• Feedback, thoughts, realisations

Through preparation and thorough analysis, I felt before the IO that it would go with ease. When starting talking in the practice on camera, all of my thoughts disappeared and I started saying things that I myself did not even agree with. During the language Oral in IGCSE I was allowed to walk around the room, which allowed me to relieve stress and focus on what I am talking about. Unfortunately, I realised that due to my stress and overthinking, I stutter and forger not only the foundational things and basics, I loose track of the plan that I had laid out for myself. 

• Exploring perspectives – how my practice IO texts might be similar or contrasting to any of the texts discussed in class? This IO was quite different compared to class discussions because have to open and explore a topic not discussed prior in class with examples to support our points for proof. It was quite difficult to use a comic as a literary piece because instead of comparing two polar opposite texts, I was comparing to images and started focusing on the visual rather then the lexical points.

• Reflect – on my strengths and weakness

In the future, I would like to practise in front of people and layout a better plan for myself so that I will be able to continue my discussion even through the possibility of stress and stuttering.
