Ibrahim formal presentation

I will write a report about Ibrahim Al Ali’s presentation. Ibrahim chose to present about polar bears. His presentation was talking about physical characteristics, where do the polar bears live, their food and the main factors leading to their extinction. His English was very good and easy to understand. Also, Ibrahim made his presentation with very clear pictures and he presented it well. He talked about the places and where can they live and he mentioned that the polar bears maybe will become extinct because of the weather. He also mentioned that the population trends of polar bears in 2005 were increasing about 30% but in 2009 the number of increasing was just 15%. Ibrahim also showed us a video which showed the problem of decreasing numbers. Moreover, he told us about their favorite food which is they like to eat the ringed seals. Finally, he gave us some information about how people can help and he also mentioned some solutions.

Abdul-Aziz and Jaber presentation

Abdul-Aziz and Jaber chose to present about electric cars. Abdul-Aziz began the presentation clearly and he explained the general idea. In the beginning of the presentation the words which are displayed on the screen were not clear to read. Firstly, Abdul-Aziz discussed the definition of electric cars. After that, Jaber explained the history of the electric cars and the reason why these types of cars are important. Then, he talked about the pollution and how the cars pollute the environment. After that, Jaber mentioned the positive points for electric cars and he also explained some new ideas for how the cars will be in the next 10 years and he said it will help the environment. Next, Jaber explained how to charge these cars and the quality of batteries; he mentioned a few suggestions for electricity supply stations and where is the best place for them. The work did not divide well because Jaber took the rest of the work. The body language for Jaber was good with loud and clear exposition but Abdul-Aziz was rather quiet and he contributed little to the oral presentation. The graphics were good, colorful and the animation was very good. Finally, Jaber also answered more than 3 questions and his discussion followed the presentation.

reflection 1

Firstly, the meeting went very well. We were different in the opinions
but in the end had perfected some of the points. The chairman, Hassan J began the meeting well by talking about the problem. He described the problem and some solutions for it. He highlighted some points also for our work. The secretary Hamdan did well also; he was writing well and organized the ideas.

I was the participant. I tried to help my group in organizing the meeting. And I learnt from the meeting some skills about conversations and how to fix and solve the problem.

Objectives:

As time passes, the UAE depends more and more on oil as the main supply of energy. Since oil is a non-renewable energy this can lead to the depletion of oil sooner rather than later. Oil as well is one of the main sources of pollution. Continuing depending on oil so much can lead to a harder life for the future generations. To stop the constant use of oil for energy we should turn to a cleaner and a more suitable source for energy. Renewable energies are the solution for a cleaner future.

The Minutes

We are in the class room W007, having a meeting about the problems of how we get our energy and the problems about the current ways of getting it. Hassan J. called us for the meeting due to the fact that he thinks that oil is a huge problem.

Hassan J. said that oil is a huge problem worldwide; he said that it causes a lot of pollution which will affect our health and the health of our future generations. He said as well that oil is one of the main reasons of damaging the ozone layer due to the pollution that it causes resulting in global warming.

Hassan A. said that this problem mainly just affects our country; the reason is because some countries don’t have enough oil to use for energy. Hamdan A. explained the situation saying that those countries that don’t have enough oil usually import oil from a country that is rich in oil which makes this a global problem. Hassan J. agreed with Hamdan A. that this is a global problem.

Hamdan A. said that oil is a problem but using alternative sources of energy can be really expensive and time consuming; it won’t be as efficient as oil, which in result can cost a lot of money without offering us the necessary amount of energy. Hassan J. disagreed with Hamdan A. and said that if we use geothermal energy as a source of energy, even if it does consume time and it’s expensive, it will greatly reduce the pollution that we have in the UAE.

 Hassan A. said that the best alternative way of getting energy in the UAE is solar power. He said because in the UAE the sun usually shines giving us the advantage of harvesting a lot of energy through solar panels. Hassan J. partially agreed with Hassan A. but Hassan J. said that using a lot of solar panels can be too expensive to use it to supply a lot of areas in the UAE with solar energy. He said that getting energy through geothermal sources was a good idea since the UAE is a country with a really high temperature giving it the possibilities of being a good place for geothermal energy.

Hamdan A. said that we can use all three types of alternative energies which are solar, geothermal and wind energy. He said that since the UAE is a desert country it will have the possibility of having a good amount of wind. He said that using all three will first cut down the costs of just using solar and lower the amount of time to build multiple geothermal plants. Hassan A. and Hassan J. agreed with Hamdan’s point of view.

At the end of the meeting we all came to a conclusion. Hassan A. said that using these types of source of energy can dramatically reduce the amount of oil that we use for energy and hopefully in the future we won’t depend much on oil. Hassan J. agreed with Hassan A. and he added that heading towards a cleaner source of energy can allow us to have a healthier future for the next generations. Hamdan A. agreed with both of them and added that this will probably lead to less pollution and the conservation of the amount of oil we have for the next generations.

tips for presenters

1-      Don’t memorize your presentation. Make brief notes to guide you.

2-      Practice many times.

3-      Relax, take a deep breath, and wait until the audience is quiet.
