Term 2. Entry 1. Presentations.

  I've made several presentations till today. I knew how to make presentation. But I didn't know how to make a good presentation. I didn't use to know much enough about making presentations. But last lesson gave me enough information that is very useful.
  Firstly, I should choose a narrow topic. Because if it is very broad it will be impossible to cover all information.  Also there are many ways to make it interesting, I can use several methods to engage the audience such as directing questions, stating interesting facts and examples. Visual aids is one of the main ways to make it successful. It would be great to use different types of diagramms, pictures or videos. One interesting thing that I have never used is body language. I have realized that it make your speech more persuassive. I used to be serious and use only very formal words . I knew that I should be with positive facial express and I can use more formal words and it will engage the audience. Also I can express much with my hand and eyes. Such kind of gestures show my attitude to the topic. My former presentations didn't include questions, checking gained knowledge of audience during the presentation. After this lesson I have been informed that it must be one part of presentations.
  As a conclusion I should improve my skill of making presentations and this lesson was a big staep for it.
