final reflection

Hi, everyone.
I'm sorry for being absent from the last class and I could not say thank you for everyone.

Here are my final reflections.


1. I realized my volume of voice in English is lower than I had expected.
What I thought the most useful technique is how to make slides effectively.
I also learned how others have a presentation effectively as audience.

2. First, I want to improve my volume of voice, a little more louder.
Then, I will pay attention to emphasis, pause and speed of my speech.
Next, I want to use gestures.

3. Before taking this class, I hated presentations.
But now, I have more confident than before and I want to practice presentation in English more.
Presentation is no longer fear for me, probably.

By the way, I can make a presentation in Japanese with much more confident and enjoy it than before. I think this is because I got some confidence with speaking in public.

Thank you everyone!

Reflection
We researched and made slides each part individually.
But at the same time, we used google services effectively so that we advised each other.
Through the rehearsal in the class, we improved our presentation much better, especially time management and slides.
Personally, I practiced my part many times, so I felt I could speak more fluently and with confident than the previous presentation.
I could make my slide effectively.
On the other hand, I couldn't use gestures at all.
After all, I have improved volume of voice, so as a next step, I want to use my voice effectively (speed, pause and emphasis) and also use gestures.
