🎤 Study tip: make a presentation

Choose a topic you like (your favourite river, a glacier, a waterfall…), find information and present it to your family or class. Make small cue cards with key words, but do not read them: look at the people you are talking to. Use photos or slides, and add an interesting fact or something that happened to you. Don't let your public fall asleep!
