OPINION
In my opinion, our oral presentation isn't perfect because has a lot of mistakes, but not is fatal because we didn't read in any moment and we weren't nervous.
Also, I think that oral presentation would be longer because our oral presentation during five minuts, but would have to have lasted 10 minuts.
In cloncusion, our oral presentation is good but we improve a lot of things.
