Self-Evaluation:
Well, about this oral presentation, I think that it was the best of the three that I did in this course. I suppose that now, we have more practice and we know how we can talk in front our friends, what we can do to don't get nervous, how we must prepare it...
I think that these three oral presentations are very useful during the course, 'cause we practice a lot our english and we can overcome our scenic panic!
In conclusion, I think that it was good:)


Write down a LITERAL TRNASCRIPTION of your presentation.

Laura: Laura: Well, I'll talk about the problems that involve have to much water in one country and as you know, people who don't have enough water in her country want to have more, but the others that have a lot ot water don't want to have more.
For example, one problem that exists in a lot of places around the world is the inundation, when it starts to rain very hard or when the sea comes to the Earth. They can lose their houses or maybe their families or simply their own life. It happens usually in countries like China and Japan.
Our world it's really contaminated, so, with all the gases that we have in the sky, it's probably that theses acids will be converted to acid rain. This is a photo when acid rain came to the Earth and hurt the forest.
Other meteorological phenomenon really dangerous for the flora it's the hailstorm, 'cause it can destroy a lot of nature in a really small period of time. For example, in our town, Sant Pere, on last summer, on September, there was a really hard hailstorm and all the farmers lost their apple crop, and their lost a lot of money. It was a really big desaster.
Also, in a place that there is stagnant water there are a lot of possibilities that mosquitoes come so it's really dangerous, 'cause now, in our zone are coming the Tiger mosquitoes, and this type of bite of mosquito it's really painful and really dangerous for the human.
On the other hand, when we are inside a car it's really dangerous drive a car when it's raining, 'cause for the driver it's really difficult to control the car with the rain in the road. Also, other problem that we have it's when a river it's passing on a road, and the current can carry our car away from the river and we can die in a few minutes. About this case, the problem isn't the water, 'cause the persons know that they mustn't pass to this place when it's raining, so the problem are the persons that they aren't conscient about of they are doing at this moment.

Laura: As you know, now we are in a period of time that we are missing a lot of water for our lives so I want to put some advices to save more water in our country.
- We must close all the taps of our houses correctly.
- We mustn't take a bath, we must take a shower.
- We mustn't clean our car in our home, we must go to Manu Groc.
- We mustn't have swimming pools in our homes, we must go to the beach or a public swimming pool.
- Switch on the washing machine when it's full of clothes.

In conclusion, we must save a lot fo water 'cause we don't know when we'll really need it. As you know before our oral presentation, a lot of water it's the same that don't have enough.
Well, we think that in our geography situation, we are in a place that we don't have a lot of water but we don't miss it in our times, so we think that in our geography situation we're good.
Well, if you have any questions we'll try to answer it and be water my friend!


Check your Language and Structure. Can you correct your mistakes?
Well, I think that in this third oral presentation I did less mistakes, but I don't know what happened that I used to say "bueno"...
Generally, I think that during the course I've improved my speaking and my pronunciation. course
