Self evaluation:

In my opinion our oral presentation is good. First: the power point. It has got big images and it isn't full of letter. Maybe we could have included a video or something similar.

Second: I think, Lydia and I hadn't got problems to speak in English, it's easy to understand and although we were nervous our voice seemed secure. Lydia has got a better pronunciation than me but I think people hadn't got problems to understand me.

Also, we didn't read. Maybe some difficult words but in my opinion we knew our text very well.

Third: the content. I think the content was good because we tried to talk about current topic. With the examples of operated women I think we have interacted with the public and that's good!

I can't put me a mark, I think the teacher and the other students have to do it, not me.
