[00:01.00]Hi, Michael. [00:02.69]Do you have time for some questions about the mid-term test? [00:06.66]No problem. [00:08.14]Well, in my literature lesson, [00:10.84]we're asked to prepare a ten minutes speech to present in front of the whole class, [00:16.43]including the professor. [00:18.41]Is there any specific topic? [00:21.07]Yes, we're asked to concentrate on one figure in English literature. [00:26.26]And I'm thinking about preparing my presentation on Charles Dickens. [00:31.20]But what worries me most is that many other students will choose the same subject as well. [00:37.26]Don't worry whether others pick the same author, as long as you do a good job. [00:42.96]The professor will judge all his students fairly. [00:46.06]I hope you're right. [00:47.38]Dickens is a productive writer, but it's better if you focus on some of the important works. [00:53.14]Yes. [00:53.89]Do you know how to prepare a presentation? [00:57.32]I can't say I'm an expert, but I can give you some advice. [01:01.28]First you have to select one topic.
