Thanks a lot, Amel and Ines for posting your introduction. I can see all the different parts of a good introduction, except the one about "Helping the audience to remember the presentation". Moreover, ".Did you know that the number of student benefitting from a grant increased from 50,000 in 2000 to 102,000 in 2007?" should come after introducing yourself, not at the end...
ReplyDeleteThere are also a few typing and grammar mistakes that you can correct. Keep up the good work !
thanks a lot Mrs .what about this one ! but we dont understand how to help the audience to remember.

Yes, that's better. To help your audience remember the information, will you give your audience handouts, post your presentation online or send it by email?
ReplyDeleteJust one more point I have forgotten to mention: it would be better to divide your presentation into 3 parts!
Good work!
Good Morning everybody! We are very pleased to meet you here today. We, Fahima Maamar,Mouna Bouzommita and Sabrine Drine, as officers of the Ministry of Higher Education, Scientific Research and Information Technology and Communication, are going to speak about financing higher education in Tunisia since it is an important topic to be discussed. we will divide our presentation into 3 parts ; in the first part we will deal with the assessment of public expenditure on higher education in Tunisia, in the next section we will explore the challenges posed to financing by demographic evolution, the quality of education and private provision and the last section we will examine the future financing strategies.Our talk will take 15 minutes. Do you think that public expenditure on higher education is enough or there are other ways?. We'd ask you to save your questions for the end.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for posting your introduction Fahima, Mouna and Sabrine! You could make the following adjustments to improve it:
ReplyDelete- Explain why the topic is relevant for the audience, not just that it is important... and state the purpose of the presentation.
- The structure of your presentation is not clear, are there 3 parts as recommended?
- Put the question "Do you think that public expenditure on higher education is enough or there are other ways?" before the introduction of the topic. What do you mean by "there are other ways"?
- How will you help the audience to remember your presentation? Will you give them handouts, send them the information by email etc. ?
I hope this helps, good work!
Good afternoon ladies and gentleman, it is pleasure to welcome you all here today. We are glad that many of you could come especially since we know this time of the year is probebly the busiest for you. Let us introduce ourselves. I am Soumaya chabaa,Rabiaa hzami, Wifak hfaiedh and Rihab chaibi, third year Business English students from the Higher Institute of languages of Gabes. Do you know that there are 196 state higher institutions in Tunisia, and 47 are private. What do you think about these numbers? So this is why at the end of our talk you will be familiar with the main differences between the two types of higher institutions in term of tuition. We will focus on three major parts; point one deals with the tuition’s differences, then, we will move on to the privileges of state and private higher institutions, and we will end with the weaknesses of each one. Our presentation should take 20 minutes to cover this issue. Do not worry about taking notes. I will e-mail the presentation to you. Please if you have any question, at the end of our talk there will be time for discussion

ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for your introduction yellow group! Here's my feedback:
DeleteTry to get the audience’s attention with anecdote, a question etc. before introducing the topic, then explain why the topic is relevant for the audience and state the purpose of the presentation.

On the whole, the intriduction is well organized.
But this sentence "Actually ,i have a full understanding of education and professions relationship" is a bit strange... how can you have FULL understanding of this... It sounds like you are boasting... try to express it differently.

ReplyDeleteHello ladies and gentlemen. we are glad you've graced us with your presence , and we really hope you enjoy our presentation , first , allow us to introdue ourselfs , I'm Achraf Latrach , Ali Chagra and Amel Nouili, third year Business English students from the Higher Institute of languages of Gabes
So , have you ever heard about the Cantonese slang “No money no talk” ?! Money, money and money. People always mention this word in their life. Do you think money is important in our life besides food, shelter and love? If you think so, then why we need it? Nowadays, we always hear about bank robbery, snatch thefts, loan sharks and others through media. Why did these crimes happened? It is because they have financial problem in their life until they involved in crimes. Financial problem also happens among students especially when they further their study away from their hometown. Increased expectations, responsibilities, and educational demands face all college students today. While the framework of their college degrees may be academic in nature, they need financial stability to make the most of their college experience. Over time, the financial demands on students have increased to a point where many students are now focusing less on their academic goals in order to survive in a world full of debt. It is a high-stakes financial environment, where students face these money crises, seeking for resources of stability, hope, and support that enable them to survive. Actaully , Our work will tackle three major parts :we will start with the student loan problems , then we will discover the expenses of students and how they deal with it (scholarships etc ) and we will end with the transport problems that a student can face daily in his life. Our presentation will take not more than 30 mints ; 10 for each . Do not worry about taking notes. I will e-mail the presentation to you and please feel free by the end of our presentation to ask about any point that you found,somehow, mysterious .
Thank you for your introduction White group, but I think you should be more self-confident and work harder so as to write your own introduction rather than plagiarizing...
DeleteI've found that at least half of your introduction was copied from:
http://www.studymode.com/essays/Financial-Problem-Among-Students-873684.html
and
http://dus.psu.edu/mentor/old/articles/080227rc.htm
So write your introduction again please and with your own words this time!

We have allowed ourselves to mention the importance of education as it is the beam, the sweat and the backbone of a healthy , creative generation. Hence we have chosen this sensitive topic to tackle the main issue that student’s suffer from ,which is the financial dilemma. As student’s nowadays are focusing less on their academical projects and get busy with trying to collect money for the sake of their educational perseverance. Actually , Our work will tackle three major parts :we will start with the student loan problems , then we will discover the expenses of students and how they deal with it (scholarships etc ) and we will end with the transport problems that a student can face daily in his life.

I confirm that, in spite of a few mistakes, your introduction is better now! Nevertheless, are you sure that your 3 parts are organized in a logical way?
DeleteHi everyone, it’s a pleasure to welcome you today. Let us introduce ourselves ; we are the Silver Group. As you know we are third year Business English students. The topic of our presentation is Education and Employment for English Students of ISLG, this topic is very important for you as English students especially that after seven months you will graduate and enter the big world of employment. I remember in school a teacher used to say : « when you graduate starting your own business or work in any job never stand in the same spot acting the role of a victim and believing it ».
ReplyDelete. what we want to show you is the employment problems and to compare between fundamental and applied English students of ISLG. We’ve divided our presentation into three main parts ; part one deals with the employment problems especially if the job is related to the diploma, part two deals with the comparison between the fundamental and applied English students, and part three deals with some solutions. It should take about 20 minutes to cover these parts and don’t worry about taking notes we will e-mail the presentation to you. Also after our talk there’ll be time for answering your questions.
Thanks a lot for your introduction Silver group!!! It is very well structured!
DeleteYou'd just need to reword this « when you graduate starting your own business or work in any job never stand in the same spot acting the role of a victim and believing it ». because it is not clear...
Keep up the good work!
