Tips for presenters

1. Don’t memorize your presentation. Make brief notes to guide you.
2. Practice many times.
3. Relax, take a deep breath, and wait until the audience is quiet.
4. Speak loudly and clear, and use your voice for stress and emphasis.
5. Make eye contact with the audience as you speak.
6. Use gestures to show meaning. Make them slowly and clearly.
7. Use simple visual aids that everyone can see.
8. Don’t say, "Finished." Or "That's all." Smile and say "Thank You".
9. Think about how you can do better next time.

I think two important tips are 'Practice many times', and 'Don't memorize your presentation'.

Personal introduction

Ghaith Abdulla

I’d like to introduce Ghaith Abdulla

He was born on 9th of August 1992 and so he is now 18 years old. He was born in Abu Dhabi and now lives in Abu Dhabi. He has six brothers. His father used to be a soldier but is now retired. In his free time, Ghaith likes computer games and watching movies in the cinema and also playing football. He has visited many countries, Oman, China, United States, KSA, and Europe. He went to KSA this year and had much fun on the road trip.

His ambition is to be a successful businessman, perhaps in the building trade.

His best holiday was when he went to the US, last year. He has been to the US several times and he likes it because he has so many friends there and likes the places there.

He thinks the best thing about ADMC is the teaching which is so much better than in secondary school. His English teachers, for example, speak English all the time and so he has to do the same in his English classes.

And the worst thing is the attendance policy: 5%, 10%, etc. He thinks this is too tough.

His motto is: failure is just one step on the road to success.

Now you know a little bit about Ghaith and his leisure activities.
