Hiya!
I told you a couple of days ago, and I'm pretty positive I mentioned this before, that you were going to have the opportunity of giving some presentations/talks in the classroom for both your teacher and all your classmates' delight!
This is going to be a great chance to train and test your impromptu speech skills as well as face and cope with (and ultimately succeed at it!) stage fright!
It is obvious that I have named these cool oncoming talks after the ubiquitous TED talks, which seem to be just everywhere. I do not really know what TED stands for, but NED stands for "Natural, Enlightening, Dynamic", which means that, unlike their more famous counterparts (TED talks, which usually drag on for more than 20 minutes and you end up wondering where's the bloody substance in them! It's like, "get to the goddamned point already, man!"- or "ma'am!" ;-)), they are meant to be interesting, kinda brief (no shorter than 4 minutes but no longer than 8!) and just featuring you and some background visuals, so we stick to the "natural" component of them.
You can, for sure, accompany your speech with some visuals of any kind (ppt files, images), but of course, make sure they do not end up replacing your speech! That is what we are/ I am interested in!
I'm sure you have plenty of interesting things to share with us!
