a) presentation skills
  To make a great presentation I have to think about 4 things: voice, gesture, eye contact and slides.  according to the previous oral speech assessment, I could do well at eye contact and improve the voice skills. My voice was the best that I have never spoken as that before at the speech so that I hope that I would enable to speak louder. I expect that the eye contact is the most easiest thing to do. Reason why, the thing that need for preparing is remembering the text.
 However, I am not comfortable at gesture and slides. Organising the slide and using the slide efficiently is the hardest thing for me.

b) collaboration
  practicing together, present, organisation, communication and leadership are the important for working as a group. I am not talkative so I do not communicate with others regularly. Collaboration can be my biggest obstacle for this assessment.


c) Analysing skills
   narrative elements, elements of friction, reading with analytical eyes, theme and characters are the key for analysing the book. I am not good at reading.
