      Today, I did my presentation, and by watching my video, I found many things that I need to improve from my presentation. 

      The first point is that I keep saying "um..." during my presentation. Almost every time that I change the slide, I was saying "um.." that annoys the audience. I want to stop saying those things, to make the audience concentrate on my presentation. The second point is that I was looking at the slide for a long time. The problem is, that I was not realizing that I am looking at the slide, and misunderstood that I was having eye contact with the audience. When I looked at my video, I was looking at the slide so much. I wasn't doing the practice without looking at the slide, so I thought it is important to practice in a similar situation to the real presentation. 

     However, there were many points that I enhanced compared to last year. As I practiced many times before the presentation, I was able to map the room in a natural way, and in an appropriate way. For example, I stood left when I was talking about human cloning, and I stood right when I was talking about our familiar life. Also, I was very confident when I start the presentation, as I practiced many times before it. I was strongly looking forward to having a presentation in front of the audience. Because I was confident, I was able to speak smoothly (maybe it was too fast), and fluently. 

    For the presentation slides, I think the slide became better compared to the last year. I searched for the photo that completely matches the content that I want to say, and makes the slide easy to understand for the audience. However, in some of the slides, I did not write the keyword so maybe, this made it sometimes difficult for the audience to understand the point. 

    Finally, I am very happy with my presentation because I got much better on it compared to the last year. I thought practicing is very important to be better on the presentation, so I would like to practice on it if I have another opportunity to have a presentation.  For this time, I felt the presentation is very fun and enjoyable, so I am looking forward to do some more of them.
