Today was supposed to be the day for my classmates to present about their book they had read these days but, the plan changed and the presentation day was posponed to next week. After hearing this from Mr.Paterson, everyone had smiles on their face and was feeling pleased with the change. As today wasn't the actual presentation day, we listened to other peoples presentation in groups of 4~5 people and gave advices in order for them to understand the points which can be improved in their presentation. I honestly thought that this activity was very meaningful as every group member could be told their negative points which can't be found by the presenter themselves but from the listener. Additionally, todays activity was a great chance to have a better idea,image of how the presentation slides should look like by observing their presentation. I was astonished to see them speaking without looking at the script. They all looked confident and had perfect eye contacts. Now, I have a rough idea of my presentation.
