I learned that there are different kind of platform that supports for establishing a
connection between one or more people. At classes, I have been improved personal experience

Analysis of performance
According to Gipps' model, I have given presentation in university that has enabled me to
identify various components that are essential for my personal development. The presentation
skill I have gained through practising and rehearsing many times. The outcome that I have
derived through this particular session of presentation is that there are several strengths &
weakness that has given me this specific experience.
The biggest strength that I have came to know via this is communication skill. I was
fluent while delivering my thoughts along with proper usage of grammar. The another reason
which made me feel good regarding my communication skill is related to conveying method. I
have properly expressed my thoughts with appropriate body posture & gestures that has given
positive impact on listeners. The feedback received at the end of presentation was all about
appreciating my way of speaking with right tone that ensures same thought is received by
listener. Being concise and patient through sharing information of my presentation has shown
positive attitude of mine. My facial expression has made communicating pattern more
convenient for audience to get straight forward learning about the topic.
On the other side, I have evaluated that the challenges I need to overcome for next
presentation is stage fear. I was shivering from inside while speaking in front of large audience.
The self-esteem was very low when I was speaking. The facial expression was able to recognized
that I have public speaking fear. I started to feel anxiety. Another experience which makes me to
believe stage fear is dry mouth, heart racing, blushing trembling, sweating, etc. I faced shaking
voice problem for a while at the initiate time when I entered the stage. The organized way for
conveying my thoughts ash been shuffled due to stage fear.
