My goal for the coming presentation is
to make all the audience interested in Johnny Weir, make them want to see his skating.
More concrete goal is not to speak too fast, because I always talk too fast when I am nervous.
The last thing is to be confident in the topic.

watching TED
"Why not eat insects"
http://www.ted.com/talks/marcel_dicke_why_not_eat_insects.html
My analysis:
Impression: The talk was interesting. It was even astonishing.
The lecturer suggests we should eat insects instead of meat. He is supporting it with 4 main reasons and it sounds quite convincing. Since the idea is very unusual, I was astonished at first, but his lecture was based on good reasons and it was convincing even though my instinct still resist eating insects.
Strengths: *He is using the power point very effectively with lots of images, charts.
*He emphasizes important points by repeating it.
* He speaks with clear voice.
* He speaks in comfortable speed to listen.
Weakness: *He does not walk around much. For the most part, he is just standing still.
This makes him look less lively, and less passionate.
If he use more gestures and walk around and approach the audience,
audience will be more involved and impressed.
*Also, he should use more facial expressions because he looks sad, somehow.
*His way of speaking is not so humorous even though the topic is very humorous.
So, if he improves his way of speaking, it would be much better.

about presentations
In a good presentation,
the presenter use a lot of gestures,
takes eye contacts with all the audience,
speak in a clear and big voice,
speak confidently, lively, with facial expressions.
Also, in a good presentation, the speaker is sure about what he or she wants to tell the audience most.
... and the most importantly, good presentations are entertaining.
In a bad presentation,
the presenter speak in small voice,
the presenter cannot look the face of audience because he or she is not confident enough,
the presenter speaks too fast, with too much gestures,
the presenter speaks in a very monotonous way,
the presenter cannot organize what he or she is saying
the presenter get stuck in the middle because he or she has not prepared it enough.
This is my idea about good presentation and bad presentation.

the library lecture
Today, we had a library lecture.
I learned mainly about the databases.
Actually, I had never used the database, and I didn't know how to use it, so it was really useful lecture.
What I was impressed most was that we can find even newspaper articles by the database.
We can even find today's latest articles!
It's amazing.
And it was fun to see the list of newspapers from all over the world.
I even find newspaper such as, "Irish times". I think it is really nice that I can read Irish times in Japan!
(I went to Ireland this summer for SEA program, so Ireland is kind of another homeland to me now. I really like Ireland.)
I think I am going to use the newspaper and magazine databases pretty much for my research.
It seems really convenient.
The databases I learned about today: LexisNexis (newspaper database), JSTOR (magazine database), CiNii (Japanese newspaper database).
