 * Here are some points you should bear in mind. **

**What your presentation should include:** Do not go into too much detail. Remember: It is not a geography or history lesson! Keep it interesting and simple. Some points you may like to talk about: · Political system (monarchy, republic…) · Geography (do not get too technical: main cities, main rivers, mountains, different regions/areas) · Climate (again, do not get too technical- //hot summers, very cold in the north…//) · Most important historical facts. Do not give too many dates or names. · Typical dishes · Well known writers, musicians, athletes, etc.  · Popular traditions / sports…


 * Tips about giving presentations:**
 * Do not use too many technical words. If you do, write them on the board.
 * Make sure you understand everything you are saying and can pronounce all the words.
 * Use your own words. Do not copy or learn by heart.
 * Do not read from your notes.
 * Speak clearly and make sure everyone can understand you.
 * Use interesting material to illustrate your presentation.
 * It is a good idea to practice your presentation with a partner or in front of the mirror.
 * Breathe! (It helps you relax)


 * These are some of the points your teacher will be looking at: **
 * Use of English: grammar / vocabulary
 * Pronunciation
 * Clarity and fluency
