Reflection of the presentation

浏览244次

This is the last week that we had our regular course. This is also the time when I gave my first and last presentation. 
On the preparation 
Actually I’ve put a lot of time and energy into preparing for this speech despite those heavy homework burdens. I spent much time and energy in doing research on the Internet, collecting relevant materials in order to make a good PPT, and organizing sentences to clarify what I want them to know. And I did rehearse it several times before finally standing in front of the class.
On the performance
I got stage fright as usual when I first sit by the platform. Then I started out without turning to my script for help that often, which to me, is a progress compared to my former performances. Gradually, I did not feel that nervous, however, there came another problem. My mouth went faster than my brain. That means before my brain actually found out there was something wrong or imperfect in the words I was saying, my mouth had already finished the sentences. And the self-correcting and the pursuit of perfection left me with those uncertainty in completing a sentence as well as created some fractions of meaningless words.
I was trying to overcome stage fright and distract myself from concentrating on my words and grammar too much, so I pay more attention to the pronunciation and the stress of certain information in a sentence. It worked to some extent.
Before I saw the feedback from my classmates, I had a generally evaluation on my performances. If I were asked to give myself scores according to the rubric, it would be:
1.5  2.5  3.4  4.4  5.5  6.4  7.4  8.3  9.4  10.3  11.5  
total 46
I was glad that I have made a progress even if it may not be a big step.
But my unconfident and the constant stage fright kept bothering me.

On the result
According to the all-together 17 feedback evaluations from my classmates, I got an average score of 49/55. I would like to thank them for their attention and tolerance first.
Now I will discuss the strength and weakness in my presentation.
Almost all people wrote in their feedbacks that my PPT is good.
It seemed that my efforts in making those slides paid off.
 Some of them mentioned other aspects like: the information is helpful, the pronunciation is fine, or the details are adequate and so forth.
When it comes to the weakness, most people wrote about my voice. Some said it’s not loud enough, some said it’s not sure enough.
All the comments lead to one conclusion, that is, I have to do more on interaction with the audience. This is one thing that I was concerning about when I was preparing, I thought about asking someone to talk about his or her connection with McDonald, but I was afraid that there would not be any volunteer, so I give up that idea. 
More important for me, I think, is to learn how take it easy and act more naturally on stage. I hope I will make progress on that aspect in the future.

P.S.  
1.	I am going to take the oral English tests of CET-6, and I feel confused about how to prepare for it.
2.	Could I e-mail you the PPT of this presentation as required?
3.	You talked about the meaning of life on your reply last time, but that is too general. I have asked him about his interest but surprisingly found out that he had nothing that he wanted to do in particular. I felt sorry about that. That may results from his more than 12 years of education that puts grades above everything else. In the place where I come from, education is not always like that. I think I have to work hard to find a way to help him discover the meaning of life. That’s pretty much what I can do at present.

about your presentation

6 months ago

I could feel your efforts in preparing your presentation. You had many interesting pictures to present the background information of McDonald. You gave a clear outline at the beginning of your presentation and organized your speech around it. You spoke fluently, but somehow not very confidently (maybe this has something to do with your personality). Next time when you present, don't forget to have more eye-contact with your audience.  Here comes my evaluation for each item:
1-3.4, 4.3, 5.4, 6.4, 7.5, 8.4, 9.3, 10. 4 11.5. Total: 44. 
Though I appreciate your organization, I didn't give you a five because the focus should be put on the influence part. 

P.S. 
1. About CET 6. You can practice talking on a variety of topics. 
2. You can email me your PPT. My address is peggydingyu@gmail.com.
