After presentation~Self evaluation

It was our turn to present this week. The topic we chose is "grammar". Frankly speaking, we both know that
the topic is serious and boring for English learners. It is hard to find some samples interesting to show to everybody.
I was so nervous when presenting to everyone.It was one of my defects, I thought.
Many people have told me that i speak too fast to understand clearly. I know this kind of defect disadvantages my presentation. But I have no idea how to improve this situation.
I tried hard to find so many on-line resources and share to classmates who wanna learn English well.
And really hope that will help all the students with limited budget to buy English-learning tools.
It was the last class of this semester.Sorry for my incaution that entered this course too late.
the parts that really intrigue me are penpal and travelling English.
I had made some penpal since i was an high school student.
One lived in Belgium and the other lived in Ohio,USA.
But we lost in touch after all because of moving to taipei.
Now ,I still keep in touch with my penpal who lives in China. we encourge each other to study hard and make a
wish to meet each other in America.

peer evaluation~final presentation

First of all, I apologize for my absence last tuesday due to so much overloaded homework.
Two groups presented this week.
First group choose "speaking" as their topic. they have introduced some interesting and useful websites that can really help students to learn English well.
I am interested in this website they introduced-

this website contains various topics for learners to choose which they are insterested in.
In my personal opinion, "speaking" is very general, they can choose some direction
to introduce in more detail.
the second group is formed with classmates major in design department.
They did a good example for presentation.The topic they chose is general,too.So they
choose some specific topics to discuss with.
I thought that's not enough if a speaker just tells us what the website they found and browse through it when they are in their persentation.They can organize the information they found in many websites and present with it.

Presentation

We presented the library design project today. Most of the classmates stayed up all night for the sake of completing the architectural drawing.Today wasn't really my day. i went to an printing workshop to print my final project,but after an hourthey found out the printer didn't work at all.i was so frustrated and went to another printing workshop.While i prepared to go back to school,it rained cats and dogs.I presented my design project with a totallywet body.
