  6. Hello, it’s such a delight for me Amani Antoul, Khawla Abdeloinisse, Fatma Abdi, and Asma Bouchlaka, students of third year Business English, Groupe 1
    To argue with you this morning the notion of ‘‘Environmental Terrorism’’. What is important that it's not nearly as visible an effect which attracted us to dive into the negative impact of this strange phenomena that has recently spread its dark shadows over our country.
    In this presentation we are going to reach the following three points;
     Negative effects of Terrorism in the Environment.
     Its results.
     Expectations about our Environment future beneath these monster digits.
    This may lead us to take from 20 to 30 minutes, so please feel free to ask us whenever you want.
    You are all aware about reflections that the tragedy of the recent terrorist attacks have been to our society, and we are sure that you have had your own part of this dilemma speaking about the bad performance of the temporary government which may be the direct reason that cost us the lives of countless personnel who will be always remembered as heroes.
    In the clamor of these remembrances, there is one voice that is silent, Mother earth.

But you can still improve it by explaining why the topic is relevant for the audience and what is the purpose of your presentation. Then, it is better to limit your presentation to 3 parts. The conclusion is not counted as a part of the body of your presentation. How will you help the audience to remember the main points of your presentation?

  18. Ivory Group (New version)

    Hello, it’s such a delight for me Amani Antoul, Khawla Abdeloinisse, Fatma Abdi, and Asma Bouchlaka, students of third year Business English, Groupe 1,to argue with you this morning the notion of ‘‘Environment and Terrorism’’.
    Before I start , I’m going to take back to the tragedy of September 11th which you all aware about, but here it is what was hidden on you: When the Twin Towers were unexpectedly attacked on September 11th, all of lower Manhattan was enveloped in toxic dust clouds rising almost 1000 feet into the air. Thanks to drifting winds at the time of the attack, these dust clouds slowly moved south, choking the inhabitants Brooklyn and Staten Island, slowly depositing an unknown cocktail of gases and airborne particulates all over everything. This may not be the real intention behind the terrorist people; in fact, it is much more dangerous than their real one, that’s why we choose to dive into the negative impact of this strange phenomenon (terrorism) that has recently spread its dark shadows over our country.
    In this presentation we are going to reach the following two points;
     Negative effects of Terrorism in the Environment.
     Expectations about our Environment future beneath these monster digits.
    This may lead us to take from 20 to 30 minutes, so please feel free to ask us whenever you want.
