Semi-Formal:-
My semi-formal presentation was bout I Pad vs. laptop, I spoke about laptop.  My preparation for the presentation was pretty good. I myself as a laptop owner  I had an idea on what are the components of the laptop and what is good to have to build a laptop. On top of that internet research helped me the most.  I got some information on the history and the engineer who invented it. To be honest I was not satisfied with my semi-final performance. Even thought I had very reliable information but I couldn’t get the best out of it. I could have done better with more practice. Best thing I did was gathering information on my presentation and one thing I want to improve is my power point slides. Our semi-formal slides were a miss, but at the last moment we had to emphasis, otherwise we wouldn’t have presented at all on that day.  One thing for sure I wouldn’t do different and that’s the information gathering about my presentation. I will improve my slides and do more practice before the final day.

Formal:-
By watching videos of the previous student’s presentation and some other on the YouTube, I was able to find the best way to present my work. I learned from their mistakes and experience how to do better when presenting. I learned when to use the body gestures and when to do the pauses. I learned when to ask question to get the crowed attention.  Many things changed in my last performance, I didn’t have brain freeze like I did in the semi-formal, and I knew what I wanted to say and how to deliver it.  Keeping in mind my teacher’s comments, I added little information on my slides which helped me present better.

 Communicative skills.

During this semester I improved many different skills.  Comparing my present self to few month back, I know I made a huge step.  I never knew the importance of body gestures and the pauses.   When to ask, when to be asked and considering the level of understanding to the other people.  The biggest challenge for me would be, delivering information to people don’t speak the same tongue as I do and the crowed not being interested in my presentation.  In this situation I should look for a level that they could understand it easily.  Not speaking sophisticated sentences only people working on the same field as I do could understand. But before starting the presentation I should look for a way to melt the ice between the both of us.
