my weakness and be a good presenter.

Atually,the presentation techniques that i planned to use last few week ago was eye contact,speak confident,facial expressions,and pronounce clearly.Unexpectedlly,i did't use any presentation techniques in my presentation.I just said the words according power point.Althought i had prepared well,i still forget my speech.I thought i still need some pratice to speak in front stage.Oh,I prepare my presentation by search pictures in internet.Then,i add some points according the pictures.I also refer my friend's presentation.There are the steps i taken to preparing my presentation materials.

Hello!
Even though i ever lerned many tips for presentation from unit one like body movements,facial expressions,eye contacts,postures, appearances and so on but i still cannot perform well in my presentation. This is the first time i stand in front of crowd and i feel very nervous until my mind become blank. I hope i can overcome this problem in the coming presentation.

The good presenter is the person that can make the audiences enjoy and keep focusing on his presentation.The presenter that use clear explanation with simple words.The good power point presentation have the slides with less words but more pictures.

I want to talk about my slideshow presentation.Actually i not happy with my presenting because i feel tired and very nervous.Before i started my presentation,i need to run back to my room.I need to change back the format for my slideshow in Microsoft Powerpoint 2007 because at block W where i will present my slideshow can only open in that format.When i arrived for 2 or 3 minuutes,i get my turn to present.Lastly,i feel very sad because i cannot present my slideshow very well.

It was such a relief that the presentation is over. I know there is still some lacking in my presentation and there is still some nervernousness beneath myself.At least, it is some way for me to express myself and also a platform for me to improvise myself. I enjoyed doing my presentation.I hope I can do more better next time..
