Today's English public speaking class covered several topics related to structuring and delivering presentations. The class included partner and small group discussions, listening exercises to practice comprehension, and learning formal and informal expressions for presentations. Students also learned the WISE formula for introducing topics - Welcome the audience, Introduce yourself, Say the topic, Explain the relevance - and practiced structuring presentations by ordering sentences in a logical flow and filling in transition words.
