Presentation

There is a presentation assessment in ALS subject. I had prepared it since two weeks ago, because I think I need to understand the topic before I do the presentation. At the beginning, I had a problem understanding what we need to present. Are we present about the topic or the review of the journal? Our teacher didn’t explain it clearly to us, she just asked us to find a journal, and gave a sheet of journal overview. But after I asked she, I knew that I must present about the journal, not the topic. I have never done such kind of presentation before, so it spent more time than usual for prepare it. Today, I am the first one who doing the presentation. Even that I used to do some presentation before, but actually this is the first time I do it in English, so I feel nervous. I presented about transforming from face-to-face to online instruction, I choose this because it is my study background, so I hope that I can mastered this topic easily than others. I think that my presentation is going well, not so bad, with some mistakes of course. Such as: actually I know what icebreaker is, but because I want to use more academic language so I asked the teacher what type is icebreaker belong to. I realized there is a big mistake because I am the presenter, why I asked teacher, while at this time she is an audience. There are 3 other presentations after mine, and what they presented was different with mine. Because they focused on the topic, they did not discussed much about the journal, so I was scared, am I doing a wrong one. When I am listening to other student presentation, I realize that it is better to use simple sentence, than complex sentence and a lot of technical words, because not every one of our audience understand it. Then, teacher told us that we need to discussed more about the journal, not focus on the topic, may be next time the teacher need to explain more clearly the task to students. I hope that next time when I am doing a presentation again, I can do it better than today.
