Report on presentation


Our colleges Abdullah Ali and Khalid Abdullah did a presentation about land pollution in class T001. Abdullah started the presentation by a brief introduction.

Then he talked about the causes of pollution and he gives us the main reasons of it then he discussed the effects of pollution on the different parts of life. After that Khalid continued the presentation and he talked about the ways of reducing the pollution and how we can save the planet and the he showed some possible solutions that could be used.

The presentation style was good and the points were simple and well arranged and both of them were using notes to be organized during the presentation. In general the presentation is good and both of them had a loud and clear voice. Abdullah was reading from the notes and his eye contact with the audiences was not good enough.

In conclusion they did well but they can improve their skills by practicing more.

class 101


Now we reach the end of the semester after taken a new useful class not in our major only but in our life. One of the classes that I will always remember and appreciate to taken it is the English 101 with Mr. John Vrhovnik.

I enjoyed working with the professor to improve my communication English skills; one of these skills is how to prepare and organize a meeting. Before when I had a meeting I was coming without any arrangement but now I learned that the good meeting depends on the great agenda and planning. And hopefully use these skills in my next meetings and of course always be on the time.

I had some challenges in this semester and the most challenge thing was doing the semi-formal presentation, because I wondered how we do a presentation without using a PowerPoint. However I did the presentation then I found that the PowerPoint is a way that supports us in doing presentation not the opposite. So to deal with this problem I used another strategy as our professor use a story or a topic that interest the audience and do a lot of practice so you don’t have to use a notes.

In conclusion, it’s my pleasure to work with a great man and I will work by his notes. Also I will try to improve my English in the future and always learn from the mistakes.
