ORAL PRESENTATION: VACCINES
In my oral presentation I used powerpoint as resource with some images, tables and graphics that I did myself. It was focused on the topic that we talked. Doing a powerpoint presentation is good support for the presentation, it’s a way to show your hard work, imagination and be entertaining. I talked for about 5 minutes.
Body language & eye contact
During my oral presentation I tried to look at people. At first I wasn’t nervous but when I started to talk, all my nervousnous came. I still move my hands and arms, but this is not an anecdote for me. I knew my presentation perfectly but we know that the nerves are very bad and I needed to read my notes.
Structure
I think that my presentation and structure was ok; I introduced the topic and I justified why I chose this topic, then I spoke about my objectives. The research project was divided into two parts, firstly I spoke about my theoretical part, but only by paragraphs, later I tried to explain with more details my practical part, because these were an important part for my project. I tried to organize my ideas in order of importance. First of all, I explained the interview that I did following by the vaccination card, compared different doses and ages in the European Union and Spain. The last part was conclusions, then I tried to show everybody a video that I did at Christmas. I introduced a lot of new information to my audience; this project wasn't toinformation but doing a study of the vaccines helped by interviews.
Language
For me this is the most important part, I tried to do the best I could but I also tried to speak simply because if I wrote difficult words it would be useless. But I needed to say specific words related to the topic. Also I tried to use connectors but I was nervous and I spoke very quickly.
Pronunciation & Intonation
Like many oral presentations, everybody told me that I spoke very quickly. Now I know that I spoke very quickly because I’m nervous, but when I spoke I didn’t think that I was speaking very quickly, I did unconsciously, it wasn’t my intention. This wasn’t my best oral presentation I know, but I had to do it and I couldn't prepare it well. The pronunciation was comprehensible; my tone of voice was loud.
For all these reasons my final mark, would be an 86%. I think that it’s ok but I need to improve my pronunciation and eye contact.

The Simpsons vs. Family Guy
Presentation
In our oral presentation we use the power point and some images that we downloaded from the net. It was focused on the topic that we talked. For me, doing a power point is a good supported for the oral presentation, it’s a way to show some images and be interesting and entertaining. About the time, I think it was a little long, but we talked 5 minutes.
Body language & eye contact
During my presentation, I looked to a fixed point, because I was very nervous. I knew perfectly my oral presentation but I was very nervous and sometimes I needed to read my notes. Unlike high oral presentations I haven’t made any gesture. I tried to don’t look at the power point but occasionally I did it. Also I tried to don’t look my notes but I was so nervous I finally I did it.
Structure
I think that the structure was ok; we had an introduction where we explained what the oral presentation was about, why we chose these topics, what we explained and which were ours aims. When we finished explaining the topic, I did a little conclusion and we showed two videos from “family guy” and “the Simpsons”. Basically our aims were that people had a basic Knowledge from each sitcom. Also I finished asking to the audience what sitcom they prefer. We tried to organize our ideas in order; we started with an introduction, describing the main characters, the principal places, some opinions of the experts (controversy) and a small comparison of each sitcom.
Content
I guess that we didn’t introduce new information because everybody has watched the Simpsons or family guy. In my opinion, the information that we exposed was extensive and detailed but for understanding the topic we needed to talk about this one otherwise has been a bad oral presentation, we need minimums. When we showed some photos people laughed, and also when we showed videos of family guy.
Language
We use some adjectives to describe the places and the characters, the grammar was correct and we use synonymous and some expressions. But in general we use easy vocabulary (except some words) and simple grammar to describe, and introduce some parts. For example “now Anna is going to talk...” As connectors I use “and, but, also, etc”. Clara told me that I said one “bueno” and I think that some “emm”.. Also I said “for example”.
Pronunciation & Intonation
At first people told me that I spoke very fast. I suppose that was because I was very nervous and I didn’t know what I was saying. While I was doing my oral presentation, I didn’t know that I was speaking too fast, but when I watched the video I was surprise. It wasn’t my intention. Also I think that I spoke with a loud volume. But I think that has been one of my best oral presentations without interruptions or breaks. Before, when I didn’t be sure for something I used to speak softer; now I think it has changed. About my pronunciation, I tried to pronounce correctly each word; before the oral I tried to pronounce the most difficult words, for example: behaviour, although, kidnappings, “pewterscmidt”, “antropomorphized”.
For all these reasons, my own result would be an 75,5%. I think it’s ok, but I need to improve the body language & eye contact using fillers and perhaps improving my vocabulary. I’m happy with our power point. Sincerely, I thought that it would has been more wrong.
