What Did I Make of Toronto?

Hi everyone! My name is Lily, I'm 12 years old and I am from Canada. Where in Canada you ask? Toronto. That's where, and proud of it. That's why I was willing and happy to do Toronto for my presentation. I was dignified to introduce my favorite country in the WORLD to my classmates. But did I live up to the expectations? Was I so happy to do Toronto that I was totally blind-sided of how good it actually was? Well, lets find out for sure!

Ok, so lets l00k at the good side, I feel that I described Toronto's main industries. Printing, meat packing, and so on. And, I also thought that I introduced it well enough for others to get a sense of what Toronto is and what we are known for. I found that the history was simple and easy to understand, BUT not too simple that it didn't give you any information. I felt like the quiz at the end was a good idea. It was there to make sure that people were paying attention and if they actually learned something.

I wouldn't improve anything for my future presentations. Just kidding! There were a couple areas I could DEFINITELY improve in. Like, I think that I could have practiced more on my presenting. I felt that sometimes I stammered on my words. Maybe I should have left out the introduction, I wasn't sure if it was that relevant, BUT I thought that maybe it would be cool if they knew more about Toronto. So I wasn't sure!
