Les.7 - Presentations

The behavior of the speaker

You have to do:

• Dress formal and be professional.
• Know your audience.
• Speak comfortably and clearly.
• Check the spelling and grammar.
• Give a brief overview at the start. Then present the information. Finally review important points.

You mustn't do:

• Don't carry a lot of items when you want to present.
• Don't fold your arms. Be aware of body language.
• Do not turn your back on the audience. Try to position the monitor so you can speak from it.
• Do not read the presentation. Practice the presentation so you can speak from bullet points. The text should be a cue for the presenter rather than a message for the viewer.

Rules of correct presentation

You have to do:

• Use bold and different sizes of those fonts for captions and subheadings.
• Use different colors, sizes and styles (e.g., bold) for impact.
• Use dark text on light background or light text on dark background. However, dark backgrounds sometimes make it difficult for some people to read the text.
• Include only necessary information.
• Use one or two large images rather than several small images.
• Arrange images vertically or horizontally.

You mustn't do:

• Don’t use more than four fonts in any one publication.
• Avoid italicized fonts as these are difficult to read quickly.

THE FIGHTING (2014)

THE FIGHTING (2014)

Director: Gopi Krishnan 

Starring: Sindhu Sreenivasa Murthy, Joshey John

Country: India 

Today I have watched a funny short film, called "Fighting". This is a very interesting movie with an unexpected ending.

At first it seems as if the girl screaming at her boyfriend, but later it becomes clear that she is alone in the room. At that point I thought, maybe, she tried to give her emotions into the void in order to not to argue with her boyfriend. I was wrong. Later, the girl leaves home, goes to the guy and asks: "Will the neighbors complain about the noise?" . In general, it shows young couple, which just chooses a new home in some interesting way.

At first it seems that this film will be filled with a deep sense, because of the name and the beginning of the film. But in the end we can see that this film was made for fun.

Therefore, I would recommend to spend a moment to watch this movie and laugh.

My questions are:

2. What is the difference 1-2 exoplanet(s) from our Earth?
3. What technologies are used to learn more about the Universe?

My favorite channel (Lesson Fifteen)

I would like to tell you why I love this channel.

https://www.youtube.com/user/PTXofficial


1. Pentatonix - fantastic band, that does "covers" of famous music.
2. They do not just do "cover" songs, they sing in several voices, which is why it seems that not 5 people sound, but chorus sings
3. They do not use musical instruments. This band has three main voices, man who sings by bass and man who sings as a drums
4. They can help in the learning of English because their music is excellent. You want to listen to it again and again. And the more we listen to a foreign language, the better we understand it.
