Famous Buildings - English Orals

Our task was to make an oral about a famous building or structure. We had to make a poster with pictures on it and write a big heading. I enjoyed the part where I asked Miss Phaup a joke related to the oral and she didn't know the answer so I told her. It was hard to stand in front of the class. I learnt how to organise and make my oral working all by myself. - Fatema H.

I learnt a lot about the Taj Mahal from listening to an oral. Did you know that all the workers' hands were chopped off after they had built the Taj Mahal, so that they could never build another one? - Tauha

I tried my best and I enjoyed doing this oral. I have decided that I will not be shy when I do an oral from now on. - Banele

I had fun putting all the information together by myself for my English oral. We had to pick a building and give a speech and make a poster. I chose the Sydney Opera House. It was fun being able to do it all by myself. - Priyanka
