Mai, I have viewed your video recording of our presentation in week 1. Here I would like to give my comments on your presentation which may help you to improve your presentation skills in the future. ==**Topic** == The choice of your topic may appropriate to the audience as you gave some beneficial information to the audience about the carnivorous plant and your speech is very specific to the topic.

Introduction
In the introduction of your topic, you able to gain the attention of the audience as you introduce your topic clearly. You also made the introduction interesting by asking questions to the audience. However, you did not made a clear preview of your body of the speech.

Body
When it comes to the body of the speech, the main points was clear. All the supporting points, organizational pattern and connectives are clear and effective. However, you have forgotten the points at the middle of your speech. Thus, we unable to catch the whole idea of your speech. There also a lack of connectives, but I hope you can improve it in your future presentations.

Conclusion
In the conclusion of your speech, you did not summarize the main points clearly. But, you just made a general statement instead of a memorable statement. So, I hope you can improve that part in the future.

Language
Your language was very clear, concise and we hardly any grammar errors in your speech. However, sometimes you get confused with the tenses. So, you may give more attention on the usage of tenses. There was a standard pronunciation in your speech.

Delivery
When it comes to the delivery, I have to admit that you are a effective non-verbal communicator as you have the effective speakers voice which is loud and clear. About the time management, it was very good as able to fulfill the minimum time requirement. You also had good eye contact at the beginning, but it was decreasing at the middle of the speech. So, you may improve on it.

In overall Mai, you are a good presenter. You have the high level of self-confidence and you exactly know when to make a good eye-contact with the audience. Keep up the good work...=)
