As I know, oral presentation are devided into many form such as information, persuasive, anoussing and instructional presentation. During the presentation, we should make the audience understand that what are we want to talk. Also, we need to control our voice, eye contact, posture and facial expression.

But I didn’t and even forget to do all of those preparation during my oral presentation. Maybe I’m very nervous or scaring, I will become less confident in front of people. Another disadvantage of me is the presentation performance, I cannot wittiness if I do mistake. Before come to UMP, I didnt have chance to give speak in front of people, but now, I have to always talk to people. This will make me more confident to talk and learn how to talk.

In oral presentation, I talk about “my self”. Why I don’t choose “my legend” ? Because I will more comfortable to introduce myself to people and people can know more about me. I hope I have a better performance on next times for example the “technical description of product” at the last week this month.

My comment on the first oral presentation is it was very interesting. The oral presentation give me the courage to talk in front of my lecturer and my classmates. It also give me the oppurtunatity to tell about Myself to others. From the presentation i get to know more about my classmates and also about some legends. This oral presentation may help me in future during I do some presentation in my working place. This is because I've learned a lot of ways to be the best presentor.

oh, no!!! maybe it was my first statement that came out from me when miss leana said that there were oral presentation as the first assessmentin technical english.actually i'm quite nervous when standing and talk in front of people.

anyhow, during the presentation i'd try to be the calmest as i can.then thanks god it was finished!!haha..actually, we need to practise a lot on our posture,body language, expression and so on..

however, after the presentation i think that my confidence level have increase and i will try my best to not repeat the same mistakes as in my last oral presentation future..chayok2!! =)

As I know, there are 10 percent fo marks for our first assingment and I really wish to know how mark I can get from that presentation, so that I can know how well or how bad my presentation.However, I think I have done my best to present it well.

The title of my oral presentation is about myself. Before the presentation, I have done the powerpoint slide show so that I can show it during the presentation.Because I am the persenter who present at the last day, I had many chance and time to change my presentation during I have the practice in hostel. If I have no mistaken, I had change my presentation content at least 3 times in a week.

At that day I presented, I tried hard to make myself do not felt nervous.I tried to speak out what I have prepared in the slide show. At the end, my classmate told me that my presentation still ok but I presented it too fast. I spoke too fast and non-stop. I should have the stop sometimes so that they can digest what I was talking.Maybe I felt nervous at that time, I just wanted to present it faster, so that I didn't discovered that I talk too fast. I think I will try my best in my next presentation so that I will not speak too fast or non-stop.

For my first assessment, i think that i didn't did my best because i was quite nervous for being the first presenter. I felt that the slides prepared was not enough to introduce myself and my story. And my classmates should be able to tell that the characteristics in me now^^ But, i learnt a lot from the oral presentation by listening and remembering the advise from my lecturer and my classmates. To perform a very good and success oral presentation need a lot of time and practice. I should practice to talk in English more often between my friends. Keep practising is the only way to become a good presenter!!!

My comment about the first oral presentation, I think i'm very nervous but i'm tried to calmest. Maybe i'm the second presenter. During the presentation, i try to be my best. And, the task that I choose is about unique characteristics of my self. I try to share the knowledge that I have.
But, I learn something from this presentation. Before I do the presentation, I must do a lot of exercise how to pronounce carefully,practise in front of mirror for I can increase my confident level expecially when I talk in English and in other speech.
Hopefully, I cannot repeat the same mistake, and tried to be a good presenter in next presentation..
Good Luck & do the best!!!

From my point of view, the first assesment for our technical english class is very usefull to me because I can learn how to give the presentation in a right manner and more.I have learned about how to become a good presenter from the video that Miss gave to us before we were doing our own presentation. However, after the presentation I found that I didn't do my best because I am feeling very nervous when standing infront of class. I'm not really practic on what I have learn from the video given, but it's ok because I can learn from the mistake. Hopefully, I will not repeat the same mistake for my next presentation in a future.

Oral presentation is quit tough for me since I have lack of confident. But the guidance that Miss Leana give to help me a lot. Before this i does not know the correct way to present in front. Even I feel that my presentation is not good at all, but it has give me lesson to do the best in my presentation. If there is presentation, I will be ready so I will not ashamed myself in front of other people. Learn how to present properly in front of other people is interesting since the I need the knowledge when I go to the engineering world. But unfortunately I only have only once chance to practice what have I learn from the class. Next time maybe I can try better.

For me, oral presentation is one assessement that most tough that i face in my life because it is test my patience, intelligence, and voice.

During presentation, i must become active and try to attract audience to hear my words by speaking loudly. At same time, i must ensure my time for presentation must not less or more than given. After my presentation is finish, i will do post-mortem to ensure my mistake that i do during presentation is not happen in future. So, i hope that i didn't make same mistake for my next presentation.

The oral presentation is a good starting to build up my confidence when presenting in front of people.After those weeks of lecture,I have learnt a lot.Besides,those games and sketches did help me too in an enjoyable and memorable way.I never did know that there are right skills to present and if I use the right method ,I can be a succesful and good presenter.Anyway,I am just half way through .So, I need to keep practising.Hopefully the next presentation I can make use of what I have learnt.

Now i will try my best if i had a presentation.I will be more confident,so that the other person will give me the hundred percent of attention with what i had talk. I think thats all from me..thank you

Oral presentation will make me get stomach ache, very nervous and feel very cold.Its normal thing for one who are not confident of their own self and it happen to me.But by attend to Miss Liana class, she had teach us the proper way to make us less nervous and our presentation look better.I know it is important to built our confident on speaking in front of people as we are here study in engineering.So, i think oral presentation in UHL2312 very help me in improving my confident of speaking and skills in a presentation.

My first impression when teacher said about oral presentation is waaa..oh no...my heart beat immediately rise to maximum.hehe..The oral presentation made in this class make me more confidence and little bit reduce my shame to speak out infront audiences.Here, i also teached the right way to make presentation.As we are trained to speak in front audience before, spontaneously, i fell much better during the oral presentation.

hello there...
oral presentation???
This is a good way to increase my confident level when speaking in front of many people. in every oral presentation that i had made, i seems that i always shows that I'm nervous when speaking in front of people even in front of my own classmate. but i will try to speaking like the women in the video in title "translator". the women actually not be able to translate to 7 different languages but the confident level she have give me inspiration to be like her.

and like Lim Beng Seng said, i quite fun to see my friends presentation. and lastly i will always try to improve myself in oral presentation and always remember what you say. your audience is in front of us not in the floor so always see your audience.

When i know that the first assessment is about oral presentation,i started feel nervours because it is one of my weakness to do presentation in front of people.I spent a few days to think whether want to choose the title myself or the legend in my presentation.Finally, i have chosen "The Legend" as my presentation after i got the idea from my frend.I spent a lot of time to do my presentation slides and decorated it nicely becouse the marks are counted on the powerpoint slide and i want to do it perfectly in the presentation.
During the presentation,i felt nervours at the first a few minutes.After that,i started to control myself,eye contact,posture and the action with my hands.After i have done this, i found that i felt more relax at that time,then kept on doing the same things until the end of my presentation.
Althought this is not the perfect presentation but i have already done my best and used all the skill that i have learnt from Miss Liana.The next product presentation,i will do my best to do better and better.

I'm the fourth person doing that oral presentation. After I got that number, I become one of the nervous person in the world because I did not do any presentation before this. But I did not do a good job in this presentation. So, I need to improve my presentation skills because I know my weakness now.

Actually I don't think I did well during my presentation. One of the reason is I was quite nervous when I am facing the crowd, and I didn't really prepare my flow of speech before presenting. I intended to do a free flowing presentation but I think I am not good enough to do that kind of presentation yet. But I believe I can do it someday. Anyway I did have fun during my presentation. I did make my course-mates laugh. Actually I want them to enjoy my presentation. I don't want them to become zombies when I am presenting. That will be really weird when the situation happen.

My first presentation for technical presentation was the thing that inspired me to talk in front of my brilliant and talented friends. When I’m presenting in that stage I feel that my hands are shaking and my heart is pumping twice more than usual. That day I realized the incomparable potential of my friends. Compared with me they are in great height. It makes me to try hard to give an interesting speech. I swear to give a better presentation on final assessment later. So I have to invest more concentration on presentation.

emmm..about my oral presentation. I think i'll try my best but im still not satisfy with my oral presentation.i not do it well because i'm feel so nervous and don't deliver my points clearly to my audience. Maybe i'm lacking of confidence to deliver point and mentally not prepared. Before i present, my heart beat faster than usual.I can't focus and i forgot some of my points during my presentation. But i learn something new that is how to be a good presenter. I think i should a lot of effort to improve my skills and practise what miss liana has teach to us. that's all.thank you.

erm.. i want to do better than that. i have try my best to do better. it seems better than i'm at secondary school. but not better than my friends. erm.. embarassing. i hope, after this, i can do better than that.(^_^)..

assalamualaikum

when i remember back about my first assesment, i feel i want to laugh a lot at that moment. first assesment means my first presentation, i was so nervous actually on that time, actually i'm not ready yet on that time, so i choose to make a slide about the legend and not about myself.

Why i choose a legend, i feel when i talk about a legend are more interesting compare to story about ourselves, but i am wrong, when i look many of my friend choose to make the slide about themselve, i feel that i already make a mistake, because the slide about myself are more interseting, more funny and more fun.

After this i hope i can do a better presentation to the audience, since it was my first presentation in ump, i will learn more from my mistake before this and i hope i can increase my presentation skill now onwards.

I guess i'm the last person to leave comment here?
Talking about my 1st presentation, i still remember that i was quite frustrated after i heard our beloved Miss Liana said:' Ok, tat's all for today class, Thank You.'. This is because i was supposed to be the last person to give my presentation in the class that day and i was nicely,neatly and smartly dressed that day just for that presentation. So, i have no choice but have to wait for the next week....
<1 week later...>
8.30AM: On that day of my presentatoin, I was the 1st person to present. I was extremely nervous and my cheeks' muscles cramped! Oh no..
But, i presented successfully. My presentation PowerPoint slides are quite interesting which include some quizzes.
The way i speak was not clear and fluently as my cheeks' muscle cramped (this will usually happen whenever i am nervous). I think i need to practise hard to improve my pronunciation and intonation.

As a conclusion, I'm pretty satisfied with my presentation that day. I'm glad to have such a chance to present and speak in english in public..
Thank You.^^

Well, during my first oral presentation, which is about me, I think I was quite nervous. The reason that I said so is because my main purpose when I’m on the stage during that monent is to deliver what I had prepared. Somehow, I did not really listen to what I’m delivering and this is the bad point of it. I also do realize that I spoke too fast during the presentation.

All in all, besides these two negative points, I hope that I did ok and will not repeat the same mistake in the future. Lastly, I feel that this presentation is a stepping stone for most of us in delivering an effective speech or presentation in the future.
