WHAT DOES FREEDOM MEAN TO ME?

Freedom for me is the ability to be yourself, to do what you want to do, to say what you want to.

A great example is the reason why I am writing this article. When a city, a town or a country gets taken over, the things you can do are limited… You have to live like a person from the enemy’s country. They try to make you different.

That’s exactly why freedom is so important! Imagine speaking a different language. There would no longer be Lithuania or wherever you live. That makes you a different person! That isn’t fair! Because you weren’t asking anyone for a “makeover”, you didn’t want anything to change!

Freedom lets you live, experience things YOUR way, not the way someone wants you to. And technically you are still you, but you actually belong to someone.

Something like this expression:

Vilnius is ours, but we are Russia‘s .

I guess what I am trying to say is that freedom is us. There wouldn‘t be us if there weren‘t freedom.

So again, what DOES freedom mean to me?

MYSELF, freedom to me means me. Like a math equation…

Freedom = me.

That’s me, my achievements, my possibilities, my life.

Which would be the explanation to this whole article… Freedom. Equals. Me.

Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron is a very heart warming story about a horse

who gets kidnapped by evil men and he tries to escape and go back to his family. The visuals in this movie are very great, beautiful andrealistic. The movie is really great and it reminds us that we have freedom and we should be happy about it. We think that the movie is very beautiful and it’s a good story told plus the music and acting are great. The movie was released in 2002 by “Dream Works Animation“. Here are some of the voice actors: Matt Damon as spirit, James Cromwell as the Colonel, Daniel Studi as Little Creek. The ending is happy so we don‘t have to cry. Did you like the movie? Write your opinion. What does the animation teach us? 😳

At least one time in your life you had to make a presentation. But was your presentation successful? From my own experience I can clearly say the first time for almost all students is unlucky. So, to prevent the mistake which is usually made by students I want to share five tips which help me make a good presentation.

Firstly, you need to prepare for it carefully. It is not enough to give one hour or two for the preparation. You need to take more than half a day. To check it very attentively three, four or even five times to avoid mistakes of grammar, spelling and even to check pronunciation of the words unknown for you.

Secondly, know your audience.You need to make sure you know who you will be presenting to. If you do not know who your audience is you cannot explain your topic the best.

What is more, you need to have clear points.Try to prepare not too many points to talk and find as much information as you need.When you are presenting in front of people you usually feel stressed and get nervous, so you might not have enough time to develop all the points you had prepared.

Fourthly, do not depend on visuals too much.Try to use power point only to show some pictures or the most important things you are talking about. Do not write too much text as it will help you to prevent reading the material from the slides, which is considered to be a sigh of insufficient preparation

And last but not least, you need to have honest feedback.Try to record yourself and listen to how your voice sounds or see what you do too often, e.g. maybe you do useless movements with your hands, and try to avoid them. Also, ask your sisters, brothers or maybe even parents to listen to your presentation and ask what they think about it.

To sum up, you just need to develop your topic, know your public, deliver the points clearly, not rely on with visuals too much and try to believe in yourself. I hope these five tips will help you to make the best presentation ever 😉
