Hi Viicky
ResponderEliminarI heard your presentation because I wanted to know why you consider to Michael Jackson an achievement, and when I heard that him had sold millions of records and, over all, that him made a lot of humanistic work, I understanding that you are right to see him as an achievement, I must say that I thought talk about Shakira, but I thought it would be a bad idea, but after having heard your presentation I knowthat it would have been a very good one.
Alex... I choose your presentation because I belive that the topic is realy interesting because its about our customs, and I think... a country who have no idea about his customs is destined to fall down.
ResponderEliminarAny way, I learn some things that I have no idea... but it gave to me a good tool for start the search about this kind of topics.
See you soon!
Karla
Doing this oral presentation was useful to me because it helps me listen to my pronunciation and correct it, either a word or a syllable, as well as the presentation is in a conversational tone I realized that I have some q crutches, is also useful because it gives the use of a tool, that I did not know how works and, now I can use for other activities in and outside of school. I have say that first was hard to use screen-cast-o-matic, but once that I know how to use it is simple and practical.
ResponderEliminarDear Daniel I really loved your oral presentation, it was really sorprising the change of your topic, I think we´ve never expected something like that. I loved your presentation because it really sound from heart!
ResponderEliminarI think this oral presentation help me a lot because I can notice how my pronunciation is, first I was really nervious but then I started to talk and everything seemed to be good.
I like the presentation was like that but I think doing it in front of the classmates could help too.
Doing this oral presentation was useful to me because . . .sometimes, when we talk in public, and especially in English, nerves betray us and we lose a little notion of what we mean, or at least to me happens.
ResponderEliminarUsing electronic support I liked this a lot, since the former occasions, if you mess up you can re-do the recording, or simply put a pause, which we could not do during a live performance. But most important to me is the fact that it gives you much more confidence in yourself to make the presentation, and in turn, drives you to want to do this later, with public and in real time.
Hi IXE "Color Psychology and Marketing ":
ResponderEliminarI chose your presentation because I belive that the topic is so important to us, because all products have its own color psycology, and with your presentation, we can understand now the reason that have the companys to use a specific colors, in order to convince people to use or choose your merchandise or services, instead of the competition.
I was surprised to learn that my favorite colors, black and red, respectively represent the power, intelligence and elegance, and energy. I actually laughed a lot while you explain these slides.
Hi dear Paula
ResponderEliminarI enjoyed listening to your presentation, now I know a little bit more aboaut your passion for belly dance. It´s very interesting that a woman gives to belly dance a new style. I thing that through time everything changes so maybe you can give a new way to belly dance haha, Why not? maybe you can be another Badia Masabni.
See you soon.
Doing this oral presentation was useful to me because it was a very good way to develop my habilities on looking for information in English, speaking and listening the language, it´s a funny and enjoyable activity, and now I can use Screencasto-o-matic to do more practice of speaking, and for doing homework for my major.
ResponderEliminarBelow, Andrea´s comment and reflection:
ResponderEliminarHi alex I chose your presentation because when I read the name it souds great and whe I started to watched and I listen the music I think that you had a fantastic idea. Your presentation was so good and you have a very good pronuntiation. I love the topic that you chose because is about music and mexican coustums
Doing this oral presentation was useful to me because I could herdme and I can notice the mistakes that I do when I talk and I learn more vocabulary and is diferent when you anly talk because most of the times you didn't notice your mistakes.
Below, Daniel´s comments and reflection:
ResponderEliminarIxe:
Your presentation was very interesting, i didn't know this characteristic about the colors, Now understand why the company use specifical colors. I want to know more about this topic. And for example I knew that th pourple is a color for mourning. And I have a question? How we can know waht say a color? Because the people can have differents ideas about it, like the feng shui, do you remember? How we can identify the true answer?. Well it was only a question but i think taht your topic was very interesting. I liked it so much.
Andrea:
I only want to say: "thanks", I like so much your presentation, it is the question that everybody ask me, and the question that everybody didn´t understand me! but now, I´ll show them your presentation, thanks!!!
I think that activity was really interesting and amused: I know that my pronuntation is bad, but with this activity I can talk a bit better. And listening you, it is the other good point, because we can know us a bit better, and I notice that I can understand, when other persons talk in English!
Marco:
ResponderEliminarI never think that you know a lot about vaccines specially because you don´t have a direct realtion with this topic, but I really enjoy you presentation because you give a lot of important information, now I understan why de vaccins are very important for our health.
Andres:
Wow I love your presentation, you did it as a radio program, the form that you introduce your presentation with you own song was amazing,XD
and you do a lot of jokes, I love too the final when you say thanks to sabritas,coca-cola, etc.; your presentation say that you really enjoy your presentation, about the topic it's very interesting specially because sometimes We dont give importance to the things we have in our lifes everyday.
About the activity:
I think that the activity gives me the chance to develop my speaking, sometimes was very difficult for me, but finally i did it, now I learn how to use the Screencast-o-matic to do some homeworks, also the activity give me the oppotunity to know about other topics.
Karla
ResponderEliminarI choose Karla's presentation beacause I think that the psychology its very interesting and I always have been interested in that major, is fascinating the study of the human behavior, in fact I saw a movie that the topic is the same that you talk in your presentation, an experiment on a prision with inocent people but the will earn a price on money, maybe the movie could be based on the story that you told us, I really enjoy it, very good for you to share us an important, but really hard experiment with the humans, that are corrupted by the power and the repression thank you Karla.
About the activity:
Doing this oral presentation was very useful to me because I met a new way to do my presentations from my school, and its very easy to handle, in other way it was very interesting to know about the achievments that my classmates share with us and there are many diferent topics, i like too the presentation of Alex.
Thank you teacher for the amazing 5 level that you give to us and I hope that you teach also in another level, it would be nice if you are again my teacher in another level. See you :)
What's up Roy? I've heard your presentation and it's a very interesting topic this LHC; I think that maybe it is the most important human achievement nowadays, but it's amazing the amount of people and the amount of intelligent people that are working on this project to make it possible to know the origins of the universe. Do you know that there are mexican people working in this?
ResponderEliminarDoing this oral presentation was useful to me because I have knew the mistakes that I commit during an oral presentation (or talking in class). This activity is very useful, because you can see how difficult is to share an idea in another language.
IXE "Color Psychology and Marketing ":
ResponderEliminarI really enjoyed your presentation
is very interesting the relation between colors and impressions they cause.
I think you've done a good study of them and how they are used today, is very important to attract attention and that the client has confidence.
in architecture, white and green colors are widely used in the presentations, because, as you explained, are colors that bring peace, purity and creativity, and also help to give breadth to the spaces and sense of well being and nature.

ResponderEliminarColor Psychology and marketing (Ixe)
I think your presentation was great, I mean I have already hear about it but something that really surprised me was the fact that in China white is the color of dead wow that is really amazing I mean here in Mexico we use the purple to represent dead but not white well I guess is used for dead children or something like that but not to represent dead in general.
Son Jarocho (Alex)
Wow I really enjoyed hearing this presentation, it was great I guess because of I didn´t know anything about Son Jarocho I also didn´t know that the Tlacotalpan carnal was so famous around the world.
Opinion:
I think is useful in two sense first that we improve our pronunciation and second it works in order to have more general culture well I think that so I enjoyed well being sincere more less because when I have already finished my oral presentation I realized that the microphone it was switched off, but in general I think is a good and creative strategy in order to practice your pronunciation and fluency.
Below, Paula´s comments:
ResponderEliminarHi Margot!
I have seen your presentation about Janis Joplin and I think is amazing!!! y supposed you are fan from her, me too!!! She is a fabulous singer who left her label in music history with her powerful voice and energy; she was and still be unique!!! absolute achievement of humanity. It was very interesting know about her personal life and is very sad that the drugs were killed a great talent. But she still with us and we can have the pleasure to hear her wonderful voice now a days. Great presentation Margot!
About this activity:
I have enjoyed this activity a lot, maybe because it was from something that I really love, also I think was very important because this helped to us to talk with freedom like in the real life. I have to recognize that was hard in the first time because I was very nervous and I forget the word but in the end I think it was a very funny and important activity for our development in the English language.
Below, Rodrigo´s comment:
ResponderEliminarHi Andres,
I think that your presentation is great and I agree with you because the food is a very important thing in humanity life and as you said... without food we are dead, I think this is pretty fun and of course right and about your likes I agree with you again... I live Coca-Cola!! I got a lot of fun with all things that you said in your presentation, have an excellent day and see you soon.
Below, Manzur´s comments:
ResponderEliminarFirst, I consider the oral presentation useful. This kind of activities really helps because you improve your speaking skills.
Also for me it was fun and interesting and using tools like Screen-o-matic was easier and simplified work.
The only thing was I wish I had more time to prepare it, I would prefer to make this kind of tasks at the beginning than make it at the final.
Ixe,
I liked your presentation, it was really interesting, I did not know the meaning of the colors and how marketing take advantage of that.
Nice information
Andrés,
Your presentation is fun, I agree with you about the discovery of agriculture and livestock, but I don't consider an achievement the invention of Sabritones (hahahha). Nice presentation and the introduction was awesome and very original.
Below, Vicky´s comments:
ResponderEliminarDear Lety,
Your presentation is really interesant. Nowadays cinema is a way of fun and entertainment but it also play the role of learning and this is very important to society. Trough the cinema, the people can visit imaginary worlds, the films can interpret human feelings or also reflect political and social conflicts. So, is interesting to know the history of the cinema and you explanation was very good. Congratulations.
Reflection
Doing this oral presentation was useful to me because I could listen to myself and correct my own mistakes, also, it was an enjoyable activity because we could share with the rest of the group one of our passions. I think this kind of works make the learning process easier and enjoyable.
alex:
ResponderEliminarI love music and went I see the name of your presentation I feel happy, but I don`t think that “The Son Jarocho” is a humanity achievement, but it doesn`t matter. I like all the music that use the Harp, her sound is very good, I have three keyboards but the sound of harp is not very good like the sound of a real harp, so I like to learn to play harp.
For me was very interesting to know the origin of The Son Jarocho, it was a mix of Spanish, indigenous and African music; and some instruments that I didn`t know like mosquito, marimbola and Horse jawbone.
Reflection
I think that the oral presentation is a good form for speaking evaluation because we didn`t lose class listen to my classmate, but for me was very good because I learn to use the page of internet when I record my presentation because how my brother like the music to I teach him and I can do some tutorials using this tool.
Below, Rodrigo´s reflection:
ResponderEliminarDoing this oral presentation was useful to me because . . . I practiced a lot speaking and I think it's very useful as a first step to us, the shy people, I think this activity was very nice because each one if us had to choice the most interesting topic to show to the other ones and it made more interesting the activity so for me this oral presentation gave me a lot of fun.

Janis Liz Joplin
Hi margot, I choose your presentation, because I´m fan of Janis Joplin, and I haven´t idea that you too.
She was a woman with a powerful and wonderful voice and it´s very sad her dead. I think that if she still alive, probably she would make awsome things.
All her life is very interesting and maybe mysterious like her voice and I think that she lived her life to the limit.
You made a great work with your presentation, it was nice to hear you.
About the activity:
For me, doing this activity was very fun and interesting, because I met this useful tool to make presentations and I think I can use it for many oral presentations in the future. One thing that I dindn´t like, was that I had problems at the moment to upload my presentation, but anyway I liked to do this activity.
Below, Andrés comments (as funny as his presentation):
ResponderEliminarDear Margot.
Yeah Girl!! You know about music, Janis Joplin has the most misterious voice in the whole world in my opinion, and it's wonderfull that you considered that as an achivement, like a natural miracle. You really did an amazing job, you reaserch it's great and extense and your presentation was never boring to hear and watch, So I give you two thumbs up!!!!. It will be difficult to find a voice like Janis, it's a really tragic dead to the music... Man I don't know why I didn't think in her for the presentation, God damn it!!
Refelction.
That was a wonderfull idea, I really didn't know how bad I speak in english, now, I know, and I know that I have to improve this area in this lenguage. For me, it took a lot of time to do my presentation, also, I didn't realized that my voice is so creepy, so no more radio projects in the future. I had a lot of fun doing this stuff, so thank you teacher, you allways know how to made my day.
Andrés Astorga Espriella.
Doing this oral presentation was useful to me because . . . As it was a bit hard because I didn't had too much time for make it as long as it could be, I think that it is a really good and useful tool because it help us to develope our habilities, like speaking and explaning a topic to another persons and like our confidence in our elfs, and it's really important to us in all moments in our life.
ResponderEliminarKarla Vilchis
I really really agree with Andres! I've never before think about it but its really true! the food is one of the best achievments in the human history, I mean all the process to make the food and have it on our houses. The agriculture and all the activities are very important to have healthy products and I say that I really agree beacause if I dont eat when my stomach calls me I enter on very very bad mood and thats not good at all, for me and for the people around me...jeje
ResponderEliminarI enjoyed this presentation because is very interesting, funny and in many moments made me laugh
I saw Manzur's presentation, the aportations to the the humanity are very interesting, and I agree that in our present we can't live without them, no matter if we are young or adult people this achievments are necesary to the daily live.
ResponderEliminarI had no tought that the toilet was an important achievment but now that I think it twice I see that is very important because of many reasons.
I enjoyed this activity and it was important because we can discover very good things that we doesn't share each other during the class.
Below, Edwin´s comments:
ResponderEliminarHi Ixe
I looked your presentation. It is really interesting the influence of colors in human mind, I have already taken a course of admistration and the marketing area is really incredible because a “simple” change could be a millionaire idea. Your presentation is really great but I always have doubts, could you explain to me how color could cause negative effects?? What are the parameters to choose the color in a non-qualitative way?
See you
Hi teacher
Doing this oral presentation was really useful for me because I can observe my mistakes by myself, and I think that this is the best way to correct those errors. For me doing the presentation was hard because I didn’t know the correct word in English or the pronunciation of some words, but that was useful because is important in my major to know those concepts.
See you
Hi guys, thank´s a lot for your comments, I´m glad you like it!,
ResponderEliminarMariana: I was really surprised too, when I knew some secrets about Marketing, I mean not only colors are used as a strategy, also the prices, commercials, etc.
I´m not surprised about your favorite colors, because I think unconsciously has a relationship with personality and I think you are a really energetic person, intelligence or I´m wrong? No right?
I loved this semester because; I think in this time that I get to know you better I noticed that you are a great person, but most important for me you are a great friend. See you in the next level!
Daniel: Hi Daniel, thank´s. Well about your questions, I think there´s not only an answer, and I don´t know the right one, I think it depends, for example the meanings of the colors that I said was from the Theory of color, but like I said , all over the world give colors different meanings, sometimes culture influences that, personality of people, people´s mood, etc.
I really loved that we have been together this semester, you are a great person!
Laia: Hi, I´m glad you like my presentation, I think it´s really interesting how colors make us feel, how Marketing influences in the sales of a company, and for example in your major, it´s really interesting what you mentioned, colors influenced people about how they feel and I think it is really interesting that you can bring to your clients those emotions and feeling make them feel comfortable and happy in their houses.
I hope you like Mexico, and past a good time here, meting new and good people.
Margot: I didn´t know too that white was the color of dead in China, it´s really surprising how culture influences in that feeling, because for example here in Mexico I think most of people like white, because for me it´s the opposite of dead, white is a really bright color, but now we know that not always is the same like here in Mexico, we have to take care about what we use in funerals in other countries lol.
Manzur: Thank you, sometimes it´s unbelievable what Marketing can do to get more clients, nowadays there is a lot of competition between companies, so it´s really important to sell more, that is one of the critical factors for a company that allows them to continue in the market, so it´s important for them to use what they need to get that, and Marketing could be one of them.
Edwin: Hi, what do you think about Administration and Marketing? I hope you like them, and yes it could sound ridiculous that one change in Marketing could make a big difference , but it´s true, people is really creative and like to receive the same, so Marketing try to give them what they want, because at the end people is the one who is going to buy the products.
Wow you really asked me some difficult questions, in the first one I think here is the answer (http://s3.accesoperu.com/wp6/includes/htmlarea/mezclador/ayuda/epc.htm) by the way I found it in Spanish, and the second I continue searching, sorry .
Teacher: Thank you for this incredible semester, for me was a pleasure to have you as my teacher, I really learn from you, I´m really grateful with you because you really worry about your students and that´s something that students like. I hope you can be my teacher in the next levels. Thank you because you make your class really interesting and even sometimes I didn´t feel I was a class, it was more like having chat with friends, and that´s really good because your learning and at the same time you are using what you know.
Classmates: This semester was so different from the others; I think I have fun meting you, talking to you, learning something from your majors. Nice to meet you, I hope to see you soon!
Wow it´s incredible Ixe´s presentation, I mean, it´s very interesting how the marketing use colors, wel btter said, use all the elements that can put on us what they want.
ResponderEliminarAnd also we can use this information to our pratical life.
I really loved the last photo, I was really lucky to be there with you
Andres,
ResponderEliminarI really enjoyed your presentation, I think it was so funny and made me laugh a lot!!!
Good luck in your major.
Teacher,
I just want to say thank you, because I really enjoyed taking classes with you this semester, I really liked your activities and your useful tools. The final presentation was really good, I had never worked with it, I think it was a good tool for us, because we can use it not in English class only.
Thank you teacher and I hope to see you soon, you are grate!!

ResponderEliminarAndrés Astorga Espriella (Maths)
This presentation was useful to me because, I think food is an inmportant discovery and very necessary. Andrés I do not hate you.. Otherwise I love your presentation, because I love the food too! haha and I think it has become sedentary, meaning some progress, but lately has been counterproductive to the health of the planet ... Finally, I love your creativity!
