Brave Greta Thunbergh!

Greta Thunberg, the Swedish schoolgirl who has inspired an international movement to fight climate change, has been nominated as a candidate to receive this year's Nobel Peace Prize.

 She was nominated by three Norwegian MPs. If she were to win, she would be the youngest recipient since Pakistan's Malala Yousafzai, who was 17 when she received the prize.

Who is Greta Thunberg?


The Swedish teenager - who on her Twitter page describes herself as "a
16-year-old climate activist with Asperger [syndrome]" - first staged a school strike for the climate in front of the Swedish parliament in August last year.
Since then, she has been missing lessons most Fridays to stage her regular protests.
She continued to gain international attention after speaking at the UN Climate Talks in Poland in December and at the World Economic Forum in Davos in January.
"On climate change, we have to acknowledge that we have failed," she told global economic leaders in Davos.

Oral presentations typically involve three important steps: 
1) planning,
2) practising,
3) presenting. 
Make also sure your presentation covers the following: introduction, main body and conclusion.
Practice, Practice, Practice: 
  • Practice as much as possible to achieve an easy delivery.
  • Do not read your talk or memorize it.
  • Concentrate only on the main points. Ignore details. 
  • Try to make your presentation lively and interesting. This does not mean telling jokes and anecdotes. But if you can think of interesting or amusing examples to illustrate your argument, use them.
  • Write out everything you have to say, including examples etc. Rehearse what you are going to say until you are happy with it.
Organize your ideas:
  • present the topic.
  • give your opinion on the topic. 
  • express (dis)advantages. 
  • link and sequence ideas.
  • end with a clear summary or conclusion.

A little help for your oral productions

Convert online any English text into speech. Listen and repeat what you hear. A great support that can help increase comprehension and reading speed for English Language Learners is Text-to-Speech.
Text-to-speech (TTS) applications translate digital text into spoken word. TTS applications vary in what added features and voices are available, but the general principle is the same—to allow auditory rather than visual consumption of a digital text.
