Blog Presentation



       We are require to do a presentation about our blog and what are the activities then we've done in academic skill class. Then at the end of the the presentation, one of the other students must comment on the presentation. The next class of academic skill, each of us must comment on each other presentation.Each of us must give 3 good things and 3 things that we can improve for our friend presentation. 
 
       For me, the best presentation was from Samira. Her voice was very clear and her presentation was good. She know how to attract the audience attention.Plus, she did her presentation with confidence. However, she always use technical words that the audience never heard before.

      At the end of of the class, Miss Nadyra told us the good thing about us and mine was spontaneous. Can easily make up something very quick and can easily accomplish a work in a unique kind of way.
