 SOME TIPS BEFORE DOING THE  PRESENTATIONS!!!!                

Hello guys!

- You are going to begin the presentations and I want to give you some tips to take into account when you do a presentation:

    1. You should face the audience.

    2. Body language is also important.

    3. You can use a guideline as a helpful tool but try not to              read it while presenting.

    4. Try to improve your pronunciation.

    5. Use easy vocabulary and expressions.

    6. Be as natural as you can.

GOOD LUCK AND I HOPE YOU'LL ENJOY THE PROJECTS!
