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 quite.  

4.  Speak loudly and clearly, and use your voice for stress and emphasis.

5.  Use gestures to show meaning. Make them slowly and clearly.
     
6.  Use simple visual aids that everyone can see.
                          
7.  Make eye contact with the audience as you speak.

8.  Don’t say, “Finished.” Or “That’s all. “ Smile and say “Thank you.”

9.  Think about how you can do better next time.


     I think that the two important tips are (4) and (7).

introducing Hamdan

He was born in 1992; June 12. He is 18 years old. He was born in Abu Dhabi and he is currently living in Abu Dhabi; he has 7 brothers and 3 sisters. His hobbies are playing video games and reading; recently he has grown an interest in music which as a result let him choose to play the violin and it has as well become one of his hobbies that he enjoys a lot.
Once it comes to ambitions he looks pretty far; his ambition is to actually try his best to achieve something that will change a lot of things in our world, but if that won’t happen he believes that it was not meant to happen.
He has visited several countries; he has been in Japan, Greece, America and Saudi Arabia. His best holiday was when he went to Japan with his school since it was a once in a life time experience; he was as well one of the chosen students to go to Japan. It was last year and the trip was for 2 weeks.
He thinks that the best thing about ADMC is that he is capable of skipping the foundation year by taking up the challenge exam. The worst thing about ADMC is that at times we finish classes in the evening.
His motto is: Regret won’t solve anything but instead keep looking forward and hope that this time you will do it right
