As
I look back on my presentation and the preparation, I am amazed by the amount I
have learned. I discovered that there are some existing weaknesses during my
presentation such as talking too fast while presenting, my pronunciation is not
clear, lack of eyes contact with audiences, I often tend to keep reading from
my slides, I trust that main reason is lacking of presentation experiences and
nervousness is major problem, it resulted in me leaving out parts of my speech.
From this oral presentation, I found that visual aids such as putting in video
that related to our idea are helpful for us because it is an opportunity to
interact with audiences and easier for them to follow our slides. In order to
present smoothly, I think that I have to read more English books or newspapers
as well as listening to English songs and read lyrics so that can be handy when
communicating with others. In term to improve my pronunciation, watching films
with subtitles is a great way to involve ourselves in the conversation. Furthermore,
putting myself into difficult situations is an effective way to improve, when I
am outside of comfort zone, I will be forced into using English to communicate
especially with strangers and always remember do not be afraid to make mistakes.
Getting something wrong is actually a great way of understanding why it works a
certain way. In this situation, I am surely able to gain more various
communication skills from different people. I think this is beneficial to train
myself be more brave in public speaking. In conclusion, I think our group did a
great job for report and oral presentation. Effective Communication module is a
fantastic learning journey for me. It has trained me to think maturely and
logically.
Hi Kok Quan,
ReplyDeleteAccording to George Bernard Shaw, “Success does not consist in never making mistakes but in never making the same one a second time.” I do have stage fright and nervousness when presenting to large crowds too. However, I believe that with more presentations to come, we will be able to present better next time. I agree with you that the effective communication module has been a fantastic learning journey for me too. It was nice learning along with the class, and I truly enjoyed myself! Have a nice rest and see you next trimester!
