My oral presentation


In my oral presentation I was very nervious, and it wasn't as good as I had prepared.
Also, I think that it is most difficult to do the oral exposition alone than with friends.
I saw on the video that I read quite a lot read, but less than the previous oral. My pronunciation I thought that part, after the presentation I thought that my pronunciation wasn't bad, but I saw on the video that it was.
I'm very happy because it lasted five minutes, and it was thanks to the information because I had a lot about Ireland.
Referring to the power-point I think that there were too many words and not many images.
However, I think that I deserve to pass because I have improved since my previous oral presentation.
