REFLECTION OF MY ORAL PRESENTATION

This is the presentation of the second term and the topic was doing the oral presentation of the research project in English. It wasn’t very difficult because we already had done the one in Catalan, so we only had to translate it. Mine research project was about celiac disease that is also called gluten intolerance.

I have used a PowerPoint to support my presentation. It was well in the structure and well in the content because I put something of text but not very much only some words to orientate the people and also the objectives because I didn’t find a good slide for it. In spite of this little parts, in most of the slides were images and it was better because it makes the presentation more entertaining. In this oral presentation I haven’t count the time because I think that the importance is to do it well and not to get worried about the time.

I was looking almost all the time at the people. I think that only one or two times I had to read my notes because I was nervous and my mind got white but I worked very hard on it. I understood everything and also I remembered everything I had to say, so I was very fluent. I did a lot of gestures maybe too many movements but in my opinion it’s normal because when you speak in public you become nervous for the situation.

I think that my presentation was well organized because first, I made a little introduction of why I had chosen that topic, the objectives and the methodology. Then I spoke about the disease and finally I said the conclusions but in my opinion the text needed more connectors.

The text was rich in grammar and vocabulary. The verbs were in the correct tense, the sentences where well structured, I used good words, etc. One point against is that I’d used little pause fillers because I think that I didn’t get stuck.

In my opinion I had a good pronunciation because I practice it before a lot in my home. I changed my tone of voice and I was very fluent because I didn’t speak with breaks and to separate the paragraphs I made little pauses.

Summarizing I think that I did a good presentation but also that are aspects that I have to improve like speak lowly, make more pauses, make less movements, don’t touch my hair all the time, improve mi pronunciation, put more connectors in the text, etc. I think that I can get more of eight points.
