Land Pollution

On Thursday 2nd of June , I participate in a presentation about land pollution with my Group members, Ahmed Alhammadi, Saif Alsaedi, Saeed Alqubaisi and myself, Talal Alshehhi.

My part is to talk about the causes and effects of the land pollution,but first we need to know what land pollution is. Land pollution is where our land may be as far as being contaminated. All the types of waste can be found on land. Some left behind after human activities and some is washed ashore from boats and sewage outlets, so basically, land pollution are caused by us, human.

  

  The main cause of land pollution is us. We are creating too much unnecessary waste. In addition of this, we don’t recycle the waste we create. Many of the resources we use in our life are disposed quickly. Food wrapped in paper, drinks is in throw-away bottles or cans, batteries, all disposed to end up as a waste, and although all of these mentioned waste could be recycled. There are other types of waste which considered more harmful to land such as chemical plants, coal-fired power plants, oil refineries, nuclear waste, large animal farms, metal production factories, plastic factories and other heavy industry.

The rubbish collected from our homes and offices, instead of being recycled, are thrown in large land marked by the governments which cause major land pollution.  

  Tons and tons of waste are dumped every day because people do not follow the proper methods for waste disposal which leave places look dirty and make them unhealthy. Skin problems among humans are often related to land pollution, it is said that the improper waste disposal cause allergic reaction to the skin. Land pollution also found guilty when it comes to birth defects, pregnant lady which lives in an unhealthy environment can incur breathing problems and number of diseases which affect the health of the baby. Land pollution often disrupts the balance of nature, causing human fatalities.

 

The presentation lasted about half an hour, and everybody did well in their parts.

My Presentation Skills

This Semister I had an class called LSEC-N101 which I learned about how to give a succesful presentations. First, I started by giving a semi-formal presentation abou the diffrences between an Ipad and a Laptop, It was hard and scary at the beginning and I did some mistakes.

My part is to talk about the Ipad I started going to the library and searching for some information to help me with my presentation, I searched the internet and I read some books which helped me gathering some useful information. On the presentation day, I was nervous and froze at some moments, I started to forget the information I memorized before, but as the presention was going, so was I, I kept talking and tried to use the skills I learned during the class like using my hands, make an eye contact and give a clear voice. The thing I thought I did well in was using information that was easy for the attenders to understand, I used a clear voice and an easy set of vocabulare for everybody to understand. One of the things I thought that I should imporove next time, was the pauses between the sentences and to know when to stop talking and give the attenders a time to think of the information I just gave.

Last week I had a formal presentation and it went well, it was about Land pollution, my part was to talk about the causes and the effects of land pollution. This time I was more confidant and I did not shouk at the beginning like my last presentation, my voice was clear, good eye contact and my powerpoint slides had more information than last time. I felt more confidant and I know what I was doing, I was looking directly to the faces like I was talking to them.

I learned so much from this course, useful skills on how to deliver my point to some one else and how to be in the spot light. In the future, I am sure these skills will be very helpful for me every where, for example, in my job, when I have a new idea which will help my carrer , I can give it to my supervisiors easly and without being afried. The biggest challenge I faced in my formal presentation was to find the right vocabulares to make the idea simpelar, and I had to search alot for the information which will make my presentation sounds more serious. In the future, I need to do more preperation everytime I want to do a presentation or participate in on.

Finally, I'm really glad I joined this course , I felt this course will really help me in my future and everyday life.
