Oral presentation: TdR, my research project

Self evaluation

First of all; my gesturing with the hands. Every oral presentation I remember myself not to do too much, but it's unconscious, I make it by an automatically way. I mus try to move them less. In my opinion the pronunciation was good, except some words like unconscious or knew.

A sentence which was really wrong was: I was taking notice. The right is: I was taking notes.

I also repeat a lot the word products. I should have searched synonyms.

Between the sentence I often says: emmm... what could be really disturbing if I do it to much. At the moment it's okay, but I will try to avoid it.

And finally, maybe my PowerPoint was to minimalist, I should write more than only the title or put more than one photo in one page.

Oral presentation, self avaluation

We had made our oral presentation about Plastic surgery. It's an interesting and currently topic, but we made the same as Cristina and Andrea! To avoid to bored our classmates, we made the presentation on the following day.

In my opinion our power-point was very good. From the beginning we put big photos in the background, we always do that. What we changed was to put an index as the first page after the cover.

I like more the oral presentation in English than in Catalan. I nearly always improvise and change the sentences. When I can't find a word a try to explain it with other's which are simple or made the description.

In this presentation I was a little bit nervous and maybe I talk to fast and articulate too much with my arms. I always see it on the video and try to remember it for the next presentation, but it's impossible!

As a mark I would put us a 9, the negative points were the body language or sometimes the language and pronunciation.

1- Plastic surgery is a medical specialty concerned with the correction or restoration of form and function. Though cosmetic or aesthetic surgery is the best-known kind of plastic surgery, most plastic surgery is not cosmetic: plastic surgery includes many types ofreconstructive surgery, hand surgery, microsurgery, and the treatment of burns.

Plastic surgery, as a specialty, evolved remarkably during the middle of 20th century in the United States.

Before plastic surgery only was used to reconstructive the soldiers’ hurts from the World War

2-high quality clinics - coupled with the favourable prices - are making Spain important as a medical destinations as well.

There are many countries which offer packs to make operations in Spain. It consist in a night in the Hotel, the operation and the flight.

Specially in England a lot of travell agencies sell this tipe of trips and they have a lot of demand.

A full face and neck lift procedure costs £4,750* € 5500in Spain, which includes a luxury private room for two nights. Compare this price with the UK where the surgery can cost between £7,000 and £12,000. 13900€ Breast augmentation in the Costa Del Sol in Spain can cost as little as £2,040**.

3-With increased media attention on beauty and perfection, celebrities and those alike are turning to plastic surgery more and more. Some take out loans for this purpose; one woman spent over $83,000 for 14 surgeries.

researchers believe that plastic surgery obsession is linked to psychological disorders

In some cases, people whose doctors refuse to perform any further surgeries, have turned to "do it yourself" plastic surgery, injecting themselves and running extreme safety risks.

5-• Do you know what plastic surgery is?

Everybody knows what it is because it’s a current affair.

• Which part of your body you don’t like?

The most disliked parts of the body are the nose and spare tire (what means that a person is a little bit fat).

• Have you ever think about operate it?

People opinion was divided; nearly the half of them would operate these parts of the body which they don’t like. But all of them share that they only would do one operation.

• How much do you think cost a breast operation?

Nearly nobody knew it. The majority thought that it was more expensive.

• Do you think Spanish plastic surgery is good compared with the other countries surgery?

People think that Spanish surgery isn’t good because of the current crisis Spain doesn’t have a good image in any aspects (economic, health, etc.). All of them were wrong.

• In your opinion, is necessary to be operated to be famous?

People opinions were that celebrities are under pressure because there always arrive younger people to Hollywood and If they want to continue being in the business they have to look like a 20 years old girl.

For example until 2005, Mubarak was the only candidate to run for the presidency. Only a 25% of the population of the country voted.

Self-avaluation:

In this last oral presentation I felt more self-secure. Maybe it was because I had practised this one more like the others, but in fact I do this presentation very easy. Sometimes, when I forget a part of my text I improvise and say some other word which means the same.

But I didn't like the topic of this oral presentation. I know that we had chosen it, but I mean the topic of social topic because it's always the same things. But, on the other side, the rebellions are a recent topic and it was interesting to know more about them.

In conclusion I think that I was more secure and had explained myself better like in the other oral presentations.

Oral presentation

Transcription:

Our Presentation is about Jamaica, also called Land of Springs or "Land of Wood and Water" in the indigenous language.

That’s an introduction about the important facts. It’s an island situated in the Caribbean Sea, in the south are Cuba, and at west are Hispaniola. The capital is Kingston, it’s one of the largest cities. About the religion, Christianity is the largest religion about 24%. The official language is English and the population are nearly 3 million people. 91.% are black,

The govermanent is a Government Parliamentary democracy and Constitutional monarchy. The monarch is Queen Elizabeth the second and in America it’s the thirth populous anglophone country.

Okay, this is the flag of Jamaica, with the colours green, yellow and black . And here you can see the island of Jamaica. This is the currency of Jamaica. It’s the dollar, the Jamaican dollar. And here you can see an hotel, the landscape.

And the music. Reggae is the most popular genre there. It was created in the 1990s. It is a mixture of reggae or with elements of other genres such as hip hop, R&B, jazz, rock 'n roll or indie rock and others. We found it interesting that the precursor of reggae was ska and was created in the 1950s.

Bob Marley is the idol of the reggae music . He is a singer and songwriter and you can hear some of his songs in the background. He was a vegetarian. He had got eleven children, and one of them singed now, he’s called Damian.

I’m going to talk about Jamaican sports. The most important sport is athletics. Jamaica has got the most important team in the world. Usian Bolt is the best on the Earth. He has the record of the 100 and 200 meters. When he was a child he began to play football on the street, but now he is the best in athletics.

In Jamaica athletic is important because school have an athletic programme in the curriculum and children begin to practise it very early.

Another sports in Jamaica are football and rugby. Football are practised in the streets and it’s also important. Here there are many photos . He is Usian Bolt. And here are the woman of Jamaica. He had won a medal of football I think.

Some curiosities about the island the Rastafari movement has 24,020 adherents. The principal idea from them is to legalize Cannabis.

And Ian Fleming, who is the autor of books and films of James Bond setting there, in the island, a lot of films.

The primary industries are agriculture, fishing because it’s an island , foresty and mining

There are also a lot of tourism because there comes a lot of people to see the beach, good weather and to see the Rastafarian ideology.

Okay, we found it interested that Jamaica has one of the highest murder rate in the world. There is a lot of violence and crime because If you want to buy a gun you can do it very easy. Specially in Kingston there are a lot of murders and crime. We found out that Jamaica attacks again gay people. For that Jamaica is called the most homophonic place on the earth. By the way, when we were doing our exposition on the computer a virus came. So Jamaica has attack us with the internet.

Here are some photos. Yes, there you can see that gays are very, not killed, but hated in Jamaica. And that’s the typical image.

There are a lot of crime, but don’t worry be happy! :)

Self- avaluation:

I think that Núria was better than me. I didn't have learnt it very well I didn't have time and so I improvise the most of the time. I also move often my hands and arms and I don't like it. While I'm doing the exposition I didn't notice that. I also forgot some phrases and I didn't say them, but there aren't very important. Maybe it was a little bit short, but for us it was long enough.

The good aspects were the music and the powerpoint. The music helped me a lot to be more relaxed and self-secure.

Self evaluation

Here are myself evaluation about my oral presentation:

I think it was a little bit too short, I have talked only the three minutes what we have to talk. Nearly all the others talked more time, about five minutes, but I think I have manage it in the time what we have to do.
For me, my PowerPoint was good because there aren't too much information and sentences, only the essential and important things and there were a lot of photos.
From my pronunciation... I think that I have talked correctly, with some grammatical mistakes, but I think that even so I was more or less good. I didn't look to my paper and notes and for that reason I forget one point of my oral presentation, but it wasn't very important.
At the beginning I felt nervous, but later I began to talk like I was talking to a friend, I only forget few times a word.

In conclusion I think that my presentation was a little bit short, but I talked calmly and explained my photos and my topic very well.

Oral presentation

Hello, today I'm going to talk about Kitesurfing. Last year I did an oral presentation"from that", but the difference is that now I pracise it!
This summer I have "made" a course. I was working all the summer and the last days I "have do" the course.

"At" the first day I was nervous because I had waited a long time for this day.I was "practing" on the beach, with a very little kite, to learn more or less how to fly it. And after we ... with another guy who did the course with me too, we prepare a big kite, like that and I "flew" it on the beach. At the end of the day I was very tired and I "went sleep" during the afternoon.

"At" the second day was very cold, but it was the day when I went into the water. But I "wear" a neoprene, like the photo, and I didn't "not" feel "too much" the water. First I began with the "body-drag". That is to know how you must fly the kite so that you can get up and after I do it with the board. It's very... It was very difficult and it's very tired because you must be with the arms up and look at the sky to... to watch at the kite and the wind.
And now, my present and future.I have bought all the material and my kite is a North Vegas from 2008. It's a very secure kite, it has nine square meter and it's like that but in yellow and black and it's very good for beginners but you can also jump and do another tricks.

That's me last Friday, when arrived the kite. I have bought it from Glen, who "is" my kite-teacher because he's selling his old ones, and I have bought it from "he."
And yeasterday arrived the board, I was very happy.
And in March I'm goinig to participe in a World wite meeting. It's every year in ten countries around the world and here in Spain it's in Sant Pere Pescador. It's only for girls and I want to participe.

And here are some more photos, that "was" me on the beach, yes.. and practising. And I have learnt to "kitesurf" and to fall.
Do you have any questions?

Thank you for your attention




P.S. that what are between " " are the mistakes what I said during the oral presentation.
