My Oral Presentation: My summer in Portbou

OBSERVATION OF MY ORAL PRESENTATION

My oral presentation was about my summer in Portbou. I didn’t use a lot of resources because it isn’t a topic to can use sounds or objects for example, but I used a power point with lots of images and photos that I took during the summer, there was photos with my friends and photos of the village too.
I think that these images made better my oral presentation.
I didn’t last long because I was a bit nervous and I spoke very fast.

I was looking at my audience but especially at my teacher, I don’t know why.
I admit that sometimes I looked at my paper but only when I forgot something.
I was doing some gestures but every time I did the same gesture, every time I touched my hair.

I organize my ideas because first I tell about the village and why I spend the summers there, and then, I tell about my friends and what I do with them.
I think that everybody understanded all the information that I gave to them because I gave some examples about what I did in Portbou and in my power point there were photos about everything I explained.

I think that the grammar I used was correct but I know that I made some mistakes because sometimes I didn’t know how to do some phrases or how to use some expressions.
I admit that I didn’t use any sentence linkers and I wanted to use some pause fillers but I was nervous and I forgot it.

I don’t know if I pronounciated all the words good because I didn’t check the pronunciation. I tried to change my tone of voice but I think that I didn’t do it; but I spoke in a fluid continuum because I didn’t do breaks and interruptions.

TRANSCRIPTION

Portbou is a small village situated in the northern part of Catalunya. Is next to France. In Portbou there are four or five beaches, but the most important, is the biggest beach.
On summer there is a lot of people from France and Germany.
(picture) This is the most important beach, called la "Platja gran", but I know that's very small.

Maybe you know Portbou by its train station, wich is very large ans well known.
I've always thought that the station is bigger tnat the town. (picture) This is the station, and this is the town.

I spend the summers in Portbou because my grandparents live there and I also was living there when I was two years old, before started school on Figueres.
I have got a lot of friends there, but some of them are from Barcelona or Girona, and they spend the summers in Portbou because their families live there, as mine. There, I have got uncles, ounts and cousins too.
(picture) These are my friends.

Every day we used to go to the beach. Sometimes we went swimming to other beaches.
When the water was too cold, we only was sunbathing or playing cards for example.
For example, one day we went by boat to Garbet, a town situated between Llançà and Portbou. We went to a small beach called "La paella".
When we had arrived to other beaches, we were looking for a place to throw ourselves to the sea.
We sometimes used to go to play paddle on Colera, it's a town situated next to Portbou. We went by trainm but it's possible to go on food too.
Alsi we used to go to the port to jump and fall on the sea.

Every day I used to meet Paula, my best friend, at twelve o'clock to go to the beach. She lives in front of the beach, and my grandparents live very close to it too. Then, Paula and I go to meer Cristina, who lives also close form us. Then we go to the beach, and there we meet all our friends, like Anna, Carlota, Paula and Alejandra.
The, everybody used to go to have lunch at trhee o'clock approximately, but at half past four we used to meet again at the beach.

I think that Portbou is a very nice place to take photos, because there is the sea but also the mountains, and in my opinion, Porbtou's beach is very special because in the beach, there isn't sand like Empuriabrava for example, there are stones, as Garbet or Colera.
