Reflection on Mock Presentation


Few days ago, I have completed a mock presentation for an upcoming sharing session. It was a positive experience as it provided my team a chance to prepare more adequately for the actual. I am certain that things went well during that session. When it was my turn to speak, I welcomed my audience with a warm smile before going on to discuss more about my part. As I am giving my presentation, I could present my findings in an accurate and interesting manner. This was evident as I managed to see my audience focusing on me as I was speaking. Other than that, I managed to speak in a lively tone and shown my interest in the subject by being enthusiastic throughout the session. Not forgetting, I did my best in giving more eye contact and building connection with my audience too.

Although everything seems well, there are some aspects which I feel I could perform better. I think that during a certain part of my presentation, I did not manage to explain my contents clearly and concisely. As a result, it caused some confusion within my audience and he have to clarify it again. I feel that this have happened due to a lack of preparation prior to the presentation. Also, I feel that I must pay attention to my language to ensure that I am using appropriate words which fits the occasion.

To sum up, this mock presentation was a good opportunity for me to practice prior to the actual presentation and provided a platform for me to know my strength and weaknesses too. With that, I will know what to focus on while preparing for my actual presentation.

  1. Hi Benjamin,

    Despite not being in one of your audience group, your presentation do catch some of our opposite group attention. You are quite loud and a really good presenter.

    With some practice, you are definitely going to present perfectly without confusion among the audience. Meanwhile, language may not be easy to change due to our usage of singlish on a daily basis, it will be worthwhile to be able to use proper english just so if there are non-Singaporean in the audience.

    Good luck for your upcoming presentation and also for the exams.

    Best Wishes,
    Zhong Han
