come to the end

hello everyone

I am very glad that this is the final post which i have to do. First of all, i would like to wish everyone all the best for the final exams. We should cheer ourselves up as holiday is coming.

Since this is the last blog, i would like to share some opinions about blogging with you. First, i would like to stress some benefits of blogging. I feel that we can understand ourselves much better through blogging. For example, our previous blog is about oral presentation 2. When we were writing the blog about this topic, we had to reflect our minds. This is a good practise in the sense that we can improve from the mistake we made in the past. If we do not write blog about the oral presentation, most of us i believe would not reflect at all. Hence, we will keep on making the same mistakes next time. Therefore, writing blogs will give us a better understanding of ourselves.

Next, i would like to stress some disadvatages of writing blogs. Writing blogs are time consuming. Before writing the blogs, we need to think the contents of our blogs. Besides writing our own blogs, we still need to comment on other's blogs. In my opinion, i think teachers can ask their students to write their own blogs and comment other blogs during lesson time verbally. As when we comment on other's blogs, we do not need much thinking, compared with doing our own blogs. It is because that human being always like to consern things about themselves rather than others. Hence, i feel that if the teacher can select some interesting blogs to discuss in the lesson, it will be great. Above is just a suggestion i made. I hope that my suggustion helps.

In the end, i enjoy to take this module.

Reflection on Oral Presentation 2

From the overall view of my Oral Presentation 2, i would not sure whether i did a fantastic job. However, what i am sure is that i have learnt a lot of oral presentation skills from this course.

First skill i have learnt is to make gestures during presentation. The advantage of this skill is to ensure that your presentation progresses at a good sequence. From scientific evidence, hand gestures are able to help your brain to sort the ideas in your mind into an order. As a result, you are more confident when you are talking during the presentation. However.the mistake i made during the oral presentation 2 is that i have too many gestures. Mr James brought this point to my attention. The problem of having too many hand gestures during the presentation is that it will be very irritaing to the audients. Hence, i will take note of this issue and make gestures only when they are necessary during my presentations in future.

Secondly, presentation slides should be short, precise and point form. The idea of showing slides on the screen is to give audients some points to think about during your presentation. if the audients have any disagreements with your ponits on the screen, they will pay more attention to your explaination. Hence we should not write full sentenses on the slides. Otherwise, the audients will not intrested at your explaination as they prefer to read on their own. The mistake i made during this presentation is that we wrote full sentenses for part of our slides. Hence, during the presentation, i found that the idea is very simple and clearly shown on the screen and i have nothing to explain my points. For the next presentation, i will make sure my slides are short and precise enough.

In conclusion, i hope i can perform a better presentation next time.
