Oral presentations

Oral Presentations

Introduction

In my school students are expected to deliver oral presentations. The aims of this proposal are to identify which are the negative aspects students have with the kind of assignments that could be encouraged and recommendations to deal with these, as the head of the school asked us to.

Bad aspects of presentations

I inquest different students at school that have to give oral presentations. Most of them complained that learning by heart is very difficult, and that in some cases the content it is very long so as to learn it in that hard way, and they do not feel comfortable with it.

Others complained about speaking in front of the whole class, and that all the eyes are in looking at you although the ones of the teacher and make them feel nervous and they could forget what they have to say and have a bad presentation.

Recommendations

Clearly, something could be done such as to making the presentation easier for students. I would make the following recommendations:

·         Students could record what they have to say.

·         Students could be allowed to use a paper where they studied from in case they forget what they have to say.

·         Reducing the topics to present, but making more presentations.

These final recommendations will encourage students to be more comfortable at the time they present and they will get better grades.

Dear Editor

Our teacher of language Andrea ask us to write formal letter. For this assigment, she gave us instructions:

• Start the letter "Dear editor"
• Follow the plan on page 93
• Use "Useful expressions"
• Introducty comments
• Agreeing
• Explaning your views
• Claryfing

Dear Editor,
I read you article about crimes, I´m in agreement  with the idea of installating cameras in the posts of the streets, because of this they can catch a lot of thieves and this will help you to see what is happening at the streets. I strongly disagree with citizens using celphones in the streets while they walk and I cannot support the view that they no activate the alarm house by the night. Also the neighbors can prevent with and neighbors-alarms that are very useful. Additionaly, the police have to increase in all the aspects, in the personnel. Furthermore, the police work in my opinion is not beeing successful. For a conclutuion, I believe that people have to prevent more and be prepare and police people have to produce more security
                              Sincerly,

Oh Romeo!

Our teacher of Language ask us to write a review of an essay we wrote about a play that our school made and won a award. In this review we have to write our point of view of this play. Here it´s my writing:

In my opionion the play is a play who involved a lot of effort notably for all the people who were involved. I really like it as it is a play that was produced by my college, I´m very proud of it.

In adition I like it due to the effort and because they where in role all time of play. Furthermore, I like it so much since they performed many different fragments about different plays by Shakespeare as Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet or the Tempest.

Personally, I believe this play meant a lot of work and effort because of all the time they spent making it, as preparing all the atmosphere or to film. From the artistic point of view I can imagine they took into account different aspects a characterization, atmosphere and setting, costumes, etc. Finally, however, I think this play was succesful because of all the effort of characterization. However on the other hand I´m against some inperfection of the play.

Informal Email

In the language class we were asked to create a Mail to somebody, I did it with Agustin Fila and we write about an invitation to a trip.

Hi Maite!,

Do you remember that I told you I was planing to travel with you on a trip? Well, I founded a trip to go to England for twenty days. I want to travel with you the next month, remember that if you accept to travel with me, you cant`t have subjects with low marks.

Story

After making the Popplet for Story Writing, we had to put the theory into practice. We were given a topic sentence to start or finish the story which was "Mark couldn't believe his good luck" and we were asked to use and underline:

- Five conectors
- Three sequence markers
- Two examples of direct speech

Here is my Story, which I wrote using the topic sentence:

Mark couldn't believe his good luck, First he won a car with the super-market prices, However, he is under age for driving. Then, the next day he got a 10 in a exam at school without studying. Later, he found one hundred dollars on a road, walking to his house while he was drinking a Gatorade. Above all with the money he found, he finally bought the bike he wanted. At present, he always goes to his house by bike, instead of walking.
He always tells his friends.
-"I can`t believe that day that I found that money. I really needed to buy my bike, I was very lucky"
He is always very grateful. And he also tells his friends:
-"Now I can go to school on my bike every day unlike Freddy, my brother, who always goes walking"
Finally, Mark finished the school and he gave the bike to Freedy as a gift.
