My Weekend

This weekend, I went to Shake Shack with my friends. Shake Shack is a burger place based on old fashioned burger stands. I'm a vegetarian so I got a mushroom burger, fries, and a shake. The food was really good. We stayed for a while there and it was fun. We spent more time talking and laughing than actually eating. After that, we went back to my friend's house to hang out for a little while. We watched a movie together in her room. After that, all of us went home. It was a fun night overall.

To me, a presentation means to inform and entertain someone or multiple people. You go up on stage or behind a podium and try your best to make others happy or make them more informed. Ask the audience questions and try to make them interested. You can be engaging to your audience by sounding like you are happy to be here. Also, to bribe people to come with material items or food. If you interact with your audience, you will more likely connect with them. When presenting, you should talk to the person, not talk at them. Also, always make eye contact with your audience members.
