         I made or will make five presentations this week...  We made presentations on summer reading in ARW class. I think it was not so bad, but I should learn more about how to make a presentation. I wonder how I can make it more persuasive.  I'll practice it through making and listening presentations from now on. Yesterday, I learned that it is important to speak confidently and prepare some visuals in order to make my opinion clear when I make a presentation. 
         As I said before, I chose "1984". It is a near future story. This is about the story. 
         In 1984, after World war Ⅲ, the world is divided into three big countries. They are called Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia. And among them, there is an area in which a lot of disputes happen. The story is set in London in Oceania, where the government controls the citizens in many aspects of their lives. And the authorities always watch all of their actions. There are posters that is written “BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU” everywhere in the town. A man who is a government official begins to suspect the order of the country.
         “1984” was written in 1948, and it was one of the near future story. However, these situations may happen today. Last year, the secret of U.S. spying came to light, and “1984” became the talk again.

          The book has over 350 pages!! So I have to start reading it as early as possible!! Anyway, I have to prepare for the test on Friday and complete my essay by Monday!
