I feel too nervous and also not enough confident during the presentation but i successfully finish it.i know i did better then before but still not good enough yet.I`ll keep try to improve more in my next presentation.The lesson helps me a lot to bring myself in front and be myself.I guess i`ll be more friendly with my classmates after this.

During the presentation, I was nervous. I try to cover it up by using body language and eye contact with the audience. I do not know whether I did well in the oral test but I trust that I did better than last time. I am happy because I speak louder than last time. In the presentation, I could share about myself with my friends and they can know me better.

During the presentation, i think i don't do the presentation very well.I feel very nervous and make my voice become slowly. Beside that, i don't used the good body language. But i already used the eyes contact with my audience. Sometimes, i already forgot about my point but i try to cover it. From that, i know where is my mistake and i promise for next presentation i do very well and try my best to be better, better and better as a good speaker..
And thank you to miss liana because during the english class, she give a tips and teach how to be a good speaker.

Assalamualaikum..
First of all, I would like to say THANK YOU so much to Miss Liana for all the input she gave..
During the presentation, i was a little bit nervous,but thank god i have done it..i am very satisfy with my slide show and the text that i made..i think it would be good if i can memorize the whole text..but it's okay i guess..besides, the assessment was my FIRST presentation with slide show..ha3..at some point,i felt like i am actually a real politician giving a speech about Tun Dr Mahathir..ha3(whatever!)..another thing is i don't think i stand straight while presenting my speech..it is because i need to give a sign to my friend to change to the next slide..huh, whatever lah..the main point is i have DONE it!! hooray...!
Not to forget, good job for my classmates who had done it, you guys ROCKS!!

After the end of this chapter, i realised that i still have a lot to improve in presentation.I am very thankful to Miss Liana because she gave us useful tips and information about presentation.But i think i didn't practice it during the time i presented about myself.My slides were too simple and in fact I have many stories to share with my course mate.Miss Liana,I will try my best to improve on my skills of presentation and learn from my friends.Hopefully by next time,i am able to do the presentation very well.K31, let's improve together ya ^^
And one more thing,your class is very fun and enjoyful.Thanks you^^

I haven't have the presentation yet, so I don't know how will the performance I would have.However, I am a less self-confidence and talkless person. Before that, when I needed to have the presentation in the class, I felt scared and nervous and I don't know what I have talk about in the presentation. This time, the presentation topic is about myself.For me, it is the easiest topic and I have prepared to present it so that my classmates can know more about me after this.
However, will I give all the presentation skills I have learn all out during the presentation? I don't know, but I will try my very best to do it.

I love to have this technical english class because Miss Liana is an interesting lecturer.The classes are full with funny and happiness. There is no stress in the class, so I love it very much.

Four weeks already!!Wao,time is running so faster!Chapter 1 is about the skills of presentation. Before that i very dislike this chapter because i'm very weak in the performance of presentation expecially in front of the people.(but i like the ways that my lecturer teaching,it make us no any stress)Last week,i give presentation about"myself".I choose this because i understand myself more than "the legend". Although i didnt satisfy with my speech but i think it is better than before.Technical English give me chance to talk in front,i would like to thank to whom help me(including friends and lecturer...)

I'll be the 1st person to start my presentation for the next Technical English class. Thanks to Miss Liana, I really enjoy the class and feel relaxed every time I enter the class. And I learn a lot throughout the lectures. Talking about presentation, I think that I need to polish my speaking and my vocabs. I have a lot of grammar mistakes in my speaking. Moreover I can't speak fluently. I shall try my best and do some preparation for my next presentation..
Another issue that I want to bring out is the power point slides. I found that many people put bulky of words and excessive explanations in their slides, which may lead to boredom of audiences. I always remember the quote saying, 'if you want the audiences to read your slides, just give them the proper reading materials, the handouts!' It's advisable to cut words in our slides, and speak more during our presentation..
Thank You.

Huh! I feel so relieve after finish my presentation about myself. Finally, my last minute slides be presented by last Wednesday morning. It was very nervous morning I ever had until I get stomach ache. During the presentation, I tried my best to follow the presentation tips that Miss Liana gave us. But as usual, the nervousness can make me forgot everything. Unfortunately, after a few minutes my presentation started, I get the passion from my audiences, of course from my classmates and Miss Liana. I'm not very glad about my presentation but a little glad still there. This is because my presentation was lacks of vocabulary and I don't explain my points very well.Because of the lacks of vocab, I had said Malay word unconsciously, and the word is "apa". I hope I don't do the same mistakes like this. And I will try my best on improving my presentation as well as my weakness in English.

During last presentation, it is bad for me. I had tried to do the best by follow the tips but everything going wrong when i came in front.
I don't know why. But maybe I'm nervous. I have plan what i want to talk and there is many thing I want to talk about Tun Dr Mahathir. But when I came in front, I start to forget everything that I want to talk. I think that maybe I lack of practice since I'm very busy with other assignment and commitment. It going more bad when the day I though I should give the presentation is actually at another day. That make me forget most of the thing that I want to talk. But i feel a little glad since I can finish the task even its not very good job.

This chapter is very useful to me. I have some problems when speaking in english. I think, I improve my presentation skills after finishing this chapter. Not only stop at that. I need to learn more and more to sharpen my english and presentation skills. I learn alot of presentation skills from technical english teacher (Miss Liana). I feel very happy because I already finish my first slide show presentation in my life. Thank you, Teacher.

Actually I learned more in the technical English class. In every class is informative. Thanks to Miss. Liana, because I learned lot of from her. i learned how to be a good presentator, how to respect others and so on. I really enjoyed my fellow friend's presentation. By seeing yours presentation I’m feeling really shocked and proud. U guys are really marvellous, until I’m anxious to see your presentation one more time. It makes me be initiative in doing assignment. I swear that next time I’ll be as good as u guys. I should thank to god to have good and talented friends like u.

First of all, I would like to thank Miss.Liana to guide me to perform a good presentation.The moment, I was present my presentation, I was used good body language as Miss Liana taught and use eye contact skill as well. However, the moment i deliver my speech, I was a bit nervous and tensed. My nervousness and tensed make me forget me some points and a few points not mention clearly. From that, I have learned that next time I should be calm, relaxed and well prepared before perform my presentation. To be a good presentator, we should use good body language, eye contact, state our points clearly, be calm and relaxed all the time.Hope everyone will follow these guidelines and be a good presentator in future.

Hello everyone,actually i.m not finished my presentation yet,maybe the next class i will finish it...like the other friends i,m so nervous and scared when conducted the presentation.This is my disadvantages and my weakest.I was prepared my presentation to talk about what but as ussual during the presentation i cannot make speak goodly because of my nervous and always think to finish my presentation as far as possible.I'm also do not confident with my presentation. I realize that my english is not good but i will do my best to be a good presentator for 'my self' presentation..Thank you,that's all from me...

Joanna Chye KA09067 (K31) said...

Throughtout these few weeks I have learnt a lot about presentation.Before this I never knew that one can improve himself or herself during presentations by changing his or her tonality , gestures , poses ,eye contacts and so on.I thought it was like a gift.Those who are lucky would be gifted with this talent but not all.Anyhow,after this i realised i can change and improve myself in presenting as I was never a good presenter.I can be one of them too!Well, the word "good" here is to say that I have improved comparing myself from the past.Of course it is also the confidence I have developed so far.I am not hundred percent satisfy with my oral presentation last week as I am a perfectionist.So,I need to practice more.There are still lots to learn.I want to take this opportunity to thank my talented lecture here Miss Liana for her guidence.Hopefully Miss Liana ,we can have more of these presentations.Thank you and peace =)

fuh!! i have done my presentation.I feel so relief..but i not enjoy with my presentation.I know that my presentation is not good.Too fast!
I don't know why i can present like that.
Maybe i feel so nervous.I'm totally not use my body language,eye contact and posture properly during my presentation.I only think to finish the presentation as fast as possible.That's why my presentation too fast!If i get another chance to present, i will try my best during the presentation.

Bismillah.. thanks god at last i can finished my task. when i first know that i'm the 6th presenter if i'm not mistaken, i feel horrible as the presentation is tomorrow and i did nothing yet at the moment. but something that i realized with this presentation that differs with my presentation before is that the spontaneous that lead to a better presentation and information delivery. normally i prepared a lot when i need to facing with something that need me to talk in front of audience and basically when i talk i will depends on script. therefore, i realized here that bravery and confident to deliver our speech is much more important then the contents. however i realized that i didn't promote myself so well as i did not really good in elaborating my point and always repeat the same description and talk a lot about my experience. i will avoid it next time.throughout this topic, i have learn a lot such as body language, tones, power point slide, attract audience attention and more. and i believe i improve a lot too. thanks to Miss Liana as well as other friends.

well honestly, i feel that i won't be able to use all the knowledge that i learnt in my presentataion as i will get too carried away with the things that i want to deliver. This is one of my weaknesses and i need to improve on that.

For the past four weeks, i enjoyed my time during the lesson as i find it very lively compared to.....Anyways, i'm looking forward for the next class hoping that it will be the same!

For the past four weeks, i think the most important thing that i leans is how to do a power point. Previously, i have no idea about power point at all...i will put everything inside it. But now i will do it simply and easy to understand. About my presentation...i feel sorry to lecture because i did't well prepare and just put many picture only without word...i think i will do it better after this...i think~~~haha...

Chua Yee Leong(MA09070) said...

Well,to tell the truth i quite satisfy about the presentation i did today,the tips of how to do the oral presentation ,like the body language ,pitch, the tone,and so on have give me really a push to higher level in the oral presentation.In my opinion what the class is just like a guide that show us the way on how to present ourself out there on stage but when it really come to presenting, it was us that have to make a move to improved our oral presentation skill,make preparation, so that we can give a really good speech out there.

Sharveenesh Vetrivel said...

Well!!!
About the presentation, may be i was not fully prepared mentally which makes me to think that i did'n do so well in my oral presentation. But i think my body language was ok, i don't no,, only our lecturer will know that. I realise that this is not the ending right. There will be more , and i am sure that i can make it in the future.

Thank you.

Good day..After i finished my presentation,i felt very relief. This is because i was quite nervous when giving the speech , but i tried my best to calm down.So that, i could perform well in front of all my fellow friends. Anyway, i need to thanks to Pn.

If i am given a second chances, i assured that my performance will become better. As we known that practice makes perfect.Tq

Nervous...the biggest problem that I'd always faced during presentation.This problem also happen during my previous presentation about my legend Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.I could not perform well because I have done so many mistake while doing my presentation.Because of nervous, I lost my points and my eye contact with audience,then I keep reading through my slide show and giving lack of explaination.Ofcourse, I feel that the presentation become boring. But, I'll try to improve my presentation skill for the next task..(^_^;) GOOD LUCK FOR MYSELF!!
