Hi Hendrix, the information was generally good. It was the presentation that needs work. There were a few hesitations, which are different from pauses. Pauses are fine. Hesitations imply uncertainty and you could sense the difference. You also used the sounds of hesitation several times, uhs, ers, etc. There was a point were you seemed to indicate that the civil rights movement came to an end, and I would disagree on that one piece of information. I think civil rights in ongoing.

Dear Shonna,
Unfortunately you are right. I have heard before that my presentation has room for improvement. I will work on that. So far I concentrated more on content.
With regards to the end of the Civil Rights Movement, the end of this historic period can indeed be seen in the assassination of Martin Luther King. However, I agree with you that it is essential for free societies to continue to stand up for civil rights, esp. with regards to recent developments.
Cheers, Hendrik

Of course, it is not nice to read this. However, I would like to thank you for your comment as I see it as a motivation to improve. I will try to produce better lessons in future. In this context, I would like to ask you which aspects you regard as being poor. Cheers, Hendrik
