Kuala Lumpur Reflection









This is the flag of Kuala Lumpur. It is slightly different than the Malaysian flag. I did a presentation on Kuala Lumpur since that is my birth place and the only place I know much about.

My believes about the presentation are that I did well in finding the images and sorting them out as well as writing the text using interesting vocabulary. I think I performed well since I spoke loudly, had some eye contact and my pronunciation was quite clear. When I showed the location map, I think it was creative to first show a map of Kuala Lumpur, then a map of where Kuala Lumpur was located in Malaysia. As for the other graphics, I carefully chose pictures including the different races in Malaysia and the Gombak and Klang rivers to highlight my points. In the very first slide, I showed the flag of Kuala Lumpur flag to capture audience interest.

In the future, I would not like to be absent because then I would have limited time to complete my school work. In looking back at my project, I think I could have put in more images. I was unsuccessful in including music and need to learn how to do this. Although I can vividly recall being pretty organized for the oral presentation, it could have been better if I added my own words instead of reading off the screen most of the time. In future presentations, I need to remind myself about all these importants factors.

I learned a lot about my country. For example, I never knew Kuala Lumpur was famous for processing tin-ore and that that the city grew around the Klang and Gombak rivers which were sources of water and transport. I think that YOU should visit Kuala Lumpur which is now a popular business center. Now I understand why there are so many races living in Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia. I like my classmates' presentations too especially Alex' presentation because he used his voice well and the slides were neat. From all the presentations, I learned about the history of cities, population and locations that we learned in class.

I personally think that my presentation was awesome! However, my performance could have been better. Although I put in a lot of effort in doing the slides, I was quite nervous when I presented. I should be more confident and less nervous. Secondly, I need to show my excitement with some slides by changing my voice and including some actions so that the audience is always entertained.
