Micro-Presentation
This is the first in a series of presentations that will allow you to put to use a lot of the gramatical points learned in our courses.
The subject for today is The Health Benefit of Drinking Wine
Duration of the presentation should be between 8-10 minutes and 3-5 minutes for Q&A session
Make sure to structure your presentation well (introduction, argument, anticipate counter arguments, provide examples and have a strong conclusion) and envision an audience with very little knowledge about the subject whom you wish to convince to integrate wine into their diet.
