Tips on how to present

Tips for presenters
1.       Don’t memorize your presentation. If you need to, make brief notes, possibly on small cards, to guide you.
2.       Practice many times.
3.       At the start of your presentation, relax, take a deep breath and wait until the audience is quiet.
4.       Speak loudly and clearly, and use your voice for stress and emphasis.
5.       Use gestures to show meaning. Make them slowly and clearly.
6.       Use simple visual aids that everyone can see.
7.       Make eye contact with the audience as you speak.
8.       Don’t say “Finished.” or “That’s all.” Smile and say “Thanks you”.
9.       Think about how you can do better next time.
I think number 4 is the most important , speaking loudly and clearly is essential. Tip 2 is also important as practice should be done over and over again , to avoid any mistakes while presenting.

Mohamed Al-Qubaisi

I’d like to introduce Mohamed Al-Qubaisi.

He was born on 16th June 1993 and so he is now 17 years old. He was born in Abu Dhabi and also lives in Abu Dhabi. He has five brothers and five sisters. His father is a soldier in the Air Force, and soon to be retired. In his free time, Mohamed likes computer games and watching movies. He has visited several places in the world; two places which he visited more than once are Germany and Australia. He went to Switzerland last year with his cousin, Ghaith Al-Muhairbi. They went to Mountreux which is located at Lake Geneva. They loved the place and took a lot of photographs of it.

His ambition is to be a successful engineer.

His best holiday was when he went to Barcelona, Spain with his friends two years ago. It was his first time to go there and he would certainly like to go there again this summer.

He thinks the best thing about ADMC is the way of teaching and of course the teachers. All his teachers are excellent at what they teach.

And the worst thing is the attendance policy: 5%, 10%, etc. He thinks this is too tough.

His motto is: What goes around, comes around. I have searched the motto and found out that it comes from an Indian religious concept called "Karma" in contradistinction to 'faith' espoused by Abrahamic religions.

Now you know a little bit about Mohamed Al-Qubaisi, his family and leisure activities.
