Oral presentation

I have added here the prezi but I couldn't add the video.

Introduction: (Eloi)

Hello, we are Roger and Eloi. You probably remember our presentation about sport’s injuries, and as you know we love sports and we have had the opportunity to do this project about this curious sport called Australian football or also known as footy or Aussie rules.  We will do a little introduction about why English is the main language in Australia, after that we will speak about Australian football, the rules, the history and other things.

English in Australia (Roger)

First of all we want to tell you the story about why the Australians speak English, because, you know, we are doing this project about something related with English speaking countries. Australia was discovered by the Spanish and Portuguese crowns in the XVI century, but they never installed there. Years later the Holland discovered with detail the geography of the big island. Finally the Great Britain landed there, bringing all the prisoners such as a solution of the overpopulation of criminals.

History: (Eloi)

As early as 1841, there is documented evidence of "foot-ball" being played. While the exact rules being played in these matches are unknown they may have shared similarities and influences with traditional football. In 1859 were created the first rules of the Australian Football. The first official match was between Melbourne Grammar School and Scotch College, which began on 7 August 1858.

Rules: (Roger)

The ball has to be like a normal rugby ball with oval shape. Are necessary 18 players each team and they play on a bit strange field with the same oval shape as the ball. There are 4 posts on each side of the field were the players have to score the goals shooting the ball with feet. The field is 150 metres long. You can score a goal or a behind if the ball goes between these posts. A goal counts 6 points and a behind counts only 1 point. If the ball touches the two posts of the middle it counts only one point, like a behind, and if the ball touches the two posts of the border it doesn’t counts nothing.  You can catch the ball with your hands but you need to do it with your feet if you want to pass the ball. The match duration consists of 4 quarters of 20 minutes.

Competitions:

The most important championship is the AFL (Australian Football League). The league currently consists of 18 teams over five states of Australia, although the majority are still based in Victoria (currently ten teams). First of all, all the teams play each other in a classical league and when they have finished this part of the competition, the best eight teams do a playoff where one of the teams will be the champion. This playoff is one of the most viewed sport events in the world, specifically the 4^th in the world, behind the NFL, the cricket Premier League and the Bundes League.

Around the world: (Roger)

The Australian football is played such as the national sport in Papua New Guinea and Nauru but is played too around the world. For example in Catalonia there are some teams and a national team that has played in some European competitions where in the last one it finishes second after France.

Conclusion: (Eloi)

This is all about Australian football, we have to confess that we knew like all of you about Australian football, nothing, but probably is this the reason why we chose this topic, because we love sports and we wanted to know more about this particular sport. Always is a little boring to do projects but we can say that we have learnt a few curiosities and other things of a sport not very practised here and always is good to learn new interesting things of another cultures and countries. We hope you haven’t had a very bad time hearing us and if are there any questions you can ask us. Thank you! ;)

Presentation (10%)	Do you use any resources? Are the resources relevant and attractive and focused on the topic? Do they support your presentation? Is the timing 5-7 minutes? Yes we used Prezi as the main resource. About the timing, the presentation took about 15 minutes but we were two doing the presentation.		9
Body language and eye contact (10%)	Are you looking at your audience most of the time? Are you reading occasionally from your notes? Are you doing any gestures / movement to hold the attention of the audience? I think that this was the worst part of my presentation because it’s difficult to look at the audience, and sometimes I used to watch the presentation, but not we had not any note in the prezi so it wasn't because I don't know my part.		8
Structure (10%)	Do you organize your ideas in order of importance? Do you use discourse markers to make your ideas more clear? Yes, we done an index and we have put the ideas in order, and we use some discourse markers.		9
Content (30%)	Do you introduce interesting, NEW information to your audience? Is your information detailed and clear? Do you give / show examples? Is your information copied from a source or is it original? Did you look up information/facts/ideas in the Internet/books…? I think we have done it an interesting presentation with new information for all the audience because we explain a lot about a sport that people didn't know nothing. We have gave it some examples of each definition, and we have search the general information of the sport and its history on internet.		30
Language (20%)	Is your grammar correct, complex? Is your vocabulary rich and varied? Do you use sentence linkers? Do you use pause fillers? I think that I used a correct grammar, with a lot of topic-related vocabulary. About the linkers and the pause fillers I think I have used a few.		18
Pronunciation and intonation (10%)	Do you know how to pronounce all your words? Did you check the pronunciation with a dictionary, a classmate or the teacher? Do you change your tone of voice or use a monotone tone all the time? Did you speed in a fluid continuum or with breaks and interruptions? I knew how to pronounce the words because I had searched on the google translator and in howjsay. I did it with some breaks to read or pronounce difficult words but in general I think I done it quite fluid.		8
