When she came to New Zealand ,she was confuse two rainbow in the sky.She said New Zealand is more beautiful and cleaner than her country. Her short plan is pass the course.
(introduction myself) (presentation at home)
6 Task 1 reflection
For Task 1, I had to introduce my classmate Shohreh. I have a little bit shy,so I record the video at home. Before I making the video I was a little bit nervous,I practise several times. I was a little bit apprehensive and exciting before I started speaking. I started slowly and spoke slowly until I finished.During the interview I felt very nervours, But after I saw the video on my blog, I felt really proud of what I'd achieved.
This is my first time to record a video.It is not hard to me. I think recording a video is a good way to help someone who doesn't speak English very well. It helped me improve my English. It can help me have more confident.If I find mistakes in the video,I can remember my mistake and do it better next time.It can also help me improve my English grammar and other English skills.
I watched my video, and noticed some hesitations. Sometimes,I forgot my sentence. My English grammar had some mistakes. English speaking is just so-so. My expression is a little nonconfidence. I always think what I should say and mumble.
Overall,I think my introduction is not bad. because it was my first time. I hope I will do it better next time.So I need more practice and study hard. Thank you.
