My first english presentation...

I was too nervous at the final part of the presentation! I almost forgot what should I say and how to make an end! Becouse time was going out, I couldn't calm down in that situation. Maybe I should not ask teacher that how much time I have. I apologize to my partner for the awful ending. >"<
However, this is an unforgetable experience for me. I learned how to present it better next time. Just be more relaxed.
