Oral Presentations

Yesterday, in language, my classmates and I had to give some oral presentations for our language classes. To tell the truth, this oral presentations help us a lot in the developing of our speaking skill. Also they are good for loosing shame when talking in public.
This kind of talks are very interesting as well because you get to know many new things related to different issues. Moreover, there is some research that has to be done in order to prepare your presentation, so it is a taugh work.
In yesterday's meeting, important issues were shown. Jesi talked about bulimia and anorexia. Two important diseases for our time. She did an excellent research on a website that teenagers have created to tackle their eating disorders. The pictures that we saw of these girls were shocking. It is unbeleivable that been so skinny they see themselves as cows.
Mauricio presented something about psychodelics drugs. This topic is very interesting too because many people use this kind of drugs, which can be harmful for your health.
Raquel talked about good shoping habits. That is, how to buy correctly. It was very helpful to know something about this because not only we have to know what we buy but also what we eat.
Juana presented something about Shiwi girls who live in a small towm in Egypt, and how bit by bit they are recovering their freedom. As most eastern women, they are submitted to men's authority. But know they are able to choose their husbands, to earn their own money and to be more independent. This is just the beginning some say. I hope this goes on in the future.
I talked about recycling. This is atrend that should be apply in our country too because it helps to protect the environment, and it is good for diminishing the amount of garbage we produce.
Everyday we can learn new things. So the process of uducation is never over!
