TO ALL OF YOU WHO MADE THE ORAL PRESENTATION TODAY

I would like to tell you that I really appreaciate the effort that all of you have done in your presentations. I know that it is not easy to talk in a foreign language in front of other people but you managed to do it perfectly well. Even those students in the basic level have been able to talk in English for a few minutes so I can only say: WELL DONE!!!
