Oral presentation: History of the family - A look to the past

To start with the Presentation, I don't used any powerpoint as a resource like all my companions have done, my principal resource was be a geneogolist tree I print of all my family at complete.

Referring to Body Language & Eye contact part I still move my hands so much. At the beginning I was sit down because of my nervous but early I stood up and shows with more expressive movements what I wanted to say.

As the presentation was about my research project, the Structure was really good. I introduced the topic, spoke about my objectives, explained some theory followed by a practical part, and I finished with some conclusions. I also used some markers to help audience follow along.

The Content I think was very good, because it shows all my long work I've done last year working hard to my research project.

As for the Language, the grammar was correct but sometimes I've done mistakes its could disappear next time, in my perspective I see it was clear enough to follow.

And the Pronunciation was comprehensible I think, but sadly I was so embarrassed and nervous because some times I don't find words to explain something that appeared in my mind at the moment. Furthermore I have to improve my intonation because sometimes it was hard to comprehend.

Like Lourdes has said, I feel so nervous in this oral presentation and it's a think that impress me because I don't feel so nervous normally. Although I think this presentation could has be so long much better and for this reason I don't expect to have any good mark, if not only six points or similar.

Finally, my oral presentation to show you the work that could has be much better:

Pride & Prejudice's forum

Forum 1:

To Katy's surprise a boy is commenting in this forum. First of all I believe what Katy's said about Romanticism is completely right. In our days it seems that the only way a person can be romantic is saying nice adjectives to his partner and enjoying sweet and tenderness with someone. In other centuries a romantic person was someone who wishes the suicide!

In other way, I think this kind of book can like to boys or girls indeferently, it depends, how Marta has said, with the kind of person they are. Certainly, girls are more followers of love stories but the reason could be that there are different ways to see love.

Probably in girls it seems in a story like Pride and Prejudice, like "Crepusculo", but specially for me there isn't a way better than the sight with a person or, if you prefer write it, a poem where we can reflect all our feelings. I'm not a girl and I like love stories, but they could be boring at the end because Love has been the main theme of writings of lot of important writers in centuries past.

Firstly I have to say that Katy has a real point of view about life. Like her, I think marriages have been the solution to lot of families to could live.

Moreover I believe different as Júlia, money issue has been and will be the reason why, like Cèlia says, we could find attractive girls with older rich men, like our days, like now. In other way, these "money-marriages" have been reduced in pass of time because of the improvement of the social circumstances and quality of life.

Today more people would marriage with someone he really loves. So, I can say it has been and improvement of our society, the society of lovers in the name of love.

1. Cèlia's question:

Family's honour has been important in all centuries, because of the reputation of a good family. Broke the honour there was the worst thing a familiar can do to his family, it could represents his apart of society or bad manners and bad words when someone was referring to this family. Nevertheless, I think in our days it has been reduced a lot because when we are doing something we don't think about our family's honour. I think words that depreciate family aren't not the same than

honour's.

2. Pau's question:

Lol! It's true that in our class the main theme of discussion during the film was who's the most beautiful girl. But to answer this question we must know what be beautiful means at the film century. There were a lot of centuries that a beautiful girl means someone blonde with white skin that was a meaning of luxury. In other way in our times, I prefer Miss Elizabeth Bennet because his beautiful and attractive face, it isn't only a body's perspective. The intelligence Lizzy has could be some attractive to some boys and is a way to be more interested in a girl with mystery in his eyes and mouth, like her. What do you think guys?

Mr. Barack Obama

Dear Barack Obama,

The main reason I'm writing this letter at this moment is because the climate change is destroying our planet. I know you have to receive a lot of letters of citizens and sure they are more interesting than this theme for you, but my reasons are sincere.

At the beginning I want to ask you a few questions that probably will provoke a reflection on you. Which Home planet would like your children to inherit? I think anybody wants to create a world where rainforests, exhaust fumes and acid rain are the quotidian vision of world, all affecting endangered species, humans habitats or definitely our planet. It is something annoying because the reality of our days is like this. Can governments change this situation? I think that if you take a plane and fly across important naturals reserves you will find a part of them destroyed, with endangered species are living in and will die.

Climate is the rule of the world, like Take That's song explain, a rule which has been creating Nature, our mother. Do you think it's strange that only animal species in world is destroying all in his pass is the human? You will think, and I wish it, that we are thinking the same. Humans are the error of Nature, the only species who can destroy his planet and only who can save it.

To conclude this letter I have to say that it is an important honour you are reading this paper because you, politicians, are the only ones who can create a solution taking a verdict in relation with other countries in world. Because it does not matter if we are English, French, Chinese of Japanese, we are human and the world where we are living is the same.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Roger (an human living in an ill planet)
