3rd Oral presentation!



Hi there, AIDS can also be transmitted from mother to child. This happens when the mother is pregnant and she had got an infected utter. This disease can be transmitted to the baby and if so the baby has got a 25% of getting this disease. With special treatment this can be reduced to 1%.
It’s also not recommended to breast feed your baby if you have AIDS because that can be transmitted to the baby.
Te most common known to have AIDS is having sexual relationship, especially when you have unprotected sex. It doesn’t matter with whom, with your girlfriend, boyfriend or if you are a homosexual, there is still a huge risk of getting AIDS.
The easiest way to prevent getting AIDS is using condoms. A condom reduces it at 85%.

Now I’m going to talk to you about some of the symptoms if you have AIDS. You have pulmonary infections, it’s situated on your lungs you can have pneumonia that is when you have breathing difficulties, you have a lot of cough and you feel very tired and you can also have many spreadable tumours.
It can also infect your gastrointestinal organs; you can have chronic diarrhea and spreadable tumours. You may also have neurological problems like encephalitis; this is the inflammation of the brain and meningitis that is a virus that gets on the back of your brain and destroys your nervous system.
AIDS can affect everything; your eyes and other parts…

Now I would like to talk about the third world. As you know Africa is very common for its disease especially AIDS.
As we know Africa is a poor country it’s a country in development and the economy is very bad, so the hospitals there don’t have enough treatment, the right medicine and the money to treat the patients. The hygiene there is very bad.
People don’t have the money to buy protection because of its lack of resources, so that makes Africa a very high risk of getting it.
So because of the countries economy many millions of people in Africa die each year. So far 17 million have died. At least 25 million may follow.
As you can see on the map of Africa, South Africa is the most affected area and of all the people that have got AIDS, Africa has an 85% of AIDS and other countries 25%.

If you take a look at this graphic, you can see that in 1990 only 8 million people were affected by AIDS and as the years have gone by until 2007 there is actually 23 million people affected bi AIDS, So I think that it’s quite astonishing AIDS have increased over the years. Hopefully soon we’ll find a cure because if it keeps on going, I think that it would be very bad for the humanity.
These are pictures of people in Africa and how they look like if they don’t have the right treatments or medicines… They end up looking like this until there death.

This is the AIDS world wide. As you can see South Africa is the most affected area but there are many other places where AIDS are also there.
In Spain there’s only 1% of a 100%.
Finally I’d like to say that they have invested 500 million Euros to prevent AIDS and also as we know, AIDS is one the most deadly disease and also one of the most common and we hope that one day they’ll find a cure for this disease.

So if you have any questions, we would like to answer them.
On this Oral presentation we used a very visual presentation with many pictures and many graphics; I think that made it very attractive and nice.
I think that I did do eye contact with the people that were there listening to me and I tried to move around more and also relate myself with the presentation. I made sure that everyone knew what I was talking about on the oral presentation and I hardly read form my notes.

MY ORAL PRESENTAION:

I think that on this presentation there was pretty much everything about AIDS because we talked about where it came from, how you can get it, how to prevent it, the most affected areas in the world and so on.
Everything was well organized and well structured and I tried to talk about everything in general. I looked most of the stuff on the internet but Clara and I organized it all how we wanted it, I think that because of this our presentation was very detailed because we talked about many things and we knew how to explain it.

I checked my grammar and I tried to use as many sentence linkers and fillers as possible, and I did look at the dictionary for various unknown words and to correct spelling mistakes.

I think that my vocabulary was good and fluent. I also think that my voice kept changing all the time so it wouldn’t sound to monotone. I think that people understood what I was saying and then relationated it to the power point.

I think that this has been the best oral presentation yet, so I’m going for a high mark and going for a 9.5!
