Presentation commentttttt
After seeing my presentation on ClickView I have some more comments to make in addition to my old ones. I reckon mine was a good presentation, overall. However there are several points where I should work on.Firs of all, instead of pointing to the audience, I looked at the screen far too much. Moreover I noticed that I tend to repeat the same words again and again (bunch) or connective ones (like).Then I said "whatever" and "everything", because I didn't have the right word...For what concern the technical part of the presentation I an aware that the fact that I needed to go to the laptop and click, has stopped the flow of the presentation itself.Finally if I had to do it again, I would take that long quotation away of the presentation, because it distracted the audience while I was talking.

EFFECTIVE READING EVALUATION
As a trial of effective reading, I have chosen to read an article drawn by the Herald: "British car industry: victrim of its own success".
My purpose was to discvover the main causes of its decline.
Through the study of the survey, I discovered that the article was centred on the high number of unsold cars (due to the crisis) producted in Britain and the considerable expense that the companies have to face, in order to store them.
Thanks to the survey, I already knew the major casue of the decline.
After that, through the question asked to myself: "Is the Bitish car industry victim of its own success?" I qiuckly managed to get the other cause: workers redundance.
This process was pretty useful for the understanding and the search of specific information in a text. It might make the reading a bit longer, but is well worth.

Then I want to start the Spanish vocabulary as well as revising the tenses studied in class.
Finally I need to start the History essay, because I want to take it out of my way as soon as possible. Few but quite tough targets this week.
