what did I learn today

Today was the first day we had class again,and it was nice to see every friend in LATINA class again after the long vacation.We met two new friends and had a plesant conversation before we began our class.We tallked a lot about the presentation today.We searched what some presentaiton techniques and tools and soem good advice for presention on the internet.And then we worked in pairs talking about our projucts with our parterners.Clara’s project on her blog looked very clear and logic.She also taught me how to do a list in pages,a very nice girl:)Then we focused on our presentation skills.Tord was quite a clever teacher and he make us stand in front of the audience and present as we usually did.Of course there came lots of problems.From everyone’s performance,we saw a lot of inappropriate presentation problems and learnt a vivid lesson.

First,you should speak clearly and loudly when you are in front of the audience.Content is the most important part of a presatation.So make sure that even people in the back can hear what u said.Do not speak too fast or too slowly and try your best to explain the sfuff as clearly as possible.

Second was about the the contact with the audience,including the eye contact and body language.It’s necessary to have the eye contact with your audience if you wanna get your audience involved.You should also act as nature as possible when you are in front instead of paying too much attention to your body language and etc.It’s better that you can look at the audience in the back to get as more people involved as possilbe,but you should also make sure that all the audience in the room wouldn’t feel lost.So u should also look from the left to the right to avoid someone being ignored.

Finally,if you have some written stuff on the screen,make sure that contact with the audience is still important.You can have notes and look at the screen for a while and then memorize the stuff to explain it to the audience by yourself.It would be much more clearly and get your audience involved even better.Of course how to balance the conflict between the speaking and referring to you notes needs lots fo practice.So reherse is quite important and is the only biggist thing you can do to before the real presentation.
